Which Decade is Dirtiest?

Apparently it's not just Mr Skin who remembers Clara Bow's nude scene in Wings.

A new website called Vintageerotica.com offers over 1500 hours of hardcore porn grouped by decade beginning with the year 1910 and going up into the Reagan years.

Now practically everyone can jerk off to skin-flicks from the decade in which he was born!

The sight is filled with explicit loops featuring couples, threesomes and orgy scenes engaging in ever kind of anal, oral, and vaginal intercourse imaginable in grainy black and white and garish grindhouse color.

Vintage isn’t just for Aerosmith T-shirts anymore!

Joe Papp’s esteemed Public Theater in New York City let its freak flag fly – and its tie-dyed costumes hit the stage floor – with the debut of Hair, the “American Tribal Love-Rock Musical”, on this date in 1967.

Aside from a songbook that produced such mega-hits as the title song and "Age of Aquarius", Hair chronicled the ’60s counter-culture with all the necessary flourishes: flower-power, psychedelia, free love, and live nude singers and dancers.

After several stop-and-start stagings, Hair turned on Broadway audiences in 1968, and ran for 1,742 performances at the Biltmore theaters.

The show was revived numerous times and performed by countless groups all over the world. In 1979, Milos Forman directed the movie version of Hair, which features totally groovy nudity (especially in a PG-rated film) from Beverly D’Angelo, along with Nell Carter and Charlotte Raye shaking their groove things in a most mind-expanding manner.

Number 31: Janet Leigh

In the annals of fright films, there is a time before Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960), and there’s all the scary stuff that came in its hacking, bleeding, cross-dressing, corpse-keeping aftermath.

Janet Leigh, as blonde schemer Marion Crane, is as much a key element of Psycho’s classic status as Anthony Perkins in the role of Mama’s Boy anti-hero Norman Bates and the Master of Suspense himself.

Without Janet’s hair-raising howls and daring bare body shots (click the pic to see her nude), there would be no Psycho shower scene, and without that shower scene the world be a much less frightening -- and sexy -- place.

So here’s to you, Naked Scream Queen #31 Janet Leigh. Thanks for scaring us stiff and right into the shower for nearly half-a-century. And thank you, too, for your very lovely daughter (more on her coming up...).

Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni revolutionized world cinema in 1960 with L’Avventura, the sensual story of a woman who disappears shot in a radically original style.

That same year, Antonioni also helmed La Notte, another remarkable success. It hardly seems a coincidence that both of these breakthroughs contained female nudity.

However, Antonioni truly broke open skinternational possibilities with the swinging London mystery Blow Up, which showcased name starlets -- Vanessa Redgrave and Jane Birkin, to be precise -- in amazing, taboo-shattering states of undress. The result was a critically hailed masterwork and global box-office blockbuster.

Philadelphia native Arthur Penn, who electrified cinema in 1967 as few filmmakers ever have by directing Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in Bonnie and Clyde, was born on this date in 1922.

With its unprecedented violence and romantic anti-heroes, Bonnie and Clyde revolutionized what was possible in Hollywood -- and not the least of that was sex and nudity.

For Arthur Penn, that prospect climaxed with Night Moves, wherein teenage Melanie Griffith bares lip-smacking labia-and-anus-intensive back-burger during a skinny dip.

On this date in 1969, it was -- as junk-rocker Jim Carroll would later croon -- too late if you were in love with Sharon Tate.

The luminous fair-haired Texan who had starred in Valley of the Dolls and The Fearless Vampire Killers happened to be in the wrong groovy Los Angeles pad on the wrong hazy night, when the knife-wielding minions of larger-than-death psycho Charles Manson embarked on a massively lethal “creepy crawl.”

Sharon Tate was torn from life tragically, and too early. Fortunately, her film work will live forever. Especially the nude stuff. See more after the jump.
