23. I can't guess, unless Tom Cruise was a blind masseur in "Last Samurai"
Certainly we all know that Tom Cruise has spent his own life helping those in need.

18. Primary Colors
With John Travolta as Billy Clinton and a very Americanized Emma Thompson as the ruthless Hillary Clinton.

Freaking awesome three-hour flick.







And btw...Hillary aint ruthless.

30. any movie starring Helen Mirren?
I understand in England that if you don't see Mirren's boobies in one of her films you can get your money back.

33. The Queen has a really hot scene
Where she yanks open her blouse and tells Blair to swear allegiance to the girls.

Actually, Age of Consent is the must see Helen Mirren film, TCM runs it late at night every once in a while.
