Was musing on this while watching To Live and Die in L.A. Persona and Three Women are the two titles that come to mind. Are there others?

To not spoil it, I'll just say the Cronenberg one where the name "became available."

Welcome to DVDtalk Please take some time to look around at all the forums that are offered here. In particular since this thread is more about movies in general and not DVD it would be more appropriate for the Movie forum. I just wanted to explain why it was moved.

thx

There's a slick scene involving David Bowie's wife in the middle of STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY that comes to mind...

Also Star Wars-wise, there's Ep I - The Phantom Menace, in which the handmaiden played by Keira Knightley impersonated Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman). (I personally think Anakin fell for the wrong one!)
