Hey all.
This topic I would think has been raised before, but in case it hasn't..
Let's try to be pretty clean with descriptions of favorite nude scenes. Pics/vids obviously shouldn't be used. We can use our imagination well enough, I would think. :)
One of my favorites is in HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP (1980). A guy with his girlfriend are on the beach in a tent. Showing off his ventriloquist dummy (!) somehow gets her hot and bothered and she starts stripping completely (save for a headband). And oh dear God.. what a bod! After her boyfriend gets slashed open by a titular humanoid, she runs out of the tent onto the beach in her birthday suit.. well, Happy Birthday to me apparently! It ain't my birthday but I'll take it!
Another is Michelle Johnson in BLAME IT ON RIO (1984).. she wouldn't have been quite legal in the US if it was filmed there, so maybe I should feel ashamed for panting like this.. but there's a particular scene where she wanted to take a nude photo to tease her friend's dad (played by Michael Caine) and once the "flash" (heh) is timed she yanks off her robe and sprawls out on a bed with nary a shred of fabric on her.. and yeah, her body is at least as incredible as the HUMANOIDS scene. BIOR isn't a great film by any means but it showed up a lot on late-night cable in the 1980s, which of course was aweesome forbidden fruit for teens in the throes of puberty.
Chime in on your own scenes you fondly remember, or maybe share your thoughts on the clips I mentioned above! The nude scenes can be of either men or women, and they don't have to be erotic in nature-- they can be funny too (like Graham Chapman in LIFE OF BRIAN).
I did not know that about Michelle Johnson. Different times for sure...
For nude scenes I'd take LIFEFORCE. The scene that begins at 0:00 and ends when the end credits roll.
Ah, Mathilda May. She certainly made a lasting impression.
There is also Linnea Quigley in Return of the Living Dead. And, if non-genre movies count, Béatrice Dalle in 37,2°C le matin.
Alice Krige bares it all briefly in GHOST STORY. 😍
I did not appear nude in the docco I was in last year 😳😳😉😉😉
Stephen Fry in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. I guess it's implied nudity really (except for an arse crack) but very funny.
Emilio Estevez is nekkid from behind in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S LOADED WEAPON: my eyes 😳😳
Betsey Russell in the 80's in general
Kate Winslet in Titanic.
Amanda Donohoe - Castaway
Emmanuelle Béart - La belle noiseuse
Cheech Marin - Nice Dreams
Mulholland Dr.
I was going to say that Dame Joan Collins bared it all in THE STUD during the swimming pool scene but she does still have a few things on 😍
Candy Clark goes full frontal in THE BIG SLEEP. 😍
Nastassja Kinski in Cat People
Lana Clarkson in Deathstalker & The Barbarian Queen
I think Harvey Keitel lets it all hang out in BAD LIEUTENANT 😳
Emmanuelle Escourrou in Baby Blood
In the MY BLOODY VALENTINE remake (2009) Betsy Rue walks across a hotel parking lot wearing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, full frontal! Pay that woman extra!
Emmanuelle Seigner in "The Ninth Gate" is a great one.
Marion Peterson & Valérie Allain in Aria (1987) (segment "Armide")

that's one of those nude scenes which is so protracted you almost start to forget she's even naked :bouncegiggle:
oddly as a huge fan of giallos and 80s slashers where a gratuitous flash of premium pork is high on the 'to do' checklist, I don't generally like nudity in movies? I don't mean that in a prudish way, but it always feels very contrived, and manages to take me out of the 'movie' somehow... eh.
... and as if to completely undermine everything I just said... TRADING PLACES :buggedout:
Heather Graham in Boogie Nights (1997)
"I never take off my (roller) skates"
A nude scene with a twist.
for the record, all nude scenes by Asia Argento in her father's movies are, well, weird.
Jennifer Jason Leigh in Single White Female (1992)
Bo Derek in Ghosts Can't Do It & Woman Of Desire
Phoebe Cates in PARADISE (1982). She bathes in a waterfall completely nude as Willie Aames stares on..
Pretty much all of Slumber Party Massacre 2 and Sorority House Massacre 2.
Nearly all of the nude scenes in "Straight Ruthless" and "Queen of Kings"
Also, the majority of the runtime of "Room In Rome"
For male nudity, there's "Spring Fever" and the 2021 film "The Assistant"
