"Jews on a Train"
I'm glad you included a link, because I was thinking you meant "Throw Mama from the Train," which deserves at least an honorable mention.
George Clooney Fucks up Another One (subtitled: He Can't Act, But Women Seem to Love Him). All purpose, really, but I'm thinking mainly of Solaris. He might do well as the pompous ass in Flow My Tears as the obnoxious self-loving aging celebrity, because he could play himself.
