I can think of several movies where nudity was integral to the plot. But, yes, in most cases, it is gratuitous. I, however, disagree with your assessment of nudity solely being in movies for guys so they'll watch it. I know a lot of girls who love male nudity as much as any guy a female. And i won't go see a movie merely for the nudity. It's not even a factor. I go for entertainment, not titillation, and i'm sure a lot of other guys agree.
Based upon my personal experience, your arguments are completely wrong. But who knows, i suppose you hang out with different kinds of people than i do. -

I said most woman don't care if there's nudity in movies, not that they don't like it. But I still stand behind what I said, that nudity is in movies to entice men more than woman to see it. If they wanted to entice more woman to go see movies with nudity than movie makers would become more equal about whose privates they were showing. I have no problem with nudity, but I don't like to see a film that has it in it only b/c they could. If there's no reason for it, don't use it.

Before anyone starts attacking someone because they won't do nudity, think about the double standard. Guys aren't asked to do nudity, except maybe showing they're asses. And the reason is, nudity is really only in films for guys and guys don't want to see someone else's penis on the screen, especially when it's twenty feet big! Hell, you show one guys' penis on screen and most times the movie becomes NC-17, but put in a locker room full of topless girls and it's only rated R.
You are, of course, ignoring the entire career of Ewan McGregor. -

True, there are exceptions to every rule. But most male actors haven't and won't appear fully nude in films. Nor are they asked to, unlike women.

I say BRAVO! Not because I wouldn't want to see more of her but because this way there'll always be something left to desire. Perhaps the old saying: "Having something is not as good as wanting it." applies. Back in the good ole' days (the 80's
there wasn't much nudity and boy did the ladies back then seem all the sexier for it. After all, once you've seen it (all) what's left? -

snort From what I've heard one could argue Showgirls wasn't worth watching AT ALL, let alone what they did or didn't show. Haven't seen it myself of course because such films have no interest for me and actually disgust me.

Personally, I find it hypocritical when somebody pretends to be on a higher moral ground by not doing nudity but then spends half the movie running around in a tight shirt with a bare stomach showing and big tits bouncing. Obviously, she didn't accept the role because she thought it would be some kind of magnificent artistic expression. She just looks like a tease for doing that. If you're going to make a statement by not doing nudity, then don't be a tease either.
People don't watch horror movies for great acting. They watch them for the scare, the gore, the gratuitous nudity, etc. We're not talking about Shakespeare or Broadway theater here people. My point is that if a person objects to nudity because they want to be acknowledged as an actor/actress and not as another hot body, then follow through with that conviction all the way. Because when you refuse to do nudity but then dress provocatively, you will be viewed by many people as nothing more than a tease.
The chick who played Lori got on my nerves because she did the exact same thing. And I'm sure I wasn't the only guy who was admiring her implants more than her "artistic expression". If you're an actress and you're trying to impress guys with your acting ability, then don't spend the entire movie exploiting your body and teasing us. Because us guys are going to be spending more time admiring your hot body than we are admiring your acting talents. That doesn't make us immature, or scumbags either. There's nothing wrong with admiring beautiful women and wanting to see them naked. It's 100% normal and healthy.
And before everybody freaks out, I'm not maligning her for not doing nudity. That's her prerogative. And judging by her body of work, she's a pretty good actress. -

Anybody ever think that maybe she doesn't want her family to see her naked on screen? I'm sure most of the people who are putting her down cause she won't do nudity are guys. Guys, would you be OK with your family seeing you naked? If you are OK with that, then you're kinda weird.

"Can anyone really name a movie, besides porn, that nudity has helped further the story?"
I Am Curious - Yellow & Blue to name one.
The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum to name two.
I'm sure there are more, but those are just two off the top of my head. -

There is a big difference between penises on screen and tits on screen. You could argue that there are many movies that have topless women and it's rated R but many movies that have topless men and are only rated PG. Most movies that have bottomless women are also rated NC-17 as are most movies with penises.

"Honestly, nudity does nothing for a film. Can anyone really name a movie, besides porn, that nudity has helped further the story? That wasn't just in the film to say, hey look there's someone's tit?"
Okay, I didn't read every post, but did anyone say: Basic Instinct, when she flashes her hooha?
