DAY FIVE
For those of you just now joining us, we've spent the last five days wrangling the twenty-five most amusing clips demonstrating the newly minted art of the re-cut movie trailer. Each day this week, we've been bringing you five new ones in the hopes that you'd laugh, cry and/or indict us for our poor taste. Today's the last day so you must seize it. Get a peek at today's clips (in which De Niro and Pacino get romantic, the kids from Fame go cani-ballistic and Mary Poppins embraces her inner succubus). Then go back and enjoy our selections from earlier in the week. Tell us which are your favorites and which ones we totally missed. The power is yours!
