> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Avalonian \* > You’re talking about the one in which she pees, I take it? I actually thought that scene was pretty critical to the story at that point, since it’s all about Harvey Keitel trying to break down her barriers. A powerful moment in the film, I felt, and not gratuitous at all. (I must remember to check all posts before I post) Don’t remember the film too well (a self-preservation mechanism) but the scene involved Kate Winslet outdoors, either walking or running towards the camera with her hands outstretched. I remember thinking how grotesquely pretentious and irrelevant the scene was. ---

Other stupid booby tricks you’ll miss: Magda scratchin and blow-drying the underside of her fake ta-tas. “We decided less was more,” says Bob Farrelly. “The breats are ugly enough that just a flash of them got a big fat ‘Eww!’ Anything longer would have been too gross.” And that’s saying a lot. > -Tricia Laine, with additional reporting by Dave Karger _Wild Things_ unfortunately showed Kevin’s Bacon. However, that may be a very good nude scene to the other half of the population. ---

> [@](#): > > John Cleese’s pasty ass in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life . Coincidentally, this film also contains the best nude scene in a movie: topless girls in bicycle helmets running in slow motion. [Duffman] Oooh yeah! [/Duffman] Personally, I’d have to vote for Something about Mary, too. But that was just a bad film overall, so it really didn’t have that much impact. I’d also like to direct your attention to Helen Hunt’s nipples through her wet T-Shirt in _As good as it gets_. Not very flattering. ---

The full-frontal was just for shock value, IMO, and maybe not entirely out of place. I still didn’t want to see it. ---

Have any of you people seen Troma’s _Terror Firmer_? I don’t know which was worse: the fat guy with plaster on his head getting a BJ from that girl, freaking out and running naked through Times Square, then getting his head crushed by an automobile while his little willy wiggled away for about ten minutes, or the climax scene where Casey opens his robe and is revealed to be a hermaphrodite whose father (Ron Jeremy, of course) lopped off his dick as a child so he could have a little girl to fuck. Top _That_! 😃 ---

I can, the first Topless scene in Scary Movie. _YUCK!!!_ Granted it was the effect they were going for but still Gross! Practically all of the scenes in Showgirls were bad. I’ve never seen such a huge number of naked women parts and still not get a woody. That film almost made me gay. Right now, I’m just fashionably sensible. ---

I haven’t seen it, but I heard that eighty-something Jessica Tandy did a nude scene in “Camilla,” her last movie. NOT a pleasant thought. ---

**Heaven’s Prisoners** had the most disappointing nude scene with Teri Hatcher. She looked so baggy and withered. Unlike her nude scene in **The Cool Surface** where she was HOTTT in all caps and three t’s! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Shadez \* > \*\*Romeo in one of the older versions of _Romeo and Juliet_ … saw it in English class, all we saw was his naked derriere. That was enough – scarred for life! \*\* You must be thinking of 17-year-old Leonard Whiting in Franco Zeffirelli’s famous 1968 film. But considering that Whiting had a cute butt (all the girls in my neighborhood agreed), and that the scene was as they say “artistically and tastefully” done, what in heck scarred you for life? It’s not like they had a close-up. ---

This is a very dispiriting thread to read. At first I thought - how could nudity in a movie be a _bad_ thing? I mean, each to their own preferences and tastes but… a _bad_ thing? But lots of posts here have dredged up memories I had blanked out. The winner for me has already been mentioned - Cleese in _The Meaning Of Life_. Not a good idea on any level. ---

Burt Lancaster’s dead ass (he was killed) in **Go Tell the Spartans**. Completely unnecessary scene at the end of the movie that could have easily been done with his britches on. It’s a war flick for chrissakes! What’s the point?
