I’d like to get a list going of movies that are only (or mostly) remembered for it’s nude scene. (or scenes)

I don’t necessarily mean gratuitous nudity but more like “Holy crap!! So-n-So is doing a nude scene?!”

My entry:

**Barbarella** - Although it’s a copout because there is always something obscuring Fonda whenever she appears nude.

That was going to be my suggestion because that’s literally the only reason I even know of the movie’s existence.

At Play In the Fields of The Lord. It had Tom Berenger, Kathy Bates and Daryl Hannah all in separate nude scenes. Was quite surprising.

[Ecstasy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstasy_(film)) Hedy Lamarr’s nude scene is the only reason it’s remembered.

Alpha Dog – Olivia Wilde  
Conversations with Other Women – Nora Zehetner  
Feast of Love – Alexa Davalos  
Twilight(1998) – Reese Witherspoon  
Road Trip – Amy Smart

Leaving out the names WAS in the spirit of the OP tho…

I thought the point was listing movies that are notable for nude scenes and then saying who the so and so was.
