That is certainly the reason why it got publicity. I remember it being a pretty funny movie. Robert Preston was hilarious. It has been a\* long \*time since I saw that movie so I don’t know how it has held up.  
\*In the Cut \*qualifies. It is only known for it’s Meg Ryan nude scenes. 20 years too late and in a bad movie. I tried to watch it on cable and never made it to any nudity.

I came in for that one. It was such a glaring nude scene (stark naked in a road!) for an actress usually thought of for her prudish roles and underage looks.

Good sausage! Also good: Watchmen (CGI), Sex and the City (random hot dude)

Bad sausage: Harold and Kumar (various), Sarah Marshall (HIMYM guy)

Very bad sausage: Observe and Report (random old fat dude in a trenchcoat)

So good it’s distracting? Home at the End of the World (Colin Farrell) - reportedly edited out after audiences became hypnotized and were unable to collect themselves enough to comprehend the rest of the movie…

some flick whos exact name I cant recall but it was essentially blue lagoon 2, which instead of Brooke Shields naked had Milla Jovovich as its half naked and possibly underaged starlet.

You mean [Return to Blue Lagoon](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102782/)?

Doesn’t really fit the thread, she was basically an unknown at the time.

Wait a minute .. they made a movie with Kristen Bell & Mila Kunis – _and a guy gets naked_?

This is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

I add three movies:

Short Cuts (1993) - frontal nudity by _Julianne Moore_; was a big deal back then.

Maléna (2000) - \*Monica Bellucci \*in all her glory.

Lifeforce (1985) - _Mathilda May_, walking around stark naked through London as some space vampiress.

Tell me about it. Worst abuse of a unrated director’s cut I’ve ever encountered.

If you like Ewan check out the movie “Young Adam” it had more nude scenes than dressed scenes. Both men and women so everybody’s happy.

di Rossi and the beautiful Tara Fitzgerald were also nude. It was, nudity aside, a very charming movie.

**S.O.B.** was also a very vicious black comedy (though it went on too long) and despite the topless Julie Andrews (who had previously done a nude scene in \*\*Darling Lili[/b), the best thing about the film was Robert Preston; it was one of those roles where you start looking forward to his every line.

How about _The Hot Spot_ with Jennifer Connelly? Virginia Madsen is naked in it too.

Two flicks with enormous casts in which pretty much everybody is nude all the time: **Fellini’s Satyricon** (the waning days of the Roman empire were apparently one long orgy) and **Prospero’s Books** (famous for John Gielgud’s first ever nude scene - at age 76. ick!)

_Smallville_ fans might enjoy Annette O’Toole’s fully-revealed bodaciousness in 1987’s _Cross my Heart_.

_SCTV_ fans might enjoy Martin Short - same situation, same movie.

Anne Hathaway in _Havoc_.

Did I mention Anne Hathaway in _Havoc_?

He’s also quite nude in [Velvet Goldmine](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120879/). Covered in glitter too, if I recall.

I’d recommend the 1982 remake of _Cat People_ instead. Nastassja Kinski makes for a better nude co-star than Martin Short.

[Thomas Crown Affair](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0155267/) – Renee Ruso spends about a third of the movie topless.

Did \*\*Sex and Death 101 \*\*also have a nude scene by an \*established \*star? I haven’t seen it myself, but I know it as the movie where Jessica “Sugar” Kiper from \*\*Survivor \*\*can be seen.

Somebody on the internet catalogs everything.

The [Celebrity Nudity Database on Sex and Death 101](http://www.cndb.com/movie.html?title=Sex+and+Death+101+%282007%29).

Winona Ryder and Sophie Monk also show some flesh.
