I have not forgotten about the 1995 poll. It’s just a real bear.
1995 was not like 1996.
In 1996 there were about 40 great nude scenes and no single one stood out above the others.
In 1995 there were only a handful of great scenes that have a chance to win, but there was good nudity in almost everything. My original list was something like 100 theatrical movies, about a dozen straight-to-vids and about a dozen TV shows. I pared it down a little bit, but I think the final list will still contain more than a hundred choices.
To make the process even more complex, the research and thumbnail creation is taking a long time because 1995 was part of the last gasp of the pre-DVD era, and some of the good choices have still not come to Blu-Ray, and there are even a few that were never even issued on DVD.
But I’m getting there.
More films from a list on IMDB, I thought some of these had theatrical releases
1.Patsy Kensit, Angels and Insects
2.Sophie Marceau, Beyond the Clouds (La Para des Nuages, or something like that) This is my vote
3.Delta of Venus, a Zalman King film. (I always thought Zalman King was a production company headed up by a man with a last name Zalman and a man with a last name King, however Zalman King used to do some acting and was in Charlie’s Angels which is airing on MeTV.) He played really creepy people.
4.Salma Hayek, Desperado, that may have had a theatrical release. Didn’t remember it had nudity.
5.Alyssia Milano, Embrace of the Vampire. Pretty sure this was straight to video.
6.Cindy Crawford, Fair Game. There is no nudity in the theatrical release. Any nudity in the video release is pretty minor compared to the nudity Cindy Crawford did in photoshoots.
7.Mimi Rogers, Full Body Massage
8.Linda Fiorentino, Jade
9.Molly Ringwald, Malicious, this is my #2
10.Jennifer Lopez, Money Train (this had a theatrical release)
11.Never Talk to Strangers starring Rebecca De Mornay. I don’t remember this movie at all.
12.Holly Marie Combs, A Reason to Believe
13.When Night is Falling, some French film
14.Anne Heche and Joan Chen, Wild Side
From my recollection based on the theatrical releases listed on boxofficemojo
(Where do you find the take for films about cows? boxofficemoojo. Har har har. Sorry)
don’t know if I’m adding anything or not
1.Natasha Henstridge, Species
2.Elisabeth Shue, Leaving Las Vegas
3.Joanna Going, How to Make an American Quilt
4.Elizabeth Berkley and the other one, Showgirls
5.Hedy Burress and Angelina Jolie and Shimzu somebody, Hackers
6.Juliette Lewis, Strange Days
7.sort of nudity from various, Kids
8.Ione Skye, Sammi Davis Voss, Four Roooms
9.Mia Kirshner, Exotica
10.Joey Lauren Adams, Mallrats
11.Robin Wright?, The Crossing Guard
12.Rose McGowan, The Doom Generation
13.Sort of Nudity from various, Live Nude Girls
Hedy Burress and Jenny Shimizu were in Foxfire with Jolie, not Hackers
Thanks for the correction. I didn’t realize these were two separate Angelina Jolie movies.
The Crossing Guard was Priscilla Barnes and Kari Wuhrer
Thanks!
Exotica opened in Toronto in 1994, so it will go into the 1994 group.
Already noted Crossing Guard.
Somebody else weighed in with the correct info on Hackers.
Otherwise, right on.
There were many, many others. Some examples (some you mentioned elsewhere):

and about 50 others that are not as well known- several in Live Nude Girls, others in Showgirls, several really impressive nude scenes in foreign films, Georgina Cates, Pascale Bussieres, Melinda Clarke, Chiara Caselli, Denise Crosby, Carol Alt, Irene Jacob, etc. Too many to mention.
When I finish loading the thumbs, there will be 104 choices!
Wondering if Butterfly Kiss if on the list? It didn’t get released until 1996, but I didn’t see it on the 1996 Poll.
Was that Saskia Reeves? Very nice scene if I have the right film in mind.
I was thinking of the movie “Close My Eyes” with Saskia Reeves, excellent nude scene.
That one was 1991 and it did have great nudity from Saskia, as well as from the woman in the opening scene. Pretty cool cast, too, with Clive Owen and Alan Rickman.
I should rewatch that.
Yes. Saskia will be one of the nominees, as will Amanda Plummer.
It didn’t hit the USA until 1996, but was released in the UK in 1995.
I use the IMDb date as the default, unless I can see some obvious reason why it is incorrect.
