A Skintroduction to Mr Skin's Man in the Feels

Editor's Note: McBeardo is Mr Skin’s resident sexpert on weird, cult, fringe, midnight, underground and/or any other extreme form of skinema.

He reports from the frontlines and backrooms of most skintimidating screening halls on the planet – not the least of which is the place where he keeps his couch.

The opinions of McBeardo are not necessarily those of Mr Skin, MrSkin.com, or any related affiliates. The ideas as to what constitutes a “wild time” are definitely not Mr Skin’s, period.

Yugoslavian filmmaker Dusan Makavejev achieved critical acclaim with his first few complex, artful films in the 1960s, and then found his work banned in his homeland upon making the explicit international hit WR: Mysteries of the Organism.

Fleeing his Communist-controlled county, Makavejev followed up WR with his pivotal skinematic triumph -- the literally heady psychedelic sex-and-mess-fest Sweet Movie, which sugar-shocked theaters for the first time on this date in 1974.

Number 26: Mathilda May

Few scream queens can boast a more auspicious nude debut than French dish Mathilda May who burst onto the big screen bare boobs-butt-and-bush-first in terror maven Tobe Hooper’s 1985 space vampire opus, Lifeforce.

As the bloodsucking aliens’ eye-popping emissary to Earth -- named, simply, “Space Girl” -- Mathilda marches naked through her every moment in Lifeforce, paralyzing her victims with the sheer stupefying power of her sumptuous naked body before sinking her fangs into their most tender of areas.

Although Mathilda never returned to the fright genre after Lifeforce, her immediate impact still resonates in the annals of horror, and she will be forever hailed as one the most indelible sirens in all of frightdom.

Mathilda also went on to a brilliant career in the buff, busting out that mesmerizing naked physique 10 more times. Ready yourself for blast-off. Click the pic to see Mathilda May fully nude. 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…

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.

In 1992, Basic Instinct Grabbed Audiences by the Short Hairs. It Still Hasn’t Let Go.

Before Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone was just another gorgeous (and talented) Hollywood blonde.

Upon the release of the kinky thriller -- and, more specifically, the revelation of the natural blondeness between her luscious legs -- Sharon Stone became an immediate Tinseltown sex goddess on par with cinema history’s hottest and most enduring eyefuls.

Join Mr. Skin, now, in a salute to Sharon and Basic Instinct. Just ease back, press play, and feel free to cross and uncross your legs. more…

It is the best of films, it is the breast of films.

And the world got its first look at the ultimate orgiastic, over-the-topless, absolutely skinsane NC-17-rated masterpiece (of ass) that we all know and worship as Showgirls on this date in 1995.

Ridiculously smeared as “the worst movie ever made” upon its release, this volcanically energetic, neon-sopped saga of a criminally insane exotic dancer’s ruthless rise to Queen of the Las Vegas Strip was immediately championed by adventurous film skin-thusiasts and nurtured into an enduring cult classic.

The general public caught on once Showgirls hit video and, today, the movie is hailed by even the snootiest critics as a brilliant, hyper-kinetic pop-art opus courtesy of visionary Dutch director Paul Verhoeven.

Showgirls is Mr. Skin’s single favorite film of all time. Come watch a clip of Elizabeth Berkley administering human history’s most explosive lap dance while her bisexual rival, Gina Gershon, leers on. Leave your inhibitions at the door. The show begins right after the jump. more…

There was a time before the world saw and fell in love with Maggie Gyllenhaal nude. And there’s everything that’s happened since then. The dividing line is marked by the release of the ultra-kinky cult sensation Secretary -- which opened in theaters on this date in 2002.

Secretary deservedly made a skinstant star of Maggie Gyllenhaal, who brilliantly embodies the titular figure-- a submissive office assistant to domineering lawyer James Spader. Their relationship evolves into full-blown S&M sex-mania, while an undercurrent of true passion and a believable love story makes the movie a one-of-a-kind classic.

Maggie Gyllenhaal has since gone on to bare her lusciously lanky naked body in Strip Search, Happy Endings, and Sherrybaby. But it all began with Secretary. Press play to watch Mr. Skin’s Skinstant Classic salute. more…
