Re: Most shocking nude scenes in cinema
Something’s Gotta Give is certainly up there for surprising nudity. The Whole Nine Yards was also surprising just because of how they set it up, but it wasn’t shocking or anything.
Ha, my mom knows Craig Hosoda’s mom and mentioned the book years ago. I was interested but it would’ve felt weird to buy a copy.
I watched Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw free on Prime last month just before its contract ran out. I only heard about it because some nostalgia FB page posted a pic of Carter and all the pervs mentioned that movie… so I watched it. The scenes were worth watching the dumb movie for. I thought about mentioning it here but wasn’t sure what the right thread would be, as Last Movie I Watched seems like kind of a black hole.
Heh, I still have my copy that I bought back in 1993. I rented a lot of videos based on the book's er, recommendations (they even helpfully added time codes and exact descriptions of what was bared). When I first read in there that Jennifer Connelly was topless in The Hot Spot, and I found the film at the local video store, I felt like I had won the lottery or something.

Let The Right One In - while nothing sexual in and of itself, an underage girl that also crawls into bed with her underage co-star is kind of shocking to see in 2008. Damn good movie though.

The website for the Bare Facts book is still up. Doesn't appear to have been updated since 2006. Beware, though, it has frames, so you'll have to use Netscape instead of IE.
I won't post a link to the site since there is a topless image of Christina Ricci on one of the pages I clicked, but it should be too difficult for anyone to figure out.
Old sites like that that are still up but haven't been updated in more than a decade kind of fascinate me. It's almost like an archaeological dig.
The passage of time is a weird thing. The last update was in 2006, which doesn't seem that long ago to me, but it's like the difference between 1966 and 1982, or 1978 and 1994.

My Dad told me he saw Bobbi Joe at a drive in theater when it came out "those boobs were huge on that screen"

Affleck in Gone Girl. Not gratuitous or anything, just unexpected.

Speaking of Bare Facts and sleuths, remember those Celebrity Skin and Celebrity Sleuth magazines that had photos and film stills of nude celebrities? It was a different era.

In case anyone is unaware, there's an excellent site called Celebrity Movie Archive, where one can look at virtually any and every (female) nude scene in film history. I will refrain from linking it.

Two that I immediately thought of:
Helen Mirren in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover
Holly Hunter in David Cronenberg's Crash

I could have done without the closeup of Divine's diseased penis in Female Trouble, that's for sure.
