I don't want any trouble like getting sued or such, am I able to download movie trailers (ie Robin Hood, Iron man 2) and post them on youtube?

    Well, you are unlikely to get sued, although the videos would probably get taken down fairly quickly, since you do not own the copyright to them.

    I agree that it's unlikely that you'd get sued, unless you were trying to make money off of it somehow. Also whether it gets taken down or not depends on which movie trailer you post. Some of the movie companies are dead set against any type of online social advertising. Others welcome it, in hopes of a good viral video bringing them free advertising.
