It is all well and good to mock Hollywood, but one movie had an extraordinary indirect impact on the American economy, adding between $5 and $15 trillion to our GDP.

Which movie will have an extraordinary indirect impact on the American economy, removing approximately $6.7 trillion from our economy.

Sympathy for Reagan, indeed.
Maybe Hillary should write a letter to Hinckley telling him she is arranging for his release and informing him at the end, "By the way, I understand Jodie Foster is interested in dating Barack Obama." Similar joke letters circulate around emails and the internet from time to time.
Davod - How about "Titanic," since it was a movie that Monica and Bill talked about during their phone sex, and made Bill take his eye off the ball and permitted the internet stock bubble to inflate and pop? Eh, maybe not. I give up, what movie?

Sorry for the delay. No power for two days in Reston, Virginia due to weather - Must be Bush's fault.
A trick question - An Inconvenient Truth. However, Gore did use the ice field crashing into the water scene from a Hollywood movie.
