Then here's a film for you, Shemp. Rent a copy of "Innocents" (called "The Dreamers" in the US), by Bernardo Bertolucci. It's set in Paris, 1968, in the milieu of first the Mediateque riots and later the general strike riots. It's a true film buff's film, with the three characters being young film freaks who delight in acting out scenes from their favorite classic movies. Not a great flick, but Bertolucci (gettin' up there in years himself) still has a flawless eye for the human body, and the film is full of nudity, the most memorable aspect of which is Eva Green, who will soon join the ranks of Bond girls in the remake of "Casino Royale." Again, *not* a great flick, but wonderful for film buffs. It's Bertolucci's homage to Nouvelle Vague, the cinema that changed his life and made him a filmmaker.
