Top 12 most scandalous erotic scenes in the history of cinema

Erotic scenes are not considered uncommon for Hollywood actors. Even those actors who have won an Oscar do not consider it beneath their dignity to take part in such scenes, if their role requires it. Of course, some actors started their careers in slightly more racy scenes, deciding to get naked before they eventually achieved enough success to be able to avoid taking on riskier roles that might make them feel uncomfortable.

It seems that many actors and actresses appear naked in films, but often what you actually see are the bodies of understudies and skillful editing. Nevertheless, the actors we will talk about in this list decided to take a chance and undress without using the body of an understudy.

12. "Basic Instinct" / Sharon Stone

The most legendary scene from this film has forever remained engraved in the history of cinema. Sharon Stone's famous interrogation scene probably caused more teenagers to hit the pause button than any other movie in history. In the film, Sharon Stone wore a white dress during police interrogation, and at one point she crossed her legs in an ambiguous way. After the film was released, this particular scene became a defining pop moment in culture and remains one of the most piquant scenes to this day. Sharon Stone said she didn't even know she showed what she showed in the movie. She admitted that she gave the director of the film a slap on the head when she saw the first working copy of the film.

11. "Boogie Nights" / Heather Graham

It's not hard to imagine that a film revolving around the adult film industry would include a certain proportion of nude scenes. However, in the movie "Boogie Nights" there were a lot of them, and with the participation of famous Hollywood names. One, in particular, with the participation of Heather Graham, eventually gave a leap to the career of an actress. Graham starred as a porn actress Rollergirl, and in the film it is she who introduces the young Mark Wahlberg into the world of "erotic film". The scene we have in mind is remembered for her character's refusal to take off her roller skates— even when everything else was removed. After this film, she got roles in such Hollywood blockbusters as "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Seduced Me", "Bachelor Party in Vegas" and others.

10. "Blue Velvet" / Isabella Rossellini

Isabella Rossellini is one of the classic beauties of cinema of all time. The Italian actress was completely naked in the film "Blue Velvet" directed by David Lynch (David Lynch). The film is recognized as one of the greatest films of the 1980s. Rossellini plays the role of Dorothy Vallens, kidnapped by Dennis Hopper, who finds herself in a strange criminal situation. The film unfolds one of the most surreal and strange love scenes in the history of cinema. David Lynch is just a master at shooting love scenes that are so strangely awkward — but memorable.

9. "Password "Swordfish" / Halle Berry

According to rumors, Halle Berry received half a million dollars to appear topless in the movie "Password " Swordfish". And this is on top of the $2.5 million salary that she was already paid. Some critics were not impressed with this scene, and they considered it a cheap trick that had no meaning in the plot of the film. This may be true, but this is Hollywood, and the hype surrounding this scene was big enough to ensure box office success.

8. "Dreamers" (The Dreamers)/ Eva Green

Eva Green is a real Hollywood star who starred in such blockbusters as Casino Royale and 300 Spartans: The Rise of an Empire. Nevertheless, one of her early films was the cult hit "Dreamers", in which she made her provocative film debut. In her very first role, she completely exposed herself and made big waves in the world of cinema. The risky film later became known as one of the most erotic films ever shown in conventional theaters, and received an NC-17 rating.

7. "Vice for export" / Viggo Mortensen

The scene is memorable for its visceral nature and is one of the most aggressive nude scenes ever filmed. Viggo Mortensen plays a Russian bandit, and he enters into a fight for his life, trying to defend himself from an opponent. He ends up naked during the scene, followed by a daring dramatic episode, which Viggo Mortensen plays completely naked.

6. "Taking lives" / Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has appeared nude in many films since she first burst onto the scene as supermodel Gia Carangi in a TV movie about her life. She appeared nude in this film, but it was an unforgettable scene in the film "Taking Lives" that went down in history as her most provocative scene. Right after bathing in the rays of glory from her role as Lara Croft Jolie made an unforgettable addition to a number of famous nude scenes, playing with Ethan Hawke. The scene was so sexy that there was talk of giving the film an NC-17 rating because of it, but cold heads prevailed, and the category dropped to a more modest R rating.

5. "American pie" / Shannon Elizabeth

One of the most popular teen comedies of all time includes many memorable scenes — some of them involving the improper use of homemade desserts. However, in the most famous scene, an exchange student named Nadia is played by Shannon Elizabeth. She is interrupted in a very naughty situation, and Jim (Jason Biggs) (Jason Biggs) tries to approach her. She accepts his offer and forces him to undress in order to equalize their position. What happens next is very shameful for Jim, and is one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of cinema.

4. "Loves — does not love" / Sarah Silverman (Sarah Silverman)

Comedic actress Sarah Silverman is not known for her roles in dramas or for participating in any scenes involving nudity. But in this independent film, Silverman undressed for a decidedly unsexy shower scene involving three girlfriends at the gym. The Internet began to heat up and start rumors when it was confirmed that Silverman would appear nude in the film. Nevertheless, the end result turned out to be relatively modest and revealed the relationship between friends to a greater extent than any sexual connotations.

3. "Shame" / Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender is probably one of the most popular and sought-after actors working in cinema today. He appeared in the last film of the X-Men series and in the movie Inglourious Bastards. However, the most shocking and memorable was his role in the 2011 film Shame. This is a dark story about a man who tries to hide his sexual addiction. There are several scenes in the film where Michael Fassbender is completely naked. One scene in particular is notable for the trauma he receives after trying to enter into an intimate relationship with a woman for whom he actually has feelings. It was a bold choice for one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. He was able to just go completely naked just in order to play his character more reliably.

2. "Titanic" / Kate Winslet

One of the biggest box office hits of all time featured Kate Winslet's first nude scene and probably one of the most parodied scenes of all time. Innocent Rose undresses for Jack (performed by Leonardo DiCaprio) and he draws an intimate portrait for her. The scene helped draw attention to the two stars of the film. She also made teenagers admire the romantic script and repeatedly lured moviegoers to theaters. This scene made Titanic one of the most popular films of all time.

1. "Rapid Changes at Ridgemont College" / Phoebe Cates

The pool scene featuring 80s legend Phoebe Cates has probably become one of the most re-viewed scenes in the history of cinema. Teenagers went in droves to buy VHS of this classic movie after it came out. This scene got into the history of cinema, but in the movie it's actually an episode from a dream: when she comes out of the pool, takes off her bra and kisses Brad (Judge Reinhold), it all happens in his imagination. Don't blame him, because Phoebe Cates was one of the most popular teen idols of the 1980s ©.
