What is the most memorable nude scene you have seen in a movie? It does not have to be a positive memory--it can be a shocking or terrible memory -- maybe it was so traumatic that you had to push it deep into your subconscious in order to be able to sleep nights. Well, drag that repressed memory out and share it! :-)
Guidelines: No anime, porn, erotic(those late night ultra low budget movies--you know the ones!) flicks or home movies. The movie must have been originally a theatrical release -- not a straight to video release. Nude scene may be of male or female human.
To get the ball rolling, I'll reveal my selection:
Pretty Baby(1978), tub scene w/Brooke Sheilds, full frontal nudity.
This movie was in the -shocking- category. If you are not aware of why it is shocking, realize that when this movie was shot, Brooke Sheilds was somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-13 years old. The movie has several nude scenes, but that was (if memory serves) the most memorable since it was a surprise -- the first real nudity scene of the minor that they decided to show in the movie. This is the original version I refer to --- I came across this movie again sometime last year on one of the movie channels and they cut out the most *controversial* graphic part of the scene in question, but it still contained nudity. If you are aware of the plot/storyline of this movie, then I suppose the nudity was appropriate in order to knock home the effect. I make it clear that I am not endorsing, nor am I condemning the film. The nudity helped provide the *controversy* that the filmmaker was apparently seeking. But as far as nude scenes go, it *shocked* me sufficiently to enter it as most memorable. That's something that simply is not done(at least in U.S. released movies).

It's not exactly a nude scene, per say, but the sexiest scene I have ever viewed was Rachel Ward's backlit see-through dress when she got off the elevator in Sharky's Machine.
I think every guy in the theatre stopped breathing for two or three minutes...
Second place to Randy Brooks flashing Steve Martin in The Man With Two Brains.. Randy was a decent actress but her body was so great that Hollywood would never let her do much with clothes on.

Best Nude Scene- a man after my own heart! There are so many, but certainly the scene in Fast Times at Ridgement High where Judge Reinhold fantasies about the Phoebe Cates character getting out of the pool and taking her top off is a transcendental moment in American cinema. I'll also have to give a strong nod to Shannon Elizabeth's scene in American Pie & Heather Graham's "Roller Girl" character in Boogie Nights. You have to give Jennifer Connelly credit for guts for her girl on girl DP dildo scene in Requiem For A Dream, too- pretty over the top for a talented, mainstream actress. Lastly, I'd give a tie for the "Best Role to Break Out of their Teen Family Show Image Awards" to Lisa Bonet for Angel Heart & Elizabeth Berkley for Showgirls. Watching the sweet, pretty Cosby girl doing some voodoo dance wearing only a pail of chicken blood definately forever changes your image of Lisa Bonet (and it got her booted of the Cosby show, if I recall. And who knew watching Saved By The Bell that EB had such a raunchy flick in her!
Among the most disturbing nude scenes has to be the nude beach scene in Eurotrip! Blech! That's just wrong on so many levels.

Yeah -- I've never quite thought of Berkley in the same way after Showgirls. I know it's supposed to be a bad movie according to many -- but I've seen it at least 4-5 times.
