It’s easy to tell when you’ve met a fellow fan of this great forgotten ’80s teen sex comedy. Just mention strip bowling or the sacred name Purity Busch. After all, anyone who’s seen the film knows that Screwballs (1983) is the essential epic of horny high-school kids stuck in the early 1960s. The young male adults of T&A High are dedicated to getting into the pants of Miss Busch, renowned as the only virgin left in the high school. And if that sounds hard to believe, you’ll change your mind after you see how quick the other girls are to shed their clothes, including Jennifer Inch and Linda Shayne—not to mention the mature Raven De La Croix.

Anyone who walked into a video store in the '80s remembers the boxcover of the teen sex comedy classic Screwballs. A busty cartoon blonde attempts to escape the clutches of her horny pursuer, his hand pulling her bra strap so that her bouncing boobs nearly pop free of their cotton prison.

As evocative as that cover was, it doesn't even begin to cover the hilarity--and, of course, hall of fame nudity from Linda Speciale, Raven de la Croix et al--in Screwballs.

Our pals at Severin films have at long last released this treasure on DVD (and it will be out on Blu Ray September 29th!) and were kind enough to ask Mr. Skin to talk about the film, one of his all-time favorites, in the special features.

Check it out!

Mr. Skin’s DVD Pick of the Week

The Informers (2009)
STUDIO: Sony
NUDE: Amber Heard (breasts, butt) (Picture)
Based on the 1994 short story collection by Brett Easton Ellis and not the 1993 single by Canadian reggae artist Snow, the '80s flashback The Informers (2009) features an ensemble cast including Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Winona Ryder, Amber Heard, and Mickey Rourke. Using loosely connected narratives, the film paints a picture of sex, drugs, immorality, and decadence in Los Angeles. There are plenty of girls in bikinis, some full-frontal nudity from an unknown actress, and nice T&A from Amber in a kinky group sex scene with two guys and a girl. The Informers? They should have called this one The Skin-formers!

Every generation, it happens. One lascivious book makes its way into the mainstream and is picked up by even the most staid and uptight of people. And then one day, their children, casually browsing Mom and Dad’s bookshelf, come across the book, with its creased and worn spine, and pick it up for a quick thumb-through. And immediately the pimply pubescents are ushered into a magical new world filled with thoughts of flesh and boners.

Years come, years go. So as 2007 fades into the new horizons of 2008, let's be freshly grateful, then, that flesh on film lasts forever. The past twelve months have provided a bumper crop of delectable actresses unveiling themselves on DVD.
