• click to view intro slide

  Since 1999, Mr. Skin has been the world’s #1 resource for celebrity nudity from movies and TV. Now, to celebrate those 10 years, Mr. Skin is counting down the 100 Greatest Celebrity Nude Scenes of All Time.

  So what made the list and why?

  First, each scene had to come from a movie or TV show—no paparazzi shots or homemade sex tapes. Other factors included:

  • Star power of the naked celeb
  • Quality of nudity (i.e., what gets shown, how long it lasts)
  • Overall impact on popular culture and skinema history
  • One movie per actress (for often–nude stars, we chose their one all–time best scene)
  • One scene per movie (in a film that contains many nude scenes, we picked the best)

  #50 Jennifer Aniston nude in The Break-Up (2006)

  (0:57) Taunting ex-lover Vince Vaughn in his own living room, Jennifer nakedly struts past him, making sure to point her world-famous posterior right at him (and us too!).

  • Although Jennifer flashes a bit of tit in The Good Girl (2002) in The Break-Up, Jen gave the crack up.
  • See the full-screen DVD of The Break-Up for the best rear view of Jen. The widescreen edition cuts off some vital cheek footage.
  • “There's something liberating about walking around completely nude," Jennifer said. "I am comfortable being naked.”

  #49 Chloë Sevigny nude in The Brown Bunny (2003)

  (1:21) Chloë drops to crotch level in front of Vincent Gallo, orally expressing deeply penetrating passion in a manner that’s way more than a mouthful. Their love is hardcore!

  • Chloë’s open-mouth acceptance of Gallo’s pole is the most sexually explicit act ever in a commercial film with a mainstream Hollywood actress.
  • The Brown Bunny ignited controversy when Roger Ebert proclaimed it the worst film he had ever seen.

  • Lizzy played Sara on Freaks and Geeks. She then hit the big screen in Mean Girls (2004) and Cloverfield (2008).

  (2:17) While arguing with Matthew Modine, Julianne wears a long white shirt that, fantastically, is not quite long enough to cover her luscious red muff. She also turns several times to show off her pinchably pink tush.

  • Pants-down, this is the greatest bottomless-only scene in all of cinema.
  • Julianne’s repeated revelation runs an astonishing two and a half minutes.

  • Angel Heart initially earned an X rating.
  • Director Alan Parker also oversaw the all-star nakedness of Lara Flynn Boyle, Bridget Fonda, and Camryn Manheim in The Road to Wellville (1994).
