Yeah, I love that Julia Roberts movie too, but there are others as well that aren't so damn fantasy.

Since she was only a "call girl for "4 days" lol, I did not think it applied. The others were based on the lifestyle the entire movie.

Belle du Jour
Klute
Breakfast at Tiffany's (yes, Holly is a call girl)
Leaving Las Vegas
Night Shift
Blazing Saddles ("it's twue! It's twue!")
Nights of Cabiria
Trading Places
 

Watched Monster didn't know that was Charlize Theron till end of movie, great acting! did not look like Her!

Duece Bigalo mail gigalo. > b/c its so him .

She gained like 50 lbs for that role and what they did to her face, hair, and teeth was amazing. Could not even recognize her. Ricci looked horrible too for that matter, but in Black Snake Down or Black Hole Down lol, she was ripped!

With that little girls mom . First role for the lovely Natalie Portman .  

Never saw any of those with the exception of Breakfast at Tiffany's and Leaving Las Vegas.  

Jerry Mcquire.

Re: First one is a lot better than European Gigolo.. [e] yeah nicks no good at his

French , I don't care what he says !!!! The hummingbird is a pigeon !

..the 'whores' are a central part of the theme of the movie.    especially like how they wove the use of the term 'free ones' in the movie in a couple of scenes

Leaving Las Vegas
Requiem for a Dream (she prostitutes herself in the way of the sexual acts, not necessarily one on one with multitudes of men)

Great Movie, Maybe His best!

... might have run true for the ladies who saw it!  Ganz the creepy bad guy and the lady in the cheap hotel.  Complete with cartoons.   Great film; they don't make them like this anymore.    

Deuce Bigalow  Male Gigolo! Lol

Dumb ass movie, but ah well.

"Just a bigelow, everywhere I go...."

Love that flick.  Especially Dennis Hopper's rant about Sicilians to Christopher Walken in the trailer.  I send it to all my Sicilian friends.

It was considered scandalous back when it was made.  Featured a young Susan Sarandon as a New Orleans hooker during WWI.  Brooke Shields, only 14 at the time, played her daughter whose virginity is auctioned off to the highest bidder.  I stayed at the hotel in the Garden District where the interiors were shot.  It was called "The Columns."

"Better not cut up, nor otherwise harm no whores... or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons of bitches."

Malena with Monica Bellucci with director Tornatore.  It is a story placed in Sicily during WWII when a young widow lady with no more cash turned to the oldest profession.  It is actually a wonderful (but sad) movie with great coreography and actors.

'and I'll kill him, and I'll burn his house down'  - loved that line

Not a big-name film, but "The American" with Italian actress Violante Placido and American mumbler George Clooney.

Holly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Well Done! A Classic!

Really? Fellini? An Art movie? Good one.I'll have to check it out.

Virtuous man, that Eastwood!

Definitely a dumbass movie, but Sasha Grey did well. Unusual...

... a pretty intense first few scenes.

Great movie, DonB.

here was a French movie from last year called 'Elles' which is worth checking out. It stars Juliette Binoche as a journalist interviewing two students working as providers for a magazine

" Ljubljana 2008. The time of the Slovenian presidency of the European Union. Aleksandra (Nina Ivanišin) is a 23-year-old English language student. She comes from a small town. Her parents are divorced. No one knows that Aleksandra runs personal ads under the nickname, “Slovenka” (The Slovenian Girl) and that prostitution is her secret source of income. She’s very good at manipulating others (including her father and ex-boyfriend), is an accomplished liar and a bit of a thief. She resents her mother and regards her as being selfish. Her ambition is to escape the banality of her home town and settle in the big city, but her clandestine job leads her to a dangerous encounter with local criminals.

Here is the trailor-

I eat the pussy...   I eat the butt...   I eat EVERY mother fuckin thang

I like the pimp...

Yea, that was a bit much to take...still is, actually. Many of the original brothels in New Orleans are now apartment buildings.

Is "The Columns" still open as a bar and hotel?  Great place, right on St. Charles.

Surprised cineaste forgot this one.  Comedy.  Huge international hit in 1960.  Melina Mercouri won best actress at Cannes, four Oscar nominations, won for music.  Most pro "profession" of them all.  B&W, available on Netflix streaming.

Sophia Loren's role as a high-end prostitute in the 3rd vignette (Mara of Rome) in "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" is an absolute classic. I've been in love with Sophia Loren since the 1960's, and think she's the most beautiful woman of all time, so I'm a bit prejudiced.  

Fantine was the only hooker in there (that was featured)...but hard to not feel sorry for her while she died.

It makes me cry every time.
