We've got a recent Oscar nominee, some late 80s and early 90s skin classics, and a weird hat trick waiting for you on April 22 in Movie Nudity History!
2016: Tale of Tales
Nominated for Best Foreign Language film at the 2015/16 Academy Awards, this bizarre French fairytale for grown-ups is truly unlike anything else you've ever seen! The first hint of skin comes just 16 minutes in when Catrinel MarlonGuenda Goria have a sapphic encounter in a carriage that Vincent Cassel just can't help but turn into a threesome!
Nine minutes later, Sabrina La TorreElizabeth Kinnear go nude as courtesans being kicked out of a palace after a party...
And finally, Stacy Martin bares her buns as the object of Cassel's unrequited desires just past the one-hour mark...
1994: Bad Girls
While the title of this cowgirl western might seem pretty straightforward, it turns out that Drew Barrymore is the only truly Bad Girl among the bunch as co-stars and fellow cowpokes Madeleine Stowe, Andie MacDowell, and Mary Stuart Masterson all keep covered up. At least Drew was on our side, baring her breasts in two different scenes and getting us all loaded and ready for a shoot-out!
1994: Brainscan
CD-Rom induced horror abounds in this quaint relic of the mid-90s, before we really knew what computers could and couldn't do. Edward Furlong stars as a tech savvy youngster who gets tricked by a malevolent spirit—conveniently named Trickster—into trying out a new virtual reality software in where he actually murders people for real. Or something. Amy Hargreaveslives across the street and, in true girl-across-the-street-in-a-horror-movie fashion, strips off her top while Furlong spies on her one night...
1994: Chasers
It seems like just last week—which it was—we were talking about a Dennis Hopper-directed flick, and here we are again this week! The film would end up being his seventh and final directorial effort as he never stepped behind the camera again before his death in 2010. Erika Eleniak plays a military prisoner being transferred under the supervision of a tough-as-nails Tom Berenger and a crooked but naive younger sailor played by William McNamara.
1988: Casual Sex?
Somewhat controversial in its day—at least for the inclusion of then-controversial comedian Andrew Dice Clay—this relationship comedy featured our first nude look at Lea Thompson since she played Marty McFly's mom in Back to the Futureand, more importantly, got Howard the Duck all horned up...
Before turning into an absolute lunatic, SNL star Victoria Jackson was quite the dish and is the first of three actresses to have done her one and only nude scene in a film released on this day 32 years ago!
1988: The Unholy
Ben Cross plays a young priest sent to a New Orleans parish whose last two priests were both found murdered. The problem is that the church is actually run by Satan in the form of the lovely Nicole Fortier! Luckily for us, she's not looking to go quietly—or clothedly—into that good night...
Something Wicked This Way Comes star Jill Carroll does her only nude scene here, the secondof threeactressesin films released on this day 32 years ago to have done so...
1988: White Mischief
This British import made its way Stateside on this day 32 years ago, setting a tale of excess and intrigue against the backdrop of a real-life crime. Greta Scacchi plays one of a group of wealthy Brits living in Kenya in the 1940s,one of whom—played by Charles Dance—ends up dead for all of his philandering behavior, including sleeping with other men's wives, like Scacchi. She is married to Joss Ackland—good old "diplomatic immunity" from Lethal Weapon 2—who of course becomes the prime suspect. Scacchi looks fantastic in the flick, stripping down to show off her beautiful body in her prime...
The film also features the late Jacqueline Pearce's one and only nude scene on film, closing the loop on that strange distinction held by these three lovely ladies...
1983: Exposed
Finally, on this day 37 years ago, now-cancelled director James Toback decided to work with Nastassja Kinski, just one year after directing her father in the crime flick Love and Money. Nastassja plays a naive Midwestern girl who is the object of the much older violinist Daniel's affection—Kinski certainly had a type in those days—and she eventually acquiesces to his stalking, going topless in bed with the character played by famed ballet dancerRudolf Nureyev...
