p.1 #1 · Photography related movies?

I just watched City of God today and came to wonder, what other movies include some story related to photography? Doesn't necessarily have to be completely about photography, just include it in some way. By that I don't mean just show a camera for a second or two

Austin Powers, when using his secret cover as a world famous fashion photographer uses alot of cool Nikon F/FTN equipment.

The Omen w/Gregory Peck has some good scenes with old Nikon F and SP rangefinder gear.

El Salvador I think it's called w/James Wood. Movie sucks but it's about a gonzo type war photographer.

Momento?

This guy used photos to back track on his life, because he couldn't remember anything. He used a polaroid. The movie was hard for me to follow though, since it was basically backwards timeline...

City of God is by far the best photography/er related movie I've ever seen. Such a visually intense flick.

Does anyone know the name of a small film about a female photographer that came out last year? I think it was a period piece.

Correction: An excellent horror film.

The original film, not the USA remake garbage, of course.

Julia Roberts is also a photographer in 'Closer', using Leica and Hassleblad gear IIRC.
