Opening this Friday, Michel Gondry's film Be Kind Rewind follows two video store employees, Mike and Jerry (played by Mos Def and Jack Black) who recreate shortened versions of the movies in their store when all of the videos are erased. Gondry himself spoofed his own trailer for Be Kind Rewind by recreating it by himself, scene for scene, with hilarious results. Now, thanks to a Filmmaking Frenzy contest, people around the country have been doing what Jerry and Mike — making spoofy 5-minute versions of their favorite films — in the hopes of winning a quad-core Dell workstation with a 30-inch monitor.

Presented by AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), contestants had from January 1 to February 8 to submit their videos. The movies "will be screened at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on February 18-20, with a 'best of' screening and awards ceremony on Feb 21."

Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the target audience for Be Kind Rewind, the majority of videos are for 80s flicks, like The Karate Kid, Back to the Future and Mannequin. Judging by the multiple entries, it looks like Top Gun and Jurassic Park are some of the most popular films to remake for a 5-minute movie. Some of them are seriously funny, and they're all goofy enough to elicit some chuckles. I especially enjoyed the use of an orange housecat to simulate an R.O.U.S. (Rat Of Unusual Size) in The Princess Bride. To see a full listing of the videos, click here.
