The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
(1:06) To distract home–invading bad guys, Amanda steps in front of them bare–chested. After shooting the thugs, she leans out a window to declare victory, and provides one more look at her luscious lovelies.
•Amanda’s sudden Whole Nine revelation is one of the all–time great “shock” nude scenes. Nobody saw it coming — or how hot she’d be in the buff!
•Prior to The Whole Nine Yards, Amanda was essentially an unknown. So here we witness a moment of skinstant stardom.
•For the sequel, The Whole Ten Yards (2004), Amanda kept her clothes on, and the movie bombed. Wonder why?

Body of Evidence (1993)
(1:08) The Material Girl gives herself a whirl, opening her robe to reveal her globes, then sticking fingers in her panties and licking them clean. Willem Dafoe looks on and then hops on.
•Body of Evidence was Hollywood’s first response to the success of Basic Instinct and Madonna’s follow–up to her photo book, Sex. It initially earned an NC-17 rating and required severe editing to be rated R.
•Madonna improvised her masturbation scene, along with one where she drips hot candle wax onto Willem Dafoe’s nipples.
•Body of Evidence inspired countless softcore imitators. Among the most obvious: Body of Influence (1993) starring Shannon Whirry.

Chained Heat (1983)
(0:31) In a prison shower surrounded by other naked inmates, busty “new fish” Linda Blair gets baited by lesbian big–house queen Sybil Danning, bringing four of the most illustrious D–cups in B–movies together in one A–plus scene.
•After the 1970s’ Women in Prison film craze, the genre’s greatest effort is right here, and this shower–room showdown is its greatest moment.
•John Vernon (Animal House’s Dean Wormer) portrays the warden. He and Linda lock horns again in Savage Streets (1984), where she plays a teen vigilante and he’s her high–school principal.
•Chained Heat is not to be confused with 1974’s Caged Heat. The latter film stars Erica Gavin and Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith, and was directed by Jonathan Demme, who would go on to helm Silence of the Lambs (1991).

Barb Wire (1996)
(0:03) On stage at a dance club, Pam’s mams heave so mightily under the strain of a leather dress and a downpour from a firehouse that they simply can’t be contained. They pop out, magnificently, into view.
•After Home Improvement and Baywatch, Pam hoped that Barb Wire would make her an A–list movie star. It didn’t happen, but Barb became a cable favorite.
•Barb’s box office may have been hurt by the availability of Pam naked in straight–to–tape potboilers such as Snapdragon (1993) and Naked Souls (1995).
•Pam’s ultimate exposure comes (literally) in the sex video Pam and Tommy Lee: Stolen Honeymoon, portions of which were shot on the set of Barb Wire.

(0:29) Topless Mädchen is splayed out in bed next to James Spader. She then gets up and walks to the bathroom, revealing butt and bush in the glorious process.
•Mädchen’s breakthrough role was Shelly Johnson on David Lynch’s cult TV classic Twin Peaks.
•Although Mädchen flashes muff in her nude debut Love, Cheat & Steal (1993), Dream Lover remains the only film in which she goes full–frontal — so far.
•In 2008, Mädchen mounted a small–screen comeback as Duchess Catherine Beaton on Gossip Girl. She also turned up on Californication and My Own Worst Enemy.

Personal Best (1982)
(0:33) Olympic runner Mariel full–frontally steams up the screen in a sauna surrounded by other naked female athletes. Among them is her lesbian lover, played with carnal conviction by Patrice Donnelly.
•In the era between shaggy Sapphic porn of the’70s and the same–sex Girls Gone Wild antics of today, Personal Best provided a rare, serious–minded peek into flexible female sexuality.
•Mariel trained relentlessly to portray a champion athlete in Personal Best, and then showed off the results in Playboy.
•A year later, Mariel returned to Playboy, radically altering her body again. This time she got breast implants to portray murdered Playmate Dorothy Stratten in Star 80.

•Alexis attended high school with Paz de la Huerta. In 2009, Paz appeared nude in The Limits of Control, directed by Broken Flowers creator Jim Jarmusch.

The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)
(0:29) Portraying the titular pin–up queen, Gretchen recreates one of Bettie’s celebrated cheesecake shoots by going au naturel out in the woods.
•Toweringly top–heavy Gretchen does not share the same body type as more petite pin–up powerhouse Bettie Page. Still, she conveys the icon’s exact erotic allure.
•Notorious director Mary Harron previously helmed American Psycho (2000), featuring Samantha Mathis, Cara Seymour, Krista Sutton, and Guinevere Turner nude.
•Naturally blonde Gretchen dyed her pubic hair black to portray Bettie. That’s the kind of method acting that Mr. Skin can really get behind — and in front of.
