A very important post about…. Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Yeah, yeah, there’s another government bailout of a bank and Barack Obama is unfurling his economic team and policy proposals. Can we get to the important stuff? Like, the sexiest movie ever?

Yeah, yeah, there's another government bailout of a bank and Barack Obama is unfurling his economic team and policy proposals. Can we get to the important stuff? Like, the sexiest movie ever? Entertainment Weekly, as is their wont, has come up with their list of the 50 sexiest movies of all time, and gee, the list suck eggs. The fact that 300 is on the list at all is the first tipoff that something is wrong [But that one is for the gays!!--ed. Oh, for Pete's sake, then put Top Gun on the list -- that flick has way more homoeroticism than 300.] More importantly, I refuse to live in a world in which Mr. & Mrs. Smith is declared to the the third sexiest movie of all time. Call me old, old school, but a list like this that has no Bogart-Bacall films, no Tracy-Hepburn movies, no Bringing Up Baby, no Thomas Crown Affair (either version), only one Susan Sarandon movie, etc., then the list is pretty piss-poor. It does get one thing right, however. This is a pretty sexy scene: Readers are encouraged to improve upon Entertainment Weekly and discuss which sexy movies were thoughtlessly omitted from the list.
