King of the Gypsies
(1978)
The story traces the life of a gypsy boy from pre-conception through his
becoming King of the Gypsies in the New York area. All eight of them. Not much
of a kingship. I guess he's not really the king of the gypsies so much as the
squad leader of a few New York gypsies, but the precise details don't make for
a very resonant film title.
His mother is Susan Sarandon, and his grandfather, the previous King of the
Gypsies, is Sterling Hayden, and those parts of his life work well, other than
making him an outcast in mainstream society. What doesn't work for him at all
is his ne'er-do-well father (Judd Hirsch), whose abuse causes him to leave
home and abandon the gypsies for a period of time. When grandfather is near
death and names his grandson as his successor, the grandson has fateful
decisions to make.
Eric Roberts, in the lead role, was nominated for a Golden Globe; Sarandon
also stands out; and there is not a bad performance in the film.
Unfortunately, there is nothing fresh about the story of a kid who is
eventually forced to fulfill his birthright after growing up in, then seeming
to leave, a family criminal organization associated with a distinctive ethnic
minority group in New York, as immortalized in a 1970s movie.
It's essentially The Godfather with earrings.
IMDb readers say 6.2.
Susan Sarandon shows her right breast when her husband tries to force her
son to have sex with her.

I have to assume that Spaz is correct about the unidentified actress in
Bolero (2004). It certainly looks like Eva
Aichmajerova.
(There is no way that I could have found this out using the movie's credits
or the IMDB.)
Here are the updated caps.

Fool's Gold
The good news about this 2008 romantic comedy/adventure flick is that,
because of the setting, the women spend a great deal of their time in
bikinis.
The bad news is the movie is kind of lame, and not very adventurous.
Tess (Kate Hudson) is divorcing her adventurer husband after years of
watching him waste all their money looking for a lost treasure. She is
working aboard a private yacht when ex-hubby shows up, and guess what?
He's found the treasure. There's a problem, though, because bad guys also
know of his discovery, and they're trying to beat him to the find. He
manages, despite Tess' objections, to convince her rich boss and his
dumber-than-a-rock daughter (Alexis Dziena) to assist, and off they all go
after the treasure.
It's just pretty silly, with absolutely no substance or believability,
but the women look good.
