The Name of the Rose (1986)

After securing his legacy as a pop icon per his portrayal of Ian Fleming’s British spy James Bond from 1962 to 1983, Sean Connery found another book-to-movie adaptation to further his cinematic success. The Scottish actor won a BAFTA for playing Franciscan friar William of Baskerville in The Name of the Rose (1986), not to be confused with the Italian miniseries The Name of the Rose (2019). While both productions are based on Umberto Eco’s same-named novel of 1980, this R rated flick brought history and mystery to the big screen. In other words, the critically-acclaimed Dark Ages whodunit proved to be a big hit at the box office. Under the direction of Jean-Jacques Annaud, the movie has it all: a plot with crimes that appear to be the work of the Devil; depictions of the infamous Inquisition; and a César Award for Best Foreign Film! The period piece even took the time to throw in some sexy skin for good measure. And these measurements are provided by lovely Latina Valentina Vargas. The skinternational starlet (who is fluent in Spanish, French, English and the universal language of lust) first turned Mr. Skin’s head when she mounted Adso of Melk (Christian Slater) in this pic. As a randy peasant good-time girl, Ms. Vargas lets the young monk feel up her bare breasts. She then flashes her bush and buns as the two get it on. Via Valentina’s naked exorcism of Slater’s holy rod, audience members rose in the name of her three Bs!
