Burn After Reading
2008
In this darkly comic farce from Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, an ousted CIA official (John Malkovich) loses his penned memoir to a pair of moronic gym employees (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand, in a Golden Globe-nominated role) who use it to try and turn a profit. George Clooney and Tilda Swinton round out the cast of this irreverent tale of poorly executed espionage, which also earned a Golden Globe nod for Best Picture (Comedy).

Comedy, Spoof
George Clooney and Brad Pitt especially offer great performances in this very weird yet rewarding movie about an ambitious woman who is convinced she has her hands on sensitive government information. The movie may leave you confused but smiling.
