She may have made the world’s hair stand on end as little demon-possessed Regan in The Exorcist, but it was body parts located decidedly to the south of the scalp that got raised en masse when all-grown-up (and out) Linda Blair revealed her Satanically sexy nude body in Oui magazine, which hit newsstands on this date in 1982.

Skincidentally, 1982 is the same year that young Demi Moore also appeared fur-tastically nude in Oui.

After a tumultuous adolescence which included a sexual relationship with heartthrob rocker Rick Springfied (she was 15, he was 25), and starring in the gland-mark explicit TV movies Born Innocent and Sweet Hostage, Linda dared to bare in the pages of Oui as a sort of coming out -- of her clothes -- celebration.

Throughout the late 1980s, beloved Chicago film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert campaigned for a rating to replace the MPAA’s dreaded X which, at first, had been used to designate all manner of films containing patently adult content (such as the 1968 Best Picture Academy Award winner Midnight Cowboy).

In the wake of Deep Throat, however, the X-rating became synonymous with hardcore pornography. Siskel and Ebert led the charge for a new rating – they suggested “A” (for adult) – that could be applied to non-sexploitation films that were intended for audiences over the age of 17.

The MPAA ultimately concocted the NC-17 rating, which stands for No Children Under 17, and the first film to reach the public bearing its imprimatur was flesh-friendly director Philip Kaufman’s Henry & June, which opened in theaters on this date in 1990.

Henry & June stars Fred Ward and young Uma Thurman in the titular roles, as libertine author Henry Miller and his omnisexual gamine wife June. The story focuses specifically on their mutual sexual entanglements with erotic writer Anaïs Nin -- scorchingly embodied by Maria de Madeiros -- in 1920s Paris.

Uma and Maria explode in a lust-tastic lesbian scene, and the rest of the movie is chock full of naked nubiles (including Brigitte Lahaie) celebrating sexual freedom as they truly did – and as the NC-17 rating, finally, made possible. more…

One year after her iconic breakthrough as bisexual glitter goddess Crystal Connors in Showgirls, Gina Gershon went all the way to the lady-loving side opposite jugalicious Jennifer Tilly in Bound, which opened in theaters on this date in 1996.

Directed by The Wachowski Brothers, later of Matrix fame, Bound is a twisty, twisted thriller in which Mafia moll Jen falls for ultra sexy tough-girl lesbo Gina. Together they plot to make off with $2 million of mobster Joe Pantoliano’s money – but not until they make it with each other a lot first … and then after … and even during the grand scheme.

Bound is stylish and captivating, and it clearly announced the Wachowskis as filmmaking talents to watch. More skin-portantly, Bound also forever rendered Gina Gershon a Sapphic sex goddess (also see her skinteracial lust-fest with Shakara Ledard in Prey for Rock & Roll), and for many fans it provided the first revelation of Jennifer’s mighty, mighty suckle-sacks.

From the beginning, this movie was Bound for greatness. more…

After countless career ups and downs, maverick Hollywood auteur Robert Altman (M*A*S*H, Ready to Wear, Dr. T and the Women) released Short Cuts, his last great critically acclaimed hit -- and arguably his most towering naked celebrity triumph -- on this date in 1993.

Short Cuts adapts multiple short stories by esteemed writer Raymond Carver into a cross-section look at life in contemporary Los Angeles.

All that is well and artsy but what counts, and what puts Short Cuts on the short list of all-time great female nudity epics, is the unclothed work by Anne Archer, Frances McDormand, Lori Singer, and Madeline Stowe.

Topping it all off, though, is the bottomless blowout by Julianne Moore, in which she proves she’s a natural redhead for two uninterrupted, fantastically furry, flamingly pube-ilicious minutes of bare-crotch magnificence. Click the pic for an uncensored eyeful.

Short Cuts will leave you long where it counts. more…

His name literally translates as “Little Boots”, but Rome’s most notorious emperor and the Penthouse-magazine-produced film he inspired made an impact on popular culture and deviant sex that can only be described as massive and eternal.

And on this date in 2007, Caligula finally arrived on DVD in The Imperial Edition.

The exquisite release contained multiple versions of the movie, individual commentaries from stars Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren, an interview with director Tinto Brass, two making-of documentaries, hours of deleted scenes and alternate takes, trailers, hundreds of photographs, and superstar author Gore Vidal’s original screenplay.

For fans of this one-of-a-kind epic of the perverse, Caligula: The Imperial Edition was the answer to countless prayers offered up to the Roman gods of orgies, rape, incest, fisting, bestiality, Teresa Ann Savoy, and all manner of other indulgences. Long may it make togas rise. more…

Virtually from the moment the fighting stopped, erotic takes on World War II became a mainstay of cheap porn paperbacks and lowbrow sexploitation movies.

Those boundaries (among others) expanded with the heady, high-class art film The Night Porter, which opened in theaters on this date in 1974.

Charlotte Rampling stars as a concentration camp survivor who comes across Dirk Bogarde as the commandante who once kept her as a sexual slave. Now he’s working in the lowly job of the title at a Vienna Hotel.

Rather than turn her former Nazi tormentor in, though, Charlotte revives their kinky relationship, and The Night Porter pushes cinema into areas that are as uncomfortable as they are arousing.

Controversy flared up around The Night Porter upon its release. Three-decades-plus later, it continues to provoke thoughts both intellectual and … otherwise. more…

Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni revolutionized world cinema in 1960 with L’Avventura, the sensual story of a woman who disappears shot in a radically original style.

That same year, Antonioni also helmed La Notte, another remarkable success. It hardly seems a coincidence that both of these breakthroughs contained female nudity.

However, Antonioni truly broke open skinternational possibilities with the swinging London mystery Blow Up, which showcased name starlets -- Vanessa Redgrave and Jane Birkin, to be precise -- in amazing, taboo-shattering states of undress. The result was a critically hailed masterwork and global box-office blockbuster.
