Films Turning 5
Ammonite
Even five years later, the A-list lesbian face-sitting scene between Saoirse Ronan and Kate Winslet is still one of our favorite period nude scenes, period.
****
365 Days
The provocative Polish film that took Mr. Skin by storm in 2020 thanks to Anna Maria Sieklucka and her succulent sucklers is also joining the five-year club this year!
****
Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies
We also had to mention that the documentary about film nudity executive produced by the one and only Mr. Skin also came out five years ago. So much has happened since then, perhaps it’s time for a sequel?
****
Other Notables: Black Bear, The Burnt Orange Heresy, Hauru
Films Turning 10
Fifty Shades of Grey
Hard to believe it’s been a whole decade since this spicy BDSM fantasy that had moms enraptured everywhere became a big-screen blockbuster.
****
Ex Machina
Alex Garland’s Oscar-winning directorial debut was released in the US ten years ago, meaning it’s been ten years since we first saw Alicia Vikander, Sonoya Muzino, and more delivering full frontal as sexy, lifelike robots.
****
Other Notables: Carol, A Bigger Splash, Straight Outta Compton, 7 Days in Hell
Films Turning 15
Love Other Drugs
Even after fifteen years, these amazing Anne Hathaway nude scenes are still the ultimate cure-all.
****
Hot Tub Time Machine
One of the best raunchy comedies in recent memory (if you consider 2010 recent), with both Mad Men’s Jessica Paré and Crystal Lowe letting their jugs out.
****
Other Notables: Chloe, Black Swan, The Kids Are All Right
Films Turning 20
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
This is the Judd Apatow bro-medy that started it all, and the unrated version is even crazier, especially with headline-making porn star Stormy Daniels among its breast appearances.
****
Sin City
The film adaptation of Frank Miller’s famous noirish graphic novel is twenty years old this year, boasting a stacked cast of the era’s sexiest celebs, two of which - Carla Gugino and Jaime King - go topless.
****
Other Notables: The Notorious Bettie Page, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, A History of Violence
Films Turning 25
Requiem for a Dream
Mark 2025 down as a quarter of a century since “ass to ass” became one of the most memorable quotes in skinema-history, and when former Labyrinth star Jennifer Connelly went bottomless playing a drug addict.
****
American Psycho
The turn of the century also brought us this iconic thriller where, to paraphrase Huey Lewis and the News, it’s hip to be bare.
****
Other Notables: Almost Famous, The Gift, High Fidelity
Films Turning 30
Showgirls
Who knew we’d still be talking about this Paul Verhoeven flop a full thirty years later? Anyone who’s ever seen it probably, because it’s just that absurd - and absolutely overflowing with sin-sational skin.
****
Desperado
Yep, it’s been thirty years since one of the hottest women on the planet made her undressed debut and every single one of us is better off for it. Seeing Salma Hayek nude for the first time should be marked with an international holiday!
****
Other Notables: Species, Kids, Hackers, Leaving Las Vegas
Films Turning 40
Just One of the Guys
One of the best breast reveals of all time happened in 1985, and though after forty years it still may not be as revered an 80s comedy as Fast Times or Caddyshack, we at Skin Central want to give Joyce Hyser’s juicy melons their props.
****
Re-Animator
It’s become a cult classic horror over the last two decades, thanks in no small part to Scream Queen Barbara Crampton’s naked curves.
****
Other Notables: Weird Science, Fright Night, Life Force
Films Turning 50
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
No film has an incredible track record of endurance throughout the years like this crazy musical indie film. It’s not just a film, it’s a phenomenon!
****
Jaws
In 1975, the world got its very first blockbuster in the form of this oceanic thriller, and cinema has never been the same since. It’s a shame that Susan Backlinie, the nude swimmer in the film’s opening, died just before being able to see it reach fifty years of fright.
