Meatballs (1979)

The grandfather of all summer-camp movies, which basically invented all the tropes you'd later see in stuff like Camp Nowhere (1994) and Heavyweights (1995), Meatballs (1979) was the first starring film role for a then 29 year old Bill Murray. Collaborating with director Ivan Reitman a few years before they'd team up again for Stripes (1981) and Ghostbusters (1984), Murray plays Tripper Harrison, the head counselor at ramshackle Camp North Star. After pranking his fellow counselors by using the old, camp classic, move the mattress while they're sleeping trick, he notices a homesick kid named Rudy (Chris Makepeace) is attempting to run away. So, Tripper makes it his mission to make sure the kid stays in camp, and has the summer of his life. But what's really making everyone's summer a bummer is that the rich kids of Camp Mohawk are constantly harassing the Camp North Star crew. Luckily, egos are put on the line for the big Olympiad showdown between the rich kids and the camp full of scamps, and if you have even the slightest clue how these movies work, you can probably guess that Rudy will play a pivotal role in Camp North Star winning. The emotional high point of the film comes during Tripper's pep talk before the second day of the Olympiad competition with rival Camp Mohawk, with his famous refrain of "It just doesn't matter!" What matters to Mr. Skin is nudity, and despite the suggestive title, this one has a distinct lack of seat meat, rack of mam, or furburger. Nonetheless, Cindy Girling definitely gets our heads whirling when she goes canoeing with her boyfriend in a skimpy pink bikini. Kristine DeBell looks pretty good bending over in bikini bottoms as she pulls a boat to shore, and even Margot Pinvidic has a nicely nippy scene when she plays tennis without a sports bra. We'd love to go to camp, sneak off, shack up, and let the ladies of Meatballs meet our meat and balls!
