I'm sure there are many examples of male stars who managed to keep their clothes on in their prime and youth but decided to let it all hang out in their older years. Among the more egregious examples are Marcello Mastroianni at age 48 in La Grande Bouffe, Albert Finney at 65 in the miniseries My Uncle Silas, and more recently, Franco Nero in The Time of Their Lives. Ok, so Nero has gone nude before, but never as graphically has he does here, at age 75. All of these guys definitely had more to offer at these ripe ages -- pounds and wrinkles, that is.
And just try to forget the infamous nude wrestling scene from Borat.
Feego, you forgot to mention the excised nude scene of Henry Jones in "The Bad Seed". Remember, he was sleeping on the excelsior and heard that little "tap, tap, tap" of her shoes coming down the incinerator and rushed over sans culottes and then the fire started and he tried to break down the down that Rhoda Penmark had locked from the outside. Henry Jones in the nude looks a lot like Tom Ewell in the nude, uh...from what I've heard!

The land whales in Nocturnal Animals (2016) are my nomination.
I've not seen this movie.
Would I like it and what is the porpoise of nude land whales in the plotline, CG?
Hey, I just noticed we have almost the same initials of CGJ, Joe but I promise you all, I am NOT Cigar Joe. He is much smarter and way more sophisticated than I. -

I don't suppose that George Costanza was involved, as well, was he, plucking a golf ball out of a blow hole?
Speaking of which, how's this for a demonstration of the male torso in its inspirational glory?
Oh, gosh I remember that! I wonder if it was in Kramer's coffee table book?

Well, ACTUALLY as I remember the episode, after Don Mitchell helps him out of the wheelchair and lays him on his beach blanket and then goes to get some french fries at a nearby snack shack, he returns to find Ironside gone.
He then later learns that some passersby thinking that they had stumbled across a large beached ocean mammal, had pushed Burr back out into the surf.
(...yeah yeah, I know that's an old joke, but HEY sometimes those old jokes just fit the occasion, ya know!)
Sure I marked the Laugh button, but what I should have said is:
"You guys need to stop!!!" -

AH! Now THIS reminds me of that one IRONSIDE episode where between solving crimes they wheel a shirtless Raymond Burr out to the sands of Half Moon Bay so he can even out his tan.
(...and no, this didn't happen either, Tom...thankfully)
Yeah, but there was one scene in the old "Perry Mason" show where Burr was forced to run on the beach, which was almost as scary to watch as if he'd done a nude scene.

Charles Laughton's nude scene in the aborted I, Claudius.
Okay, it didn't happen. Just thought I'd scare you all with that mental imagery, and make you appreciate the fact that no matter what naked horrors you may have seen on the screen, it could have been worse.
Whoa! I wonder if Elsa Lanchester would have approved of that. Hey, Derek Jacoby had no nude scenes as Claudius in the BBC production. I'm surprised they did not have some with Patrick Stewart back when he still had hair...

i thought Robert Altman's philosophy on nude scenes was reasonable. he said that a nude scene for one sex would be matched with a nude scene for the other sex in his movies. this may have led to some superfluous scenes, but at least they were brief. (no pun intended)
I think Altman also said in movies about undercover agents, nude scenes are obligatory!
Just kidding. Enjoyed your "brief" comments!
The word "brief" just reminded me of Glenn Close's nude scene, well almost complete nude scene in "Fatal Attraction" and I think hers was quite effective and nothing to be embarrassed about...

He also bared his behind in the PG-13 rated mamma Mia....
When it comes to PG-13 nudity though, i don't think that they come more memorable than Julie Warner's entrance in Doc Hollywood (1991), a scene that otherwise should not be mentioned in this thread dedicated to the worst.....
I missed that one in "Doc Hollywood". Should I be glad?

Maybe, maybe not. After ANN-MARGARET'S nude scene I forgot whatever happened next. OR before...
Sepiatone
I'm sure Elvis also forgot to watch Art, after watching Ann's scene. Didn't Jack Nicholson also do the covered bit after being in flagrante delicto in the bed with Ann?
Typical, typical, typical! -

Until TERRY BRADSAW'S pudge parade in FAILURE TO LAUNCH made me run for the Pepto, DABNEY COLEMAN's naked walk-off in MODERN PROBLEMS took top "honors" for me.
ECCCCHHH!
Sepiatone
I never caught that thing with Coleman, but he was such a cool guy with such comedic talents, that I probably would have enjoyed it. I'll have to look for that movie, Sepia! As for football star, Bradshaw, was he wearing a rug AND merkin in the scene, or only his toupee?

Well, okay, and I'm not sure the following might really fit CG's thread premise here, but just last week when TCM showed Deliverance again, I remembered thinking that when that backwoods hillbilly had Ned Beatty strip and was making him "squeal like a pig"......
Ahem, well, to put it mildly, Ned Beatty was never exactly an "Adonis" when it came to his physical appearance, ya know.
(...and heck for THAT matter, not even CLOSE to bein' a WARREN Beatty EITHER!!!)
I'm really surprised you mention that scene, Dargo since I thought maybe you'd seen some of the blue movies old Groucho did in the 1920's, before he went mainstream with his brothers. Minnie, I hear, was very upset and didn't want her progeny to be appearing in things with Lucille LeSieur that were racy, so Groucho's career as the Art Deco Harry Reems ended quickly. That scene with Ned Beatty was hard to watch, I gotta agree!

I think topless Andrews is the least creepy thing in that scene. And the movie really goes downhill in the third act.
It's not quite a nude scene, but I'd suggest Andy Devine doing a cannonball into a swimming pool in Island in the Sky.
Hilarious! The bit about Andy Devine I mean. Wasn't there a similar shocking nude scene in something like "The Monster Walks" or whatever with George Zucco jumping out of a window?

I have no objection to male nudity
We've seen enough of female nudity and near-nudity for decades. Turnabout is fair play.
I was going to read him the riot act, also, Christine but decided to be civil since he is. I will say that the one time I was so happy watching a movie, was during "Clockwork Orange" and they kept playing around with the bit of Malcolm MacDowell standing almost nude in front of the proverbial table with an obstruction covering you-know-what and moving it around, and then finally...Poof! It is gone and he is revealed, to the consternation of the majority of the male audience I was in. Like they'd never seen this kind of protuberance before in their life and were so shocked! It really did make me laugh...having seen about a million movies where the guy and girl are in bed, and she gets up totally nude to walk out of the room, and the guy pulls back the covers and is either wearing Jockey shorts or pulls the entire sheet around him as he exits the room. Hilarious! It's not that I really want to see any of these body parts particularly, I just want to enjoy seeing the male audience members freaking out!
I'm a sick person..I know it.-

the topless scene with sally kellerman in Brewster McCloud wasn't long enough.
Oh, yeah, she was sliding around in the shower or something. Didn't they pull the curtain on her or whatever? Well, now with Pause on your DVD player, you can revisit that scene, Nip!

John Karlen in Daughters of Darkness. After having met the guy, been out on a couple Dark Shadows locations with him, breakfasted and lunched with him, it was simply too much for me to watch this film.
I remember that! I own that film too, and love it. He was so great in "Dark Shadow" also. I can see how being friends with anyone who appeared in a nude scene could be disconcerting to watch again. That Delphine Seyrig was great in DOD, as the Bathory type character by the way.

I was going to say Harvey Keitel in The Piano, but dang. All you left me with was Graham Chapman in "Life of Brian".
That, and Julie Andrews in "S.O.B.", which you'd think you'd be curious about when you heard it, but...
I think you are right, Eric. Julie Andrews nude, still seemed PG! I own LOB and forgot about Chapman being nude. I'll need to rewatch it. Thanks!

The first Mondo style movie I ever saw was..."Mondo Cane". I remember it was directed by that Jacopetti guy and had fascinating supposedly realistic scenes which encompassed a Rudolph Valentino lookalike contest in Italy, baby chicks being dyed pastel colors for Easter, the skinning of a snake for consumption, wild tribal rites in obscure spots all over the globe, and a whole other bunch of things. Now don't get me wrong, I was about fourteen but even I knew that this film was not really a documentary and was staged quite a bit, but the advertising campaign kept reiterating the veracity of the scenes in the movie.
This film came out in 1963 and besides the graphic and sometimes outrageous hyperbole, was a trendsetter and also renowned for winning the the Oscar for best song of the year, with "More". What was to follow, was a plethora of similar films with titles like "Mondo Hollywood", "Mondo Magic" and some with even more sexual content like those of Russ Meyer with his "Mondo T_pl_ss". I'll let you figure that out but it was not about not owning tap shoes for your dance class.
Later the odious "Faces of Death" series came out in the late seventies, comprised of scenes with poor little monkeys being queued up for hors d'oeuvres and people committing suicide on air, as I recall. This type of schockumentary has its moments so if you've seen some and have an opinion, good or bad, please share.I did enjoy the mondo style documentary with Jaynie, that's Jayne Mansfield in obviously "The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield" which I own. T'is true that most of these exploitation bonanzas should be filed in the crapola section but it is still an interesting genre to discuss, as to its antecedents and after effects.

LawrenceA, I also go way back to the beginning with my fondness for Cronenberg and his "body" horror. So original and visceral. Love it. THEY CAME FROM WITHIN is one of my favorite horrors. TCM needs to run it. They've run RABID, SCANNERS and THE BROOD so I would love it if they'd run it plus the uncut DEAD RINGERS and CRASH.
Sepiatone, I liked THE DEAD ZONE and thought it was one of the better King adaptations. Christopher Walken was excellent. The only thing I didn't like was Martin Sheen's southern accent. If I remember correctly, the story takes place in Maine or somewhere in New England, for heaven's sake (I know he's running for President so he could be from anywhere, but still it bugs me).
CaveGirl, Thank you for your comments and for introducing the topic.
Love "The Brood"! Glad to see another female who likes Cronenberg, Christine.

I've seen Seven Beauties. That's a very good film.
I'm not particularly fond of the "Nazi-sploitation" genre of which the Ilsa films are said to be the "crown jewels", and from what I've been led to believe, they will be trashy garbage for the most part (that's not always a bad thing). It's more of a matter of having read about them in various books over the years and not being able see them. I recall when I first joined Netflix many years ago, during the disc-by-mail only period, I had the Ilsa movies in my queue, but before they came up for delivery, all of them were reported "damaged" and never replaced. Plus I've read about various editions being released, but that one or more of the titles have been heavily edited, which I have no desire to see.
I've also not yet seen The Night Porter.
Okay, you just read my mind because I was going to suggest "The Night Porter". Didn't it have Dirk Bogarde in it? I own it so should know this. Great movie. Well, concerning the "Ilsa" series, I'm sure I have just recently seen it in some film catalogues I've been getting from either TCM, Movies Unlimited, or a few other places. That's what reminded me about the series being still around. And yes, it is trashy...but in terms of exploitation oddities definitely a must see!
Just checked...Movies Unlimited is selling "Ilsa: The Wicked Warden" and "Ilsa; Keeper of Oil Sheiks" from the late 70's in their online catalogue. -

There are the few remaining Oscar nominated movies that I haven't seen, like East Lynne (1931), The White Parade (1934), and They Knew What They Wanted (1940).
Or any of the 1001 Movies to See entries that I haven't gotten around to, including the aforementioned The Traveling Players.
But I'd settle for uncensored versions of the Ilsa movies.
You're bad! If you can't have "Ilsa" films [which I also have been thinking about ordering lately since it is an interesting genre] would you settle for Shirley Stoler as the mean Nazi guard in Wertmuller's "Seven Beauties" with Giancarlo Gianini being tortured by her avoir du pois?

This Angry Age on the big screen, perfectly restored in glorious Technicolor and the correct screen ratio. I've only seen it in a mostly black & white and panned & scanned version on YouTube. A great cast and a great director.
A Time To Love and a Time To Die on the big screen and the correct screen ratio. This looked good seen panned & scanned on YouTube, so to see it the way Douglas Sirk intended would be even better.
The Passionate Thief either on the big screen or on TCM, so that more people could see it. Thanks to Bogie, I saw this on a website which no longer exists. Anna Magnani turns out to be a superb comic actress, and this great Italian comedy, which also stars Toto and Ben Gazzara, also is a very beautiful black & white film. If only more people could see it.
Mm, CaveGirl, maybe I shouldn't admit that I really do not like Au hasard, Balthazar. I did admire the intelligence and acting ability of the donkey, as opposed to the human non-actors.
I can totally understand not liking "AHB". It is really a hard movie to watch. Thanks for your other fine choices!

Much as I love the films of Luis Bunuel, I actually prefer the Von Sternberg/Dietrich film The Devil Is a Woman (screenplay by John Dos Passos) to Bunuel's That Obscure Object of Desire. They are based on the same story: "The Woman and the Puppet," by Pierre Louys.
In terms of obscure films that I am longing to see, Ingagi (1930) would be on the list. Definitely pre-code, and definitely would never be shown on TCM! (I have seen the unrelated Son of Ingagi.)
OMG! I read about that "Ingagi" movie years ago in some strange movie book I had, and also have been salivating to see it to no avail also. I bet you loved Dietrich in her gorilla suit in "Blonde Venus" also. Sternberg sure knew how to showcase her in his films with amazing iconic images. I personally also have an addiction to jungle pictures and particularly ones with gorillas in them, of any quality. Thanks!

Wow! I sure would like to see that Tommy Wiseau film. He reminds me a lot of the guy who was lead singer in the group, the Mysterians who was called Question Mark. The hair style or bad wig also looks like he should be imitating W.C. Fields saying "Ain't a fit night out for man nor beast" with snow hitting him in the face.
