Elegy (HD) If you like watching old balding men with huge moles banging young latin actresses then you are going to love Elegy. Penelope Cruz gets about as naked as one could ever hope as she portrays the lover of the aging Ben Kingsley. The movie itself is slow but it is completely worth watching one time to see Penelope naked. In the last scene Penelope cries as she takes her top off to be photographed nude. A lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying.
Open Your Eyes (Abre Los Ojos) Spanish filmmaker Alejandro Amenabar's surreal psychological suspenser (remade by director Cameron Crowe as "Vanilla Sky") stars Eduardo Noriega as a handsome lothario who accepts a ride home from a jealous ex-flame.

Penelope Cruz, Najwa Nimri also star. 117 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital Surround; Subtitles: English; production notes.
Penelope Cruz is luminous in this fantasy-tinged comic drama from Spain's Pedro Almodovar. When Raimunda (Cruz) suffers the loss of a beloved aunt and then learns that her daughter (Yohana Cobo) has killed her stepfather (Antonio de la Torre) after he made unwanted advances, Raimunda tries to cover up the murder, and receives some unlikely help...from the ghost of her late mother (Carmen Maura)! Blanca Portillo, Carlos Blanco also star.
Based on the popular Broadway play back in the 80s, Nine is going to remind a lot of people of Chicago. Not just because it's directed by the same guy, but because you've got a cast of amazingly beautiful women (Penelope Cruz, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson to name a few) and yet NONE OF THEM GET NAKED!!!! I can appreciate a sexy dancer as much as the next guy, but PLEASE! A little skin would be nice.
This Spanish romantic comedy follow the lives of two people, Santi and Diana (played by Penelope Cruz and Ana Belen at different points in Diana's life) who meet during the Beatles only visit to Spain. While they feel inexorably tied together, their different social statuses ultimately keep them apart no matter how hard they bump into each other over the course of their lives. Peneolope's screen time is fairly short, but this gem is a must for true PC fans.
Pedro Almodovar and the reigning Queen of Spanish Cinema, Penelope Cruz, team up again in this story about an actress who sacrifices everything for true love. Of course in any Almodovar movie there are twists and turns, treachery and absurdity, and a bit of skin from Kira Miro as well!
