Is it worth a blind purchase?

Nudity? What is it with you and the nudity?

Anyway, to answer... yes. Melinda Dillon is naked for what seems like an eternity, and then you see Michael Ontkean's bare ass for what also seems like an eternity.

LOL....he's a man after my own heart.

The Melinda Dillon scene does go on for a while. It's actually just from the waist up but for a woman who's never been mentioned for anything remotely sexual (she was the mom from Christmas Story and the mom from Close Encounters of the Third Kind if you can't place her) she has a pair of the most perfect breasts I've ever seen in my life.

Ok...enough of that. The movie is truly excellent. Directed by George Roy Hill, it's raunchy but clever, with a terrific and enthusiatic performance by Paul Newman. One of his best and most underrated performances, IMHO. Michael Ontkean (Sheriff Truman from Twin Peaks) and Lindsay Crouse are also very good in early roles. It also has a nice soundtrack filled with catchy era music. Great, great fun.

I agree...Slap Shot is a sure-fire winner. I haven't picked up the new DVD just yet, but will soon.

She would make the Top 10 in a Best Breasts on Screen poll.

Now, take her scene from Slap Shot and dub in the "Piggy" dialogue from A Christmas Story and you've got yourself quite a scene.

I know i'm in the minority here but I didn't think this movie was that great. I seen it as a kid and remember it being funny. When I picked up the DVD and watched it, it just wasn't the same so I ebayed it. The Hanson Brothers are the only funny thing in the movie. IMHO of course.
