Excepting porn movies of course.
I think a lot of movies have gratuitous nudity, meaning that it could have been released without nudity and it wouldn't really change much. If the nudity had been left out, I don't think people would be calling for it - movie reviews wouldn't have people voicing their disappointment in the lack of nudity. (Except in a meta sense of "I wish Raquel Welch had got naked!" - not in the sense that the movie as filmed was flawed because of it.)
Then there are movies where it is definitely integral to the plot, and the absence of it is conspicuous.
I think that the movie version of Robert A. Heinlein's "The Puppet Masters" was ruined by a lack of nudity. There were alien parasites that could hide under people's shirts, but everyone kept wearing shirts. The book had people stripping down, but the movie didn't barely addressed the issue. It was simply ludicrous. Granted that movie had other problems as well, but that was a pretty central issue.
Thoughts?
