Angels & Demons
Playing: Robert Langdon
Tom Hanks is great, but we love him much more in comedic roles than in dramatic ones, and since the book version of A&D was actually a prequel to The Da Vinci Code, a slightly younger Langdon would make sense. Bana would have been great at all the action scenes, and maybe he could have kept a few more of those cardinals from being murdered?

Terminator Salvation
Playing: John Connor
Christian Bale was kind of dull as the one destined to lead the human resistance against the machines, but Bana could have injected some energy into the role, and made those fireside chats a lot more entertaining, maybe told a couple of anecdotes.

Night at the Museum: The Battle of the Smithsonian
Playing: Abraham Lincoln
The stone president was computer-generated in the movie, but Bana is already a pretty big dude, at 6-foot-2, so why not just paint him white and put him in the big chair? He'd tower over Ben Stiller without any special effects.

Land of the Lost
Playing: Dr. Rick Marshall
Will Ferrell's wacky take on the character didn't help the movie out at the box office, so perhaps a more handsome, heroic, action-oriented Marshall (played by Bana) would turn it into a hit?

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
Playing: Ryder
We're sorry, but we just don't find John Travolta scary anymore. The last time he frightened us was in Staying Alive. Bana would have made a much better hijacker, and he wouldn't have needed a goatee and neck tattoo to do it, either.

Year One
Playing: Marlak
The guy playing the greatest hunter in Jack Black's tribe was certainly ripped, but was he a leader of men? Hell, no. Bana would have played Marlak with bluster and swagger, and just the right amount of stupidity.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Playing: The Fallen
As the ancient alien who once slaughtered the humans of primitive Earth before his brothers turned on him and imprisoned him, Bana would bring the same sense of extra-terrestrial menace that he brought to the role of Nero.

The Ugly Truth
Playing: Abby Richter
Katherine Heigl is an okay actress, but the movie was just so formulaic it made us sick. What if Eric Bana played a gay TV producer, and he asked the straight Gerard Butler for advice on how to attract men? Butler would be reluctant at first, but as he saw Bana take his teachings to heart, maybe he starts to fall in love with him a little. Doesn't that sound like a much more interesting movie?

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Playing: Duke
Considering that Duke was going to be put through a lot of emotions in this movie, and that he would one day be asked to lead the Joe team in the field, maybe they should have gotten a more talented actor than Channing Tatum. An emoting Bana would have delivered on the agony of losing his fiancée and the confusion of being asked to give away his last piece of Double Bubble.

Julie & Julia
Playing: Julia Child
We loved Meryl Streep's Julia Child impersonation, but the woman is only 5-foot-6, which meant they had to raise her up to fake Child's 6-foot-2 height. You know who's 6-foot-2, don't you? Put a wig and a dress on Bana -- something we're sure he did plenty on his old sketch comedy show -- and you've got the master chef to a tee.

What movie do you wish Eric Bana had been in?
