pointless nude scenes

The most pointless nude scenes are often topless girls in these teen comedies like American Pie, Porkys, as well as films like Police Academy and the like.etc.
You have unnamed characters that you dont see anywhere else in the film take their top off or more in the background. It's not even part of a comedy sequence. Other than titilation for hormonal teenagers why?
 
I'm not sure I agree with 'The Abyss' as it wasn't done in a titilating way and showed that there should be no modesty when trying to bring somebody back to life.

The one I do agree with is 'Open Water'. It was quite bizarre. I could understand it in a movie where they were showing how comfortable the character was with their body but with what was about to happen I don't think it added anything to the plot.

Saying that, she did have a nice body :)
 
Most Hammer films of the 70s must be prime candidates. Although, whilst you could argue that their boobathons were gratuitous in the sense of them not advancing the plot, they're not commercially gratuitous in the sense that they were why loaRAB of people went to see the films in the first place.
 
Aren't all nude scenes pointless except for a bit of titilation? I mean if the male and female leaRAB disappear off to the bedroom and the film cuts to the morning then everyone will have assumed some shagging took place with out actually showing it.

It's purely there to make films a bit more interesting, not that I'm complaining! Also I have a sneaking feeling that a lot of film directors are a bit pervy and love the power of getting a well known gorgeous actress strip in front of them for a scene, all under the guise of cinematic art.
 
Having just received the DVD from LoveFilm, I can confirm this post :)

They've also - helpfully - included the full length shower scene, 'uncut', as a standalone DVD extra.

And yes, it leaves nothing to the imagination ..



If it's the scene i'm thinking of, it would be more of a case of "mmmpphhhmmm mmmmmhhhmmmm" ..

(..what with her mouth being full 'n everything .. *cough*)
