Leonardo da Vinci - the Ultimate Scientist/Artist Posted by: sundroid

An ultimate scientist/artist, da Vinci was much more than "the guy who did Mona Lisa and The Last Supper". The soundtrack is by Robert Schumann.

Jane Fonda in Barbarella Posted by: sundroid
Video duration: 100 seconds Calling "Barbarella" a "campy film" is to be polite about it.
