Mid-June has been a time for counter-programming in the last few years, but in days of old, there were blockbuster movies with nudity in them released on June 12 in Movie Nudity History!
2015: Madame Bovary
Mia Wasikowska steps into the title role in this umpteenth adaptation of Flaubert's famous novel, but she delivers a key ingredient missing from other adaptations: Skin! While sleeping with one of her lovers on the floor, we get a nice look at Mia's right breast backlit by the roaring fire...
During another sex scene, this time with Ezra Miller, we get a look at Mia's left breast when she takes off her gown while riding Miller in bed...
2009: The Last International Playboy
This indie dramedy, also known as Frost, has the best kind of nudity a movie can have... opening credits nudity! There's nothing better than knowing that you can turn a movie off immediately following the opening credits, safe in the knowledge that you haven't missed any skin! The film's opening credits features a montage of our main character partying with various naked women, including Lydia Hearst and Jessica Gomes!
1998: Cousin Bette
Broadway director Des McAnuff stepped behind the camera for the first time to bring us this period romantic dramedy starring Jessica Lange and a very skinsational Elisabeth Shue! 26 minutes into the film, we see Shue performing in a stage play, dressed as an angel, before turning around to reveal her bare ass...
Nearly an hour later, Shue poses for a sculptor, becoming enraptured with his words describing her beauty while we're enraptured with the sight of her bare breasts...
The film closes with another bare-assed reveal as Shue and a number of her co-stars are dressed in nun habits before turning around to reveal they're going commando under those robes...
1998: High Art
Also on this day 21 years ago, Ally Sheedy made a big splash when she starred in this lesbian romance where she finds herself involved in a love triangle with Radha Mitchell and Patricia Clarkson! An hour and ten minutes in, Radha's right nipple pops out of her tank top as Sheedy kisses it...
Three minutes later, we cut to the next morning and get a quick look at Sheedy's right breast as she climbs back into bed with Mitchell while topless...
1981: Clash of the Titans
One of the great fantasy epics ever made is this loving throwback to the films of Ray Harryhausen—whose final stint as a Visual Effects Supervisor was on this film. It also comes to us from that long ago time when PG flicks had nudity in them! Just 11 minutes into the film we get our first female nudity as Vida Taylor breastfeeds our hero Perseus when he's just a baby...
Late in the film, Perseus' love interest Andromeda, played by Judi Bowker, is going to be offered as a sacrifice to the giant sea creature, the Kraken! A team of handmaidens help get her ready, bathing her and giving us a nice look at her body double's beautiful backside and right breast...
1981: History of the World Part 1
Also on this day 38 years ago, Mel Brooks proved that it's good to be the king with this comedy classic! Brooks himself gets an eyeful from Pamela Stephenson, who rips open her bodice in an attempt to get her imprisoned father free. Supposedly you can see her nipple, but I can't spot it. Maybe you guys are better at this than I am...
1968: Rosemary's Baby
Finally, on this day 51 years ago, Mia Farrow became a superstar thanks to her starring role in this smash supernatural hit. The only thing is that Farrow left most of her nudity to a body double. 10 minutes into the flick, Farrow and on-screen husband John Cassavettes strip down in the living room of their new apartment, and we get a quick look at Mia's left breast...
Her other two nude scenes, both of them "dream sequences" while she's on board a boat, both utilize a body double as you can tell from the clever editing...
And here's the other one...
You gotta hand it to Polanski, he really knows his way around a woman's body!
