'PG' films with some nudity
Man with a Golden Gun
(1974) - brief
Kramer vs Kramer
(1979) - moderate
A Room with a View
(1985) - 'brief' nudity yeah right.
Manon des Sources
(1986) - brief
The Fifth Element
(1997) - brief
These are just those I've seen. Male nudity is normally 'worse' and so some films with the same amount of male nudity in one film as female nudity in another film are often rated higher for some reason.
The BBFC - nudity in films rated '12'
Nudity is allowed, but in a sexual context must be brief and discreet.

Off the top of my head here, to add to the above list, are a few more UK PG movies with nudity:
(looks towards own video/dvd collection)
La Rayon Vert - plently of moderate nudity (ie topless bathers) during a scene on a beach
Le Beau Mariage - brief full-frontal female who is also seen in from the back while taking a shower
My Life As a Dog - brief female full-frontal
Amadeus - brief male full-frontal
Jaberwocky - brief full-frontal female (same woman also seen topless and "from behind"), also features Michael Palin's arse (on the back of the video sleeve LOL!)
Orlando - moderate (and essential to plot) full-frontal female
Cinema Paradiso (original cut) - brief topless female (not to mention a shot of some young men in the cinema obviously masturbating over Brigette Bardot)
From Russia With Love - brief shot of naked woman getting into Bond's bed
Carry On Behind - prolonged "from behind" shot of embarrased naked female exposed when shower cubicle door falls off, earlier in the movie a cine film of a topless dancer is accidently shown at an educational lecture. "Carry On Behind" also features a brief shot of Kenneth William's behind)
Carry On Nurse - naked woman in bath is repeatedly disturbed by people climbing in through her bathroom window
Carry On Abroad - Barbara Windsor is seen naked in the shower
Carry On Camping - opening scene features 2 couples watching a movie about a nudist colony (I recognise the movie but can't name it) with some added close-up footage of a topless woman "discovering" the camp
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - naked woman seen from behind and soon after lounging in a hammock, plus a blatant Uma Thurman nipple slip
Munchhausen - m-a-n-y topless woman seen during the harem scene (and this was made in 1943 LOL)
The Charge of the Light Brigade - topless woman in bathhouse
Pop Scene (R.E.M. video collection) - "Pop Song '89" features 3 topless female dancers
Big Fish - brief very moderate female nudity and shot of Danny DeVito's arse
I am sure there are more, even in my collection (just spotted my Werner Herzog/Klaus Kinski DVD boxset, so you can add "Fitzcaraldo" and "Cobra Verde" to the list)
It's worth noting that during the 80's both "Carry On Camping" and "Carry On Behind" where regularly shown uncut on the BBC as Saturday afternoon filler.
Also, the "Universal" rated movie "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" features a prolonged nude bathing scene featuring the 2 female leads.

Notice the aboriginal women who find the car. They are topless, a natural state in many cultures. She tries to hide her breasts from the boy, but that means nothing to him. She is skinny dipping and he is working. Sex for him is procreation. He has not time to skinny dip, except at the end, and that is fantasy or maybe even heaven without all our hangups about nudity.

I have to admit I was a bit surprised to learn that Walkabout got a PG rating considering the full frontal nudity. But the fact that it was natural and not in a sexual or exploitive nature was probably the basis for which it won the appeal. Still, I bet this raised quite a few eyebrows at the time.
Actually, 1971 was an odd year for movie ratings. Other PG-rated movies released that year that had nudity include Billy Jack and The Vanishing Point. And then there was the Dario Argento movie Cat O' Nine Tails which not only had a topless Catherine Spaak but also some graphic violence, which makes the original PG rating all the more questionable. -

I think the meaning of the certificate has changed over time. 'PG' denotes 'parental guidance' and taken at its most literal interpretation most films fall within the remit of parental guidance. However it's treated as a 'U' these days whereas U itself is treated primarily as a children's certificate.

I thought that the nature of the nudity was the entire point. It's been a little while since i saw the movie, but I quite well remember the distinction between her nude swimming being presented as her accepting life in the outback and the picnic scene in which the woman in a skirt is subject to hopeful glances from the men every time she moves her leg. I'm not necessarily defending the cinematic practice of evoking emotion just to get us to question ourselves for reacting as we do, as I frequently find it a bit pretentious on the filmmaker's part, but I do think that's what this movie was doing.

Oh yes, what a mature comment. Nudity is shown in a very natural way in this movie, there are no sex scenes. I think the rating is fair. Now, tell me: would violence be 12 material?? Would you rather have your 7 yr-old brother watch "Hostel" instead?

I have no problem with nudity but a 12 for a movie with high criticism of modern society and with scenes involving a father trying to kill his son, two suicide and the cynicism of the world are something completely different. How can you for one second say that nudity is worse for a child than this? The nudity in this film wasn't even sexual.

Name another country where they ban or age limit ONLY sex but severe violence is okay.
Even Germany who bans certain words and violence accepts sex.
