It's been a while since we've gotten a film released with nudity on the penultimate Friday in July, but the 80s and 90s held some skin treasures! Let's look back on the best movies released on July 24th in movie nudity history!

1998: Disturbing Behavior

This teen-centric drama co-starring Katie Holmes didn't exactly set the box office on fire on this day 21 years ago, but it did feature some great skin, both in its initial theatrical release and on home video! Crystal Cass whips out her left breast 46 minutes into the film, providing the theatrically released film with its only nudity...

The film was released on home video in the nascent days of DVD, so it was jam-packed with special features, including a deleted scene where Katie Holmes gets it on with James Marsden and her left nipple briefly comes into the frame...

1998: Western

Also released in North America on this day 21 years ago is this Frenchroad trip comedy with some great nudity! We get brief full frontal from the vivacious Vanina Delannoy an hour and seventeen minutes into the flick...

Long before that, at the 27 minute mark, Élisabeth Vitali flashes her fun bags in bed with the main character...

And the film wraps up with him laying in bed with Marie Matheron, baring her beautiful buns in the film's final scene...

1987: La Bamba

The late Ritchie Valens got the biopic treatment on this day 32 years ago, and the film is one of those rare PG-13 flicks with topless nudity! It comes early in the film, courtesy of the late, great Elizabeth Peña, when Ritchie spies on her showering in the town square!

1981: Blow Out

My second favorite Brian De Palma film from his golden age—second only to Phantom of the Paradise—hit theaters on this day 38 years ago! While the technology in the film is dated now, the film itself is every bit as fresh and vital as it was nearly 40 years ago! The film opens with a film-within-a-film POV shot of a creep stalking girls outside of a dorm. He first peeks in on Cindy ManionMissy O’Shea dancing and flaunting their breasts...

The killer eventually makes his way to the shower, where he pulls back the curtain on Missy Cleveland, who lets out a hilariously awful scream which sends a never-better John Travolta on a quest to get new sounds for the film...

Finally, we get a brief look at Nancy Allen's left nipple in some blackmail photos of her in bed with the governor...

1981: Tarzan the Ape Man

Bo Derek's second film with her director/husband John Derek was this sexy retelling of the Tarzan legend that packed in as much skin as you can handle! Sadly, it's about the only thing this abysmal movie has going for it, as the film has not aged well. Bo Derek is a timeless beauty, however, and her many nude scenes in the film are worth checking out here on Mr. Skin!

1981: Eye of the Needle

Finally, on this day 38 years ago came this adaptation of Ken Follett's novel of the same name about a British spy (Donald Sutherland) stationed in Germany during WWII. The film is notable for two reasons, first for being the last film made by British director Richard Marquand before he signed on to direct Return of the Jedi. The second reason is all the knockout nudity fromCanadian beautyKate Nelligan, who goes nude a couple of times in the film!
