Every so often a scene gets paired with a song that, for better or worse, ends up making it that much more memorable, and as it’s that special time of year, it felt only right to have this edition be about nudity set to a holiday tune.
It actually took a while to find the right nudity/song combo this time. Like many of you no doubt, the first instinct was to go with Nicolette Scorsese stripping off her bright red swimsuit to Bing Crosby’s crooning of “Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas)” during Chevy Chase’s famous pool fantasy in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It’s a moment that’s seared in a lot of memories thanks to multiple seasonal viewings, despite the fact that Nicolette doesn’t actually go nude. There’s a hint of sideboob, yes, but come on. Those of us who’ve been extra good this year deserve a fully unwrapped gift.

So that’s why we’re going with the unconventional holiday movie route with the 2000 crime thriller Reindeer Games. True, it’s not really about Christmas, but it’s got two things that make it a top-tier holiday watch - a soundtrack full of classic carols and Charlize Theron nude.

Ok, so it doesn’t crack anyones list of the top heist movies, but with some of the Christmas classics becoming more cringeworthy as time goes on, you could do a lot worse than a film helmed by the man who gave us the original The Manchurian Candidate, John Frankenheimer.

And this is the only thing even close to a holiday film that boasts everyone’s favorite South African stunner in her prime. Charlize gets butt naked for some frantic sex with Ben Affleck, baring her breasts and buns as they roll around in bed (and off it) to Dean Martin’s rendition of “Let It Snow.” It may seem out of of place… until it’s a White Christmas in your pants. Then it all comes together, if you catch our drift.

If anything, it’s a great way to deck those halls while you empty your balls!
