00:08Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most captivating or
00:12unexpected nude scenes that had viewers hitting the pause button.
00:16Just because you wear a wig doesn't prove you're a girl.
00:20Okay then.

00:23Like One of Your French Girls – Titanic
00:25Even though this is a tragic film, for some, it may be a guilty pleasure, and for
00:29obvious reasons.
00:41With its PG-13 rating, nudity in Titanic was relatively mild.
00:45Aside from Jack and Rose's racy car scene, the painting sequence stands out as a subtly
00:50sensual highlight.
00:52When Rose steps into the room clad in just a transparent robe and necklace, anticipation
00:57builds.
01:11Then comes the moment everyone's been waiting for – a brief yet unforgettable glimpse
01:16of Kate Winslet's figure.
01:17Back in the VHS era, replaying those artfully framed shots felt like a rite of passage.
01:30And let's be honest, Mr. Big Artist wasn't the only one blushing by the end of that scene.
01:359.
01:36Mirror Image – Trading Places
01:38It's safe to say Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd's chemistry isn't the only reason some of
01:43us keep revisiting this timeless comedy.
01:45Jamie Lee Curtis' sizzling reveal in her first big role outside of horror made this
01:50film truly unforgettable.
02:07Playing Ophelia, a sex worker with a heart of gold, Curtis didn't just win us over
02:11with her smartness or kindness.
02:13It's what lies before that heart that captivated us more.
02:25Fans of The Scream Queen will no doubt remember the sensual scene where Ophelia takes off
02:30her top, catches Lewis staring, and quickly covers up.
02:34While many couldn't help admiring her figure, Curtis reportedly felt embarrassed about the
02:38scene.
02:458.
02:46Peeping Tom – National Lampoon's Animal House
02:48Before comedies like American Pie and Old School came along, there was the legendary
02:52Animal House, a movie so vulgar it redefined college chaos.
03:07Even though the tea wasn't in short supply, one particular moment stuck out.
03:11Using a ladder, Bluto spies on a sorority where the girls are, of course, having a pillow
03:16fight in their underwear.
03:18Completely normal.
03:19He then gawks at Mandy as she strips down.
03:21Just as his excitement reaches its peak, his ladder tips over.
03:25This moment likely had many going back for another look.
03:297.
03:31Shower Flash – Gone Girl
03:33This psychological thriller didn't just earn critical acclaim, it also went viral for one
03:37jaw-dropping moment.
03:52During the tense shower scene where Amy Dunn spills it all, Nick has no choice but to strip
03:57down to hear her confessions.
03:59It wasn't just Amy's words that caught viewers off guard, but something more interesting.
04:04While some may have missed the fleeting showcase of Ben Affleck's full frontal, eagle-eyed
04:08fans certainly didn't.
04:23And even if you did, there's always the pause button.
04:26And yes, it was the real deal.
04:28In an industry where male stars rarely bare it all, this scene deserved the attention
04:33it got.
04:426.
04:52Triple Threat – Total Recall
04:54This sci-fi adventure follows Arnold Schwarzenegger as a construction worker haunted by the dreams
04:59of Mars, with Sharon Stone playing his wife.
05:09Despite the A-list stars and action thrills, there's one moment that has remained arguably
05:13even more memorable.
05:15While navigating the mutant-populated area, our protagonist encounters a woman who unzips
05:19her top to reveal some unique anatomy.
05:31It remains one of the movie's most talked-about moments.
05:39This triple threat was memorable enough to make a cameo in the 2012 reboot.
05:485.
05:49Diggler's Legendary Asset – Boogie Nights
06:04It could have been Leonardo DiCaprio or Joaquin Phoenix in Boogie Nights, but they both passed
06:09on the role.
06:10Instead, it was Mark Wahlberg who finally played Eddie, whose rise and fall in the adult
06:14film industry unfolds in this daring movie.
06:32The film has an unflinching approach to explicit content, but one moment nonetheless stands
06:37out.
06:38To show us how big a star he is, Dirk Diggler bares it all.
06:41In case you're wondering, yes, it was a prosthetic.
06:44And so, it's a role that Wahlberg openly regrets.
06:584.
07:09The Wolf of Wall Street
07:21In the role that shot her to stardom, Margot Robbie made a bold decision for her character
07:25in Martin Scorsese's 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street.
07:29Playing lingerie designer Naomi LaPaglia, she seduces stockbroker Jordan Belfort, wearing
07:34only high heels and socks.
07:41Interestingly, the nudity was Robbie's own idea.
07:53Speaking to The Telegraph, she said,
07:54"...the whole point of Naomi is that her body is her only form of currency in this
07:58world.
07:59She insisted that in this scene, she has to be naked.
08:01She's laying her cards on the table."
08:03Judging by how electrifying that scene turned out, she was right.
08:283.
08:29Sunbathing – Swordfish
08:31While the film Swordfish was far from a smash hit, it generated buzz before release thanks
08:35to news of Halle Berry's first topless scene.
08:38It may be unnecessary, but for many, it was a pause-worthy moment.
08:45For those who need a refresher, it happens when Hugh Jackman's hacker Stanley walks
08:50outside to find Berry's ginger sunbathing.
08:52She lowers her book, unashamed of her nudity.
08:55Though rumors claimed that Berry was paid extra for the scene, the Catwoman actress
08:59denied them.
09:00Claiming it was her way of overcoming her fear of on-screen nudity.
09:062.
09:10Interrogation – Basic Instinct
09:12For decades, this erotic thriller has remained influential, not just for its plot, but for
09:16pushing boundaries with provocative details.
09:19None is more unforgettable than that famous shot of Sharon Stone's femme fatale, Catherine
09:24Tramiel.
09:25Allegedly, Stone claimed she didn't know that the gratuitous view would make the final
09:37cut, but it did, and it's now etched into cinema history.
09:41While being interrogated, Catherine uncrosses her legs, casually revealing that she's not
09:46wearing any underwear.
09:58The shocking moment probably had many scrambling to rewind their VHS tapes to double-check
10:02what they saw.

10:30Bikini Drop – Fast Times at Ridgemont High
10:33Thanks to Linda Barrett, many from that era can't hear the classic moving in stereo without
10:38picturing that pool scene.
10:40In capturing high school in its raw and honest form, this 80s sex comedy didn't shy away
10:45from portraying explicit scenes.
10:47One that has been burned into many memories is that steamy daydream where Brad imagines
10:52Linda, played by Phoebe Cates, seducing him.
11:00Stepping out of the pool, she casually takes off her bikini top.
11:03The scene has become iconic, and easily one of the most paused of all time.
