Nudity And Nude Scenes In Movies An

This group is for all those who love seeing nudity on film or TV, either seeing actors and actresses naked or group scenes of nudity. There is often a sexual component to much film nudity. This is about the nudity and body exposure or natural expression of nudity, rather than the sexual intent. It's for a discussion on how nudity in films might have influenced their own views on the naked...

Surprising Nude Scene

Return to Discussions

Have you ever been watching a film or television series where a nude scene shows up and kind of takes you by surprise? Or have you been watching something and an actor you never expected to see nude shows up in a scene? I am just trying to think of some and a couple come to mind. Sir John Gielgud is briefly nude as a British Jew sent to a death camp in The Winds of War. Mel Gibson has that brief skinnydipping scene in Gallipoli. I love that the men are nude in that scene as the bullets rain down on them under water. Their human vulnerability and the horror of war is given more power by them being naked. It's so interesting that we don't see Janet Leigh completely nude in the Psycho shower scene, yet we know she's nude and the shower and suggestion of nudity is highly effective even without total exposure.

The latest Emma movie contains an unexpected nude scene involving one of the main characters. It's great to see nudity becoming more normalised in mainstream movies.

That is one of several male nudity scenes in PG13 movies that have annoyed my very modest wife.
I jokingly said that if she watched more R rated movies she would probably get a different view.
She didn't appreciated the humor.

In the movie Wild Things Kevin Bacon steps out of the shower and we see him full frontal. That was nudity I didn't expect as it didn't contribute anything to the story... but it was a pleasant surprise though :D
