I couldn't find an image for the film, sorry.
Naomi is rumoured to play Melanie Daniels in the remake of THE BIRDS.  That should be good!

Sorry for interrupting, but I couldn't resist.

Historical author Erastes had rounded up a top 10, or 11 or 12 list of hot guys in historical movies. It's a pretty good list (I can't complain, Hugh J. is number 3) and some pretty great pictures. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge. CHECK OUT the pic of Rupert Everett with the skull...(warning, depending on where you work, it might not be safe!)

"V" is Volavérunt (1999)
« Reply #5009 on: September 19, 2008, 11:07:05 am »

From IMDb: The story revolves around Goya's womanizing and the mysterious death of the Duchess of Alba at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries, at a time when Madrid was wobbling through a difficult time and setting the scene for the following Prim vs. Crown uprising. The title of the film comes from the Duchess of Alba's euphemism for her most private parts, supposedly revealed in the famous painting "La Maja Desnuda" but which in fact is another woman's body -- possibly Pepita Tudó (Penélope Cruz).
