Update on the 1995 poll

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.

  1. 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

  2. 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

    7.sort of nudity from various, Kids
    8.Ione Skye, Sammi Davis Voss, Four Roooms

    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

      1. Thanks for the correction. I didn’t realize these were two separate Angelina Jolie movies.

    1. 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):

      Victoria Abril in French Twist
      Drew Barrymore – Boys on the Side
      Renata Dancewitz in Devilish Education (tremendous nudity)
      Mimi Rogers in Full Body Massage
      Helena Bonham Carter in Margaret’s Museum
      Romane Bohringer in Full Eclipse
      Chen and Heche in Wild Side
      Stacy Dash in Illegal in Blue
      Rebecca de Mornay in Never Talk to Strangers
      Cindy Crawford in Fair Game
      Els Dottermans in Antonia’s Line
      Audie England in Delta of Venus
      Holly Marie Combs in A Reason to Believe
      Linda Fiorentino in Jade
      Salma Hayek in Desperado
      Eva Herzigova in Guardian Angels
      Amy Irving full frontal in Kleptomania
      Patsy Kensit in Angels and Insects
      Anna Levine in Drunks
      Catherine Keener in Living in Oblivion
      Athena Massey in Undercover
      Rose McGowan in The Doom Generation
      Catherine McCormack in Braveheart
      Alyssa Milano in an episode of Outer Limits
      Alyssa Milano in Embrace of the Vampire
      Molly Ringwald in Malicious
      Perry Reeves in Kicking and Screaming
      Theresa Russell in Hotel Paradise
      Mia Sara in Black Day, Blue Night
      Joan Severance in Payback
      Anna Nicole Smith in To The Limit
      Cynda Williams in Condition Red
      Cynda Williams in an episode of Fallen Angels
      Shannon Whirry in Private Obsession
      J-Lo in MoneyTrain

      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!

  3. 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.

      1. I was thinking of the movie “Close My Eyes” with Saskia Reeves, excellent nude scene.

        1. 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.

    1. 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.
