Our Staff Picks column takes you back to a time when video stores reigned supreme and the "Staff Picks" section was the place to find out what films were worthy of one's time. Of course, our version of Staff Picks has a decidedly skintillating angle, as we suss out which films from a particular subgenre are the best to find great nudity. This week let's cover one of the absolute BEST genres: musicals!
Musicals are an American tradition, but people tend to think of musicals as being family-friendly. Many of them are, but there are plenty of musicals that show skin...a lot of skin. Here are the sexiest movie musicals!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
One of the campiest, funniest musicals ever made is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This camp classic brought us Dr. Frank-N-Furter, The Time Warp, and so much more. We love it for the flirty costumes that show us the nips on actresses like Susan Sarandon and Nell Campbell. These horny hotties in Rocky Horror will get you rock hard.
The First Nudie Musical
This is a hilarious 1976 movie musical that is cheeky in more ways than one. The plot follows a movie mogul's son who wants to help his family's failing movie studio. How can he possibly raise ticket sales at the box office? With nudity, of course! Sex sells and musicals are fun, so he joins his secretary Cindy Williams to come up with the idea for the horniest musical ever made.
And horny it is! Alexandra Morgan flashes her body during a song called "Dancing Dildos". Jane Ralston shows off her killer rack, but your pants will be at full attention when a line of chorus girls dance topless. They later dance without pants, too. The nudie musical is making me think that I LOVE musicals.
Forbidden Zone
This wacky 1980 cult classic features music from Oingo Boingo and performances by Danny Elfman and his 80s friends and family. It also features nudity. Hooray! Gisele Lindley is topless for most of the movie, showcasing the pointiest nipples known to movie musical history. Susan Tyrrell plays the iconic villain whose low-cut dress is cut SO low that we can see her round melons! If the dress went any lower then we would see HER Forbidden Zone.
All That Jazz
Oscar-winning director and choreographer Bob Fosse delivered this semi-autobiographical movie musical in 1979 with exquisite dance numbers featuring limber and lovely dancers. Big-breasted blond Sandahl Bergman showed off her flexibility with her topless dance number.
Not to be outdone, Sue Paul was another blond with boobs who was topless in a bedroom scene. I'll give these amazing actresses a jazz hand!
Across the Universe
Julie Taymor used her directing skills with this popular, brightly-colored, jukebox musical telling a love story using only Beatles songs. Evan Rachel Wood plays Lucy who comes down from the sky to show off her bare nips. Those beauties look as gorgeous as diamonds! I'd travel Across the Universe and back again for a taste of her strawberry fields. Maybe we'd even Come Together.
