Recycled from an old discussion on another board about Vidal/Guccione’s Caligula, which I recently had occasion to reread. It was being debated what it would take for porn/erotica to cross the line into the mainstream, and someone opined that there’s no crossing the gulf between a movie you masturbate to and one you don’t. To which someone else claimed that’s not necessarily the most reliable rule of thumb.
So can anyone name some possible examples?
Lifeforce and Species.
Just off the top of my head, I got:
Driving Miss Daisy
Throw Mama From the Train
Cocoon
The English Patient
and, of course,
Top Gun (especially the volleyball scene).
Career Opportunities
Fast Times At Ridgemont High. It’s the movie they invented the pause button for.
To quote Tom Leher
I could tell you things about Peter Pan,
And the Wizard of Oz, there’s a dirty old man!
**The Human Centipede. **
Nobody say Curly Sue!
That’s what I came in here to say. So I’ll add “Wild Things”.
Steve Guttenberg shirtless and I’m halfway there.
Uh…p-Power Rangers?
The Great Race. Natalie Wood in a corset, mmmmmmmmmmmmm! :o
Tony Curtis, shirtless and sweaty, for those of another persuasion.
Dude…cmon. The first response steals my answer??
Without reading the rest of the thread I’ll chip in Excalibur.
… So to speak. :rolleyes:
The panty raid in Revenge of the Nerds was pretty hot too. :o

I think that, as long as we just keep this to a list of titles, this thread can probably remain open and on course. But please, let’s not have any details.
Bring It On.
Bound
Back in the 1980s and 1990s, video store clerks claimed that they had to replace cassettes of Trading Places frequently, because the tape would always get worn out at Jamie Lee Curtis’ topless scene.
Thelma & Louise. Specifically the young & sometimes shirtless Brad Pitt.
I remember one guy writing (to Playboy? I don’t recall) about how he was turned off by most porn, and what really did it for him were nude scenes like the opening scenes of the original Carrie.
