00:00My heart was pounding the whole time.
00:02Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the movie nude scenes that have stuck with us the longest.
00:08Who's the dude?
00:10Number 10, Boogie Nights.
00:12Chronicling the golden age of the adult film industry, Paul Thomas Anderson's period film, unsurprisingly, has plenty of nudity.
00:18Hello, are you John?
00:21Yes, ma'am.
00:23Your agency recommends you very highly.
00:25Well, I'm a really hard worker, and if you give me a job, I won't disappoint you.
00:29There are many moments that could be included in this list, including the unforgettable shot of Mark Wahlberg at the end, albeit wearing a prosthetic.
00:36We are going to go with the one that happens early.
00:39Wahlberg's Eddie, the future Dirk Diggler, is asked by director Jack Horner about his thoughts on Roller Girl, played by Heather Graham.
00:46What do you think of Roller Girl?
00:48She's great.
00:50Would you like to do it?
00:52Have sex.
00:54Oh yeah.
00:54She's then summoned over, and with minimal prompting, strips off your clothes and joins Eddie on the couch.
01:00Well, she keeps her skates on.
01:02Anderson soon cuts back to Horner, leaving much of the moment to our imaginations.
01:06But his steady focus tells us everything.
01:08Well, I've got a brand new pair of roller skates.
01:12You've got a brand new key.
01:14Number 9.
01:15The Wolf of Wall Street
01:16Having your first Hollywood film be a Martin Scorsese project is a major flex.
01:21That's what happened to Margot Robbie, who went from being fairly unknown to an A-lister after appearing in The Wolf of Wall Street.
01:27So I presume you're Italian?
01:29On my dad's side, I'm also Dutch, German, English.
01:34I'm a mutt.
01:35After a dinner date, Leonardo DiCaprio's Jordan Belfort, a married man, is invited into the home of Robbie's Naomi.
01:42Knowing this isn't just an innocent visit between friends.
01:44That's it.
01:45That's it.
01:45You're leaving.
01:46Don't get involved.
01:47Go home to your wife.
01:48Just as soon as it seems he may let a better judgement prevail, she emerges wearing just about nothing.
01:56And things proceed from there.
01:57Robbie displays her promise in multiple scenes throughout the film.
02:00It's supposed to mean I'm...
02:01This is how it's gonna go.
02:03I'm gonna take custody of the kids.
02:05If you agree to the divorce right now, I will allow visitation.
02:08Okay?
02:09Don't try to fight it.
02:10But it is this moment that makes her eventual stardom all but inevitable.
02:14Number 8.
02:15Trading Places
02:15There are definitely aspects of this fish-out-of-water comedy that have aged poorly.
02:20But we can't deny that it features first-rate work from stars Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy
02:24as a rich broker and a struggling hustler who find themselves in each other's shoes.
02:29Dukes ruined my life over a bet.
02:34For how much?
02:37A dollar.
02:40One dollar.
02:41Also making a major impression in a smaller role is Jamie Lee Curtis,
02:45Curtis as Ophelia, a sex worker working with the pair.
02:49After giving down-on-his-luck Winthorpe a place to stay, Ophelia proposes a deal.
02:53I'm talking about a business proposition, Louis.
02:56I help you get yourself back on your feet and you pay me, in cash, five figures.
03:01That's the deal and it's not subject to negotiation.
03:04Then she gets undressed in front of the mirror, laying down the ground rules and emphatically
03:08shutting the door.
03:09At the time, Curtis was primarily associated with horror movies.
03:12But her work in this film showed that she was far more than just a scream queen.
03:16Merry Christmas!
03:18Number 7.
03:20Desperado.
03:20Robert Rodriguez's Desperado, while highly profitable, wasn't exactly a blockbuster.
03:25However, anyone who did see it could tell that Salma Hayek was going to be huge.
03:29I hope you don't think you can take someone like Buchol by yourself.
03:33So you know him?
03:34Yeah.
03:34Hayek plays Carolina, a bookstore owner who becomes involved with Antonio Banderas' El
03:39Mariachi.
03:40And when they go to bed together, things are seriously hot.
03:44Okay, we can improvise.
03:45I'll help you.
03:46Improvise?
03:47Yeah.
03:47As in, they're surrounded by candles.
03:50However, it's Hayek who commands the most attention, both from the camera and from the
03:54viewers.
03:54She later admitted to crying while filming the intense scene, but also asserting that neither
03:58Rodriguez nor Banderas put any pressure on her.
04:01Go, go, go!
04:02Number 6.
04:04Mulholland Drive.
04:05Even for a David Lynch movie, Mulholland Drive is surreal.
04:08Good night, Betty.
04:10You don't have to wear that in the house.
04:13What?
04:15The wig.
04:16Perhaps the best way to approach it is like watching a series of dreams unfolding right
04:20in front of you.
04:20But even if you can't piece all or even most of it together, you can still appreciate
04:25the bond formed between its two leads.
04:27Naomi Watts plays Betty Elms, an aspiring actress who meets a woman with amnesia who claims that
04:32the name Rita, played by Laura Herring.
04:34What's wrong?
04:38I don't know who I am.
04:41What do you mean?
04:42You're Rita.
04:43No, I'm not.
04:45I don't know what my name is.
04:47Things get more complicated from there, and the two eventually have sex.
04:50Though explicit love scenes between women are often prone to feeling voyeuristic rather
04:54than erotic, Lynch and his actresses understand how to emphasise tenderness above all else.
05:00Go with me somewhere.
05:03Shine.
05:04Number 5.
05:05Basic Instinct.
05:06Even if you've never seen Paul Verhoeven's erotic thriller, you probably know of this scene.
05:11There's no smoking in this building, Miss Trammell.
05:13What are you going to do?
05:16Charge me with smoking?
05:17Crime novelist Catherine Trammell, played by Sharon Stone, is questioned in the murder
05:21of her boyfriend due to the similarity between his manner of death and her writing.
05:25He wasn't afraid of experimenting.
05:29I like men like that.
05:32Men who give me pleasure.
05:36He gave me a lot of pleasure.
05:37While there has been some controversy between Stone and Verhoeven about how much she knew
05:41about what would have been seen, the moment's impact goes beyond just a lack of underwear.
05:46It's also an amazing showcase for her ability to play someone who knows how to use her wits
05:50to manipulate men however possible.
05:52Do you like a cigarette, Nick?
05:54Number 4.
05:54Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
05:56It's remarkable how much the dynamic of a standard scene can be changed by the absence of clothes.
06:01Hey, you got here fast.
06:03Case in point, forgetting Sarah Marshall.
06:05Sarah, played by Kristen Bell, breaks the news to Jason Segel's Peter that she's breaking things off.
06:09As you know, I love you very much.
06:14This happens while he's wearing a towel, which is subsequently dropped in disbelief.
06:19Segel remains unclothed, and we see just about every inch of him as he tries to process the news.
06:24Although much of the humor comes from the shock of the moment, we also have to credit Segel and
06:28Bell for the emotional vulnerability they bring to what could have purely been a moment of broad comedy.
06:34There's someone else.
06:35I'm sorry.
06:39Number 3.
06:39Borat.
06:40It's often said that actors doing nudity is brave.
06:42While that's true, this is on a whole nother level.
06:45I'm not going to eat this, you just can't find this.
06:47Would you believe this?
06:48In this mockumentary, Sacha Baron Cohen's Kazakh journalist lashes out against producer Azamat,
06:54played by Ken Division, both fully nude.
06:58Soon, the fight goes from their hotel room to the hallway, where they're seen by unsuspecting guests.
07:03It doesn't stop there, as they go down the elevator and into the ballroom, where a banquet is taking place.
07:09And things only get more chaotic from there.
07:11The duo's antics might not be so amusing to the people caught off guard by them, but they're definitely daring.
07:17Number 2.
07:17Titanic.
07:18James Cameron's historic epic broke box office records, swept the Oscars, and raised the bar for visual effects.
07:24But one of its most enduring scenes is also one of its most intimate.
07:28Rose, played by Kate Winslet, makes a special request to Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack.
07:32Jack, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls.
07:36Wearing this.
07:37And so, he proceeds to sketch her as she lies on the couch.
07:40Though it's since been memed and parodied countless times over,
07:43re-watching this scene reminds us of the tender and lovable chemistry between its stars
07:47that make their tragic ending all the more heartbreaking.
07:57Also, fun fact, the actual sketch was done by James Cameron himself.
08:01Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honourable mentions.
08:11Bound.
08:11Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon's already smouldering chemistry reaches a fever pitch in this love scene.
08:17I'm not apologising for what I did.
08:20I'm apologising for what I didn't do.
08:24Wild Things.
08:25An unforgettable moment from arguably the last great 90s erotic thriller.
08:29I want you two to kiss.
08:33Come on now.
08:34Shakespeare in Love.
08:35Gwyneth Paltrow looks absolutely ravishing in her Oscar-winning role.
08:39Are you the author of the plays of William Shakespeare?
08:42I am.
08:43Then kiss me again, for I'm not mistook.
08:45No hard feelings.
08:46Jennifer Lawrence reminds us that she's a top-notch comedic actress in this hilarious moment.
08:51Hey, what you up to over there?
08:54She's suing our taxes.
08:55Team America World Police.
08:57We'd never seen puppets like this before.
09:00There's not a thing in the world that can mess this up.

09:18Number 1. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
09:22The 80s was the peak of sex comedies, and the best of them all is Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
09:27Mom, do you have company?
09:29It's just Mark and Mike from school.
09:31Hi.
09:32How you doing?
09:33Hi, little bit.
09:34Hi, Brad.
09:35While the film does have plenty of heart to go with the smut, the most iconic moment is one of the most explicit.
09:41Linda, played by Phoebe Cates, is hanging out at the pool with her best friend Stacy.
09:45Meanwhile, Stacy's brother Brad, played by Judge Reinhold, has a fantasy about Linda in her bright red bikini, with her top coming off.
09:52Hi, Brad.
09:55You know how cute I always thought you were.
09:57The slow-motion electric guitar backdrop and the light shining down all add up to one unforgettable moment.
10:03And of course, we can't forget the capper, as Brad is brought back into reality by Linda barging into the bathroom.
10:09Doesn't anybody f***ing knock anymore?
10:12What movie nude scene left the biggest impression on you?
10:14Let us know in the comments.
10:16I know what that means.
10:17If I put clothes on, it's over, okay?
