Same here, except it was with a couple buds, I think it may even have been my birthday.

I’m sure I saw some before this and didn’t care, but the first one I remember in a “wow, I have a funny happy feeling” kind of way was **Blue Thunder**. The genie was out of the bottle at that point. That same year (1982/1983), on cable or at the theater, I rapidly followed with **Porky’s, Ridgemont High, Last American Virgin, Class, Risky Business, My Tutor…**.

Man, what a great year to hit adolescence.

As far as I can remember, the first bare bottom (along with some other confusing stuff) was in _Bonnie and Clyde_.

All That Jazz. My parents and I were visiting one of their friends and I found if I turned the knob on the cable box a certain way, I could jump to a ‘safe’ channel and make it look like I was just changing channels. Nothing to see here. Move along.

My first post ever (been lurking for years) to say **Bachelor Party** , but a couple of the other posts here have made me wonder… did I see \*\*The Blue Lagoon \*\*before that or not? What about **Romeo & Juliet**? Not so sure anymore.  
But I saw BP in the 5th or 6th grade with a friend who I was spending the weekend with. Don’t remember much about it now, but I do remember that the naked chick is trying to get Tom Hanks to sleep with her before he gets married, and other faces/heads appear on hers trying to remind him why he shouldn’t. I just remember knowing from my buddy that there was nudity in this film and really just wanting to get to that part. VERY mature movie, I think, for a 12-year-old.

BTW, is it sad that I picked this thread for my first post ever?

**The Osterman Weekend**. My folks and aunt-and-uncle had something important they didn’t want to discuss in front of the kids, so we were shoved off to the local cinema. I remember my oldest cousin saying, “I wonder why this is rated ‘R’.” The movie started with a sex scene. “I guess that’s why.” My brother quipped.

And welcome to poster-ville, **BomTek**!

In the theater, mine was _10_. I was about twelve and bought a ticket for _When a Stranger Calls_ (also rated R) then sneaked over after that for an interesting double feature.

That was one of mine. I’m pretty sure I saw that before I saw the aforementioned Jenny Aggutter in a different film - Walkabout.

If we’re talking about just seeing women’s boobs, I wouldn’t be able to give an age. I thought ‘movie nudity’ meant more than just boobs. After all, I grew up in a family like many others in the UK that read the Sun every day, which had [Page Three Girls](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_Three_girls)- seeing boobs really was not a big deal.

And then I watched Nine and Half Weeks when Iwas Nine and a Half Years old. I remember noting the coincidence at the time.

Blue Lagoon was something a bit special, however.

Michael Corleone’s wedding night in **The Godfather**. Saw it at the drive-in with my parents. I don’t recall the name of the Italian actress, but she sure was beautiful.
