Girls in
Spring Break (1983)

Phoebe Cates’s other great ’80s teen sex comedy also

features Saw babe Betsy Russell, scream queen Brinke Stevens, and loads of sexy surprises.

If summertime 1982 served as cherry-popping Ground Zero for the decade’s teen sex comedy phenomenon—and seeing as it contained the premieres of Porky's, The Last American Virgin, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, it did—then the subsequent swelter season’s Private School (1983) was the first direct fallout. And what a gloriously radiant after-effect it is.

To be sure, a spate of raunchy teen farces did rush into theaters during the ’82-’83 school year—among them: The Beach Girls, Homework, Joysticks, Losin’ It, Goin’ All the Way, My Tutor, Pink Motel, Spring Break, (the mighty) Screwballs, and (the also mighty) Zapped!

But Private School represented Hollywood’s first full-scale attempt to concoct an all-out teen sex comedy blockbuster, calculatedly combining familiar genre tropes (nerds, jocks, nudity-producing pranks, cross-dressing one’s way into the girls’ shower room, etc.), and then adding Phoebe Cates—the naked girl from Fast Times—up on top like a beautiful, brown-nippled bow.

The Last House on the Left (2009)—Blu-Ray
STUDIO: Universal
NUDE: Riki Lindhome (breasts), Sara Paxton (butt)
The Last House on the Left (2009) is a remake of Wes Craven's notorious 1972 exploitation film of the same name, itself a purported remake of Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring (1960). When her parents (Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potts) take her to their lake house on vacation, young Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) quickly ditches them to hang out with her free-spirited friend Paige (Martha MacIsaac). Soon the two girls find themselves smoking pot in a hotel room with seemingly harmless and shy Justin (Spencer Treat Clark) when his escaped-convict father Krug (Garret Dillahunt) comes back unexpectedly, accompanied by Justin's uncle Francis (Aaron Paul) and Krug’s girlfriend Sadie (Riki Lindhome).
