As a trillionaire talk-show host/philanthropist/producer and nine other job titles, Oprah does it all and shows no signs of stopping. Our personal favorite out of her 100 sub-careers? Actress. The upcoming release of Lee Daniels’ The Butler (in theaters August 16), where Oprah plays a strong woman behind a strong man as Forest Whitaker’s wife, reminded us of that.

In our humble opinion, she doesn’t step appear on the silver screen nearly enough. Maybe that’s because the check isn’t significant enough to carve out too much time for it. We know she’s a busy woman, so we’ve done some brainstorming and pre-producing for her. We've cooked up 11 surefire box office hits that would more than warrant her considerable acting chops, and probably garner Academy Award attention. Here are the 11 Movie Roles We’d Like To See Oprah Winfrey Play.
