No, not the kind that Britney Spears grew up in. Trailer Park is "a competition where assistant editors ‘re-cut’ trailers for famous movies to try and make them seem like different movies ." This is where The Shining: A Love Story comes from. Scary Mary is another example.
We're doing this at work right now and I thought I would gauge interest in holding our own contest. The movies currently selected for Trailer Park are: Little Miss Sunshine, The Queen and The Departed but we don't have to use those. I would like to use Blade Runner for sure but feel free to put suggestions in this thread.
The Rules
Editing Software
There are a few free options. Avid makes FreeDV that will do everything you need. It's for a mac or a pc and I know avid really well so I could help with questions. They also have Tutorials on their website. Microsoft Movie Maker is another option for those with a pc. Those with macs should all have iMovie or final cut so I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. Of course if you have Final Cut Pro, Avid Express or (shudder) Adobe Premiere you can use those too.
How to I Get the Video
There are plenty of dvd rippers out there. One that I've used, on the mac, is MPEG Streamclip. It has pretty good compression options and is free. I'm sure there are more, feel free to make suggestions as the thread goes on.
I'll update this post with contestants, movies start date, etc. and change the title to reflect an update.
Ok, who is interested?

- Dark City
- Sexy Beast

I dunno if I can
but I'll try.
Also as another example you could throw up the re-cut of The Shining as a family film
EDIT: voila!
Shining
EDIT: Oh, I'm retarded, you already mentioned it.
i wish i had a better transfer to work with
You should do this.
We all have to use Blade Runner?
Fuck that noise, I'm using movies I actually have.
no there's gonna be more movies
but blade runner is for sure
I'm downloading it right now with a key to unlock it on my screen, straight from Avid.
Also, you missed the link to Shining right at the top of the OP.
More like Dumb Hero.

Blade Runner is definitely in. So that leaves two others.
Suggestions so far are:
Iron Giant
Silent Hill.
anchorman
memento
ocean's eleven
donnie darko
The Princess Bride? Might be too hard to do anything with it.
Ooo! Fargo!
I would also like to nominate:
