Most shocking/surprising example of nudity in a movie?

[phillybri]

I'll go with Katie Holmes in "The Gift".

One minute, she's everybody's next door neighboor.

Next minute she's topless for a good 45 seconds....

Just staggering...:crazy:

[Not Me]

1. Mark Wahlberg at the very end of "Boogie Nights"

The whole movie was a tease...and then in the last scene you got the full frontal shot.

[JVS]

5. With fake plastic phallus

[Pale Blue Dot]

2. Harvey Keitel in "The Piano"

If I never have to see the little Keitel again it will be too soon.

[StClone]

3. The one I want to see is

Sharon Stone in that hot scene. Where is it available uncut?

[Speck Tater]

4. Julie Andrews in S.O.B.

Who ever expected to see Julie Andrews' boobies on the big screen?

[madrchsod]

6. just going to say that-really

shocked me..my my ,merry popkins has boobs under those clothes

[JVS]

9. Awesome!

[Westegg]

37. "And...we're out of vodka!"

[XNASA]

7. Mary Steenbergen - "Life As a House"

Mary in the sack with a guy 20 years her junior and .......... a shot of her running throught the house au natural.

I was surprised. But pleased.

[lanparty]

8. Nudity is completely unshocking ...

People are people. I find absoluetly NOTHING shocking about nudity.

[phillybri]

14. Obviously, you never saw "The Shining"...

:scared:

[JohnKleeb]

16. oh god

that was disturbing. For me, well it wasnt really nudity but it flat out scared me, I am already afraid of Wilem Dafoe as is, then I finally see Boondock Saints btw good movie but Dafoe has a scene where he does drag, that scared me :scared: and the shining scene too.

[indigobusiness]

33. Yep...Can't top The Shining

for shocking nude scene.

[pbg]

10. Isabella Rossellini in Blue Velvet

When she shows up naked in the middle of the scene where Laura Dern is being comforted...one of the most jarring uses of nudity I've ever seen.

[Westegg]

41. Good call, pbg. Another brilliant mind-f*ck from Lynch...

The man knows what's disturbing, for sure.

"He put his disease in me!" Stunning scene. Great film.

[LisaM]

11. Wasn't Florence Henderson topless in that movie about clowns?

Also, the scene in "A Room With a View" where ALL the men were nude!

[phillybri]

13. God, I hope not...

:puke:

[pagerbear]

12. kd lang in Salmonberries

Also Melanie Griffith vacuuming nekked in Working Girl

[arbusto_baboso]

15. You want shocking? How 'bout any movie where Helen Mirren does NOT

get naked?

I swear, that woman loses her kit at the drop of a hat.

[Lavender Brown]

19. She doesn't in Gosford Park

That would have been shocking.

[arbusto_baboso]

20. well, it's becoming less frequent as she gets older...

but if you watch her earlier stuff, you'd swear that she spent more time on the screen topless than she did clothed.

It's even kind of a joke amongst Brits that if you need an actress to strip down, you call Helen Mirren.

[Lavender Brown]

21. Oh yeah...She WAS in that movie about the group of older women

who stripped for a charity calendar.

[Susang]

43. Who cares?

You seem to suggest that her choices are somehow less than desirable, when in fact, she's been in more of the most critically acclaimmed theatre and cinema than almost any other actress currently working. She's also devoted to liberal causes, working for Action Aid, an organization that works to end the Asian sex slave industry, and with Oxfam in their fight to end arms sales to Africa. http://www.helenmirren.com/causes.htm

As she is a brilliant actress and has played just as many roles that didn't require nudity. I'm more impressed with her willingness to go without makeup or special lighting for the groundbreaking BBC television show Prime Suspect. How many Hollywood actresses would do the same?

From an online bio:
Her nudity was controversial, of course, but more importantly, wherever she went, the debate over female empowerment and sexual justice raged. Of her Lady Macbeth in 1974, it was written "It would be mere male chauvinism to deny that Miss Mirren plays everyone else off the stage". She was a sexual PIONEER, and as such she suffered the smutty comments of those whose seedy attitudes she sought to alter.

17. Kathy Bates in "About Schmidt"

It's interesting how we can be completely desenisitised to 'perfect' Hollywood bodies, but can be shocked by half a second of a 'real' middle-aged body.

First runner-up would have to be Lloyd Bridges' flabby butt in "Saturn 3". The rest of that year was tainted as a result of that moment.

[nini]

22. I really admired her for doing that part.

more people look like her than not as you get older. Shouldn't be a big deal to anyone.


Love yourself the way you are and live life!

[CanuckAmok]

28. Me too, but I still think...

...it was the role Suzanne Sommers was born to play.

[soleft]

29. Kathy Bates in "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" - even more gutsy

[skypilot]

18. Mary Tyler Moore...

...in "Flirting with Disaster". She wasn't actually naked, just in her bra and panties, but it was a scene where she was wrapping up giving a guy a blowjob. MARY FUCKING TYLER MOORE!!!

[Guy Fawkes]

23. The introduction of Mark in "28 Days Later"

I don't know *what* the producers were thinking. Most people, however, go to a zombie movie for zombies, not naked bicycle delivery boys.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

49. Hey now!

I enjoyed that scene, thankyouverymuch!

[SPQR]

24. Saddam Hussein

whipping it out in the South Park movie. Literal gasps from the entire audience (a South Park audience, gasping!) and then explosive laughter.

[JohnKleeb]

25. ahh christ dude the sausage thing

That was flat out wrong, Satan naked was pretty messed up too.

[terrya]

26. Harvey Keitel in "The Piano"

[Tracer]

27. Guillaume Depardieu (Gerard's son) in ...

... Touts les Matins du Monde.

There was a shot of him frolicking (ahem) in the sack with some girl and the camera moved to the end of the bed and the movie audience was treated to a shot of his bum with his testicles flopping in the breeze.

Then (in the same movie) the girl gets out of bed and swings her legs up and out in a totally gratuitous shot of her privates.

P.S. This was NOT a porn movie ... just a French one.

[eyesroll]

30. 50 ugly naked guys in "Eurotrip"

I'm not exactly disturbed by nudity, but that was, by far, the most full-frontal male nudity I've ever seen in one place, movie or otherwise. The scene had its intended effect on me.

[pbg]

45. More than "Braveheart?"

I loved that scene--a true understanding of the Scots character--

[DS1]

31. Three big titties in Total Recall

:evilgrin:

[hunter]

48. That just wasn't right.

Nothing about that movie was right. You can't put three titties in a row like that, we are mammals after all, and titties always come in pairs. That goes way back in the gene pool.

Four titties, an upper pair, and a lower pair, that would have been realistic.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

32. The wrestling scene in Women in Love

It was shocking for its time--and an example of ingenious camera work, since you never actually see any of the er, naughty bits, even though the two guys are completely naked and rolling around on the floor.

[TrustingDog]

34. The Crying Game....

sure didn't expect that. great movie, btw.

[flamingyouth]

35. Ewan McGregor in "Velvet Goldmine"

Hello....:wow:

[underpants]

36. Trainspotting too

He seems very comfortable with flashing his pecker on the big screen.

[flamingyouth]

38. Yes, er, big screen indeed

[GCP]

46. Try "The Pillow Book" if you want to see Ewan in all his glory

His father saw it and told him he was glad Ewan had taken after him down there!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

39. Kevin's Bacon in 'Wild Things'

I have no objection to full frontal nudity for men or women, but it is pretty rare in American cinema for men, so I was surprised.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

40. "Angels and Insects"

The scene where the incestuous sister and brother are having sex and the husband of the sister walks in on them.

Yes, it's shocking the siblings are supposed to be having sex.

Yes, it's shocking we see the brother in full frontal nudity.

But what was really shocking was the brother was sporting a full-on erection.

:wow:

Right there for all to see.

I did a complete doubletake, cause I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

42. Me in 'The Little Mermaid'.

Certainly was surprising.

[JohnKleeb]

47. haha are ya think what I am thinkin

[sangh0]

44. Mike Myers, the Canadien comic from SNL

He's in some movie where he gets the girl, and there's a shot of his butt. I really didn't need to see that. Totally gratuitious.

[ChoralScholar]

50. Will Ferrell in Old School,

also the K-Y Wrestling girls from the same movie.
