5. Burn After Reading

Comments: Whenever the Coen bros. need to cast an idiot – they look to George Clooney to fill the shoes. Completing his trilogy of dummies with O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty, Clooney provided comic relief in the zany role of a serial dater who has every reason to be paranoid.
