(a) the law begs to differ, that there’s no kiddie, son… and besides,  
(b) for a while, wasn’t gratuituousness the whole point of Thora Birch?

Craig Wasson in Ghost Story and Terrence Howard in the 50 cent bio…while I appreciated their artistic integrity, I was kinda embarrassed for them.

You’re conflating two different scenes. The jiggling breasts which followed the jiggling jello cups were clothed. Gratuitous yes, but definitely clothed. The _naked_ jiggling breasts came during the scene where Julie Hagerty asked if anyone knew how to fly a plane, causing mass hysteria.

Speaking of zombies… there’s a scene in _Scout’s Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse_ where the hero ends up dangling out a window while holding onto an old zombie man’s penis. No joke. I’d say it was unnecessary but it was the only funny scene in that terrible movie.

Seems like an odd thing to get upset about.

Eighty five replies and no one has mentioned **Borat**?

Really? I was under the impression that there was probably LESS nudity in mainstream films these days. Perhaps I am wrong; perhaps this is another thread.

Considering **Borat** came out in 2006 and this thread is from 2001 and was just revived today, is that really surprising?

Me, I’ve seen _Harold and Maude_, and it really is a sweet movie, but I’ve never seen the nude scene. It’s my understanding that the director originally intended a long scene of Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon making love, and that he actually shot the scene. The studio balked at this, however, and it was cut. I’ve never seen this scene, and I’m unaware of any version of the movie with the nude scene in it. It might exist, but I don’t know.

She was 16 when the movie came out but 15 when they filmed it.

Never was an (alleged) studio cut more worthwhile.

Without it, we’d have been dealing with a critical worldwide shortage of brain bleach.

Didn’t care much for seeing Bob Hoskins’s meat and two veg in _Mrs. Henderson Presents_.

Ditto for the big naked pissed-off husband in _Sideways_.

Hodor’s hodor was a prosthetic hodor. 😛

Also: Lady Melisandre in her “ancient crone” guise.

It’s bad luck to mention the name of the Kazak Film.

Not really nude, but the clay throwing scene in ‘Ghost’ with Demi and Patrick is sickening to me, I really hate it, will not watch it!

Sorta related to the topic. This ancient [Cracked](http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-5-most-spectacularly-unsexy-workout-videos-ever/)article is pretty creepy/hilarious. Especially the Angela Lansbury entry.

I couldn’t agree more and it was based on a true story. Crispin Glover was awesome in it.

Amy Irving and Dennis Hopper in Carried Away.

Both well past their physical prime.

I had a crush on Amy twenty years earlier. I would have preferred keeping that memory intact.
