Awesome!

BTW, I recognise the music, but don't recall what it is. What is it?

Not sure, but I think it may be a Bach concerto?

As for the film - it's been making the rounds for a while now and surely is a wonderful example of morphing. It did, though, anger some women-in-film groups because it's such a misnomer, exclusively featuring young, mostly white, mostly American, leading actresses. e.g. No early pioneers like Alice Guy or Marie Dressler, comediennes like Alice Ghostly or Barbra Streisand?

So, I admire the technique but it should really have another name.

But thanks for posting it Stalean!

Beautiful, and yes, I did notice a few who were missing. I'm thinking there's one FWFR here who will be pleased that they left his favourite for last!

I just went through it again. At 1:04 after Audrey Hepburn and just before Shirley Maclaine, is that Mili Avital?

Well, they're welcome to make their own one and include Dawn French, Oprah Winfrey and Darlene Cates if they want.

If I had made that one I'd call it "Sean's Harem" or something.

Hm... for the first two I take it you mean Winslett and Driver, but Monica who?

(And I didn't see Charlize there either or Heigl.)

BaftaBabe originally posted this in this thread. The music is the same. According to the youtube post, it's Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007 performed by Yo-Yo Ma.

Sorry- that would be Bellucci, not Potter.

I thought I saw Minnie there. Must watch it again...

Edit: OK, I didn't the second time.

I knew it was Bach, but I'm not into cello and couldn't have told you what it was or who was playing it. The only cello piece I like listening to is - obviously - Elgar's Cello Concerto played by Jacqueline DuPre.

(I'm such a cliche!)

It's just clicked with me. The same piece of music features somewhere in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. At some point I shall dig out the DVD and try to find it.
