Started doing Letterboxd reviews. Here's my review of the short film 'Naturallement':

A ★★★½ review of Naturally (2002)

An interesting exploration into a woman learning to accept herself and accepting that her prejudice against nudity may be unfounded. Quite enjoyed this film.

And these are the nudist-adjacent films.

Of course, this isn't complete either. As I find more, I'll add them.

Here's the rest of the fiction list and the non-fiction list. I've still got loads to add to both lists though.

Because headings are cut off, it's my rating, IMDb, TMDB, Letterboxd, then RYM. These have yet to be updated (working on that).

Also, 'Aqua Nudes' now has a TMDB page. Because the release year is unknown, it can't have ratings on IMDb.

If something has 'N/A', that means it either doesn't have a page, or, not enough ratings. I am adding stuff to IMDb and TMDB when I can.

Nudism on Screen @nudistfilm.bsky.social · Sep 7

So, I've got this list of ratings for nudist and nudist-adjacent films, that I'm working on updating. Before I finish updating it, here's the first couple of ratings, before and after updating.

I've included the IMDb, TMDB, Letterboxd & RYM ratings, as accurate as this morning.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it isn't contributing to stereotypes and misinformation. They could've made it comical without making an entire community the end of their joke.

Found this online today. An on-set photo of Sandra Sinclair, taken by the legend that is Bunny Yeager.

Photo was taken on the set of Doris Wishman's 'Gentlemen Prefer Nature Girls', which was filmed at Sunny Palms Lodge.

Didn't realise that Michael Winner, director of 'Some Like It Cool', is THE Michael Winner.

Making me reconsider wanting to see it, but, not like he can gain from it, he's been dead since 2013.

Awful guy, he was.

Also, patronising "well done, good job" to anyone who can name these 2. Both women starred or appeared in numerous nudist films in the 60s.

(B+W photo from an issue of 'Eden', and other is from 'Naked and Unashamed')

Was going to do a quiz on Discord at some point where people would have to guess which nudist film a screenshot is from.

So... can you guess which nudist film this screenshot is from?

And no prizes to anyone who guesses right (except for a patronising "well done, good job").

'Lepota Poroka' maybe focused too much on the nudity as part of the plot, but, largely still good (I think).

I do think stuff could be more interesting, by showing a variety of activities, and maybe a bit more diversity (don't know how diverse 1980's Montenegro was, so won't fault it too much).

Nudism on Screen @nudistfilm.bsky.social · Jul 29

...comic. And that's background nudism. Basically, the nudist stuff in the background of shots, panels, stuff like that.

I like that the nudity is just there. Nothing drawing attention to it. It simply exists. 'De Patrick' I think, largely, managed to do that with stuff in the foreground too.

Watched 'Lepota Poroka' the other day. Was ok, didn't understand 90% of it (most of it is Serbo-Croatian, with a bit in English). Will do a more in detail post about it later, but, for now, wanted to talk about something I really liked, that I liked in 'De Patrick' too. And in a 'Gen13 Bootleg'...

Although, heard that 'Carry On Emmannuelle' is supposed to be really bad. To the point it basically killed the franchise for a while (and there was only 1 after).

Nudism on Screen @nudistfilm.bsky.social · Jul 29

Actually have a BTS photo of 'Nudist Paradise'.

Also have all the 'Carry On' films. Wasn't impressed with the first one, didn't get any of the jokes (too old for me to understand), but, 'Carry On Columbus' was ok. Those 2 and 'Camping' are the only ones I've seen.

Nudism on Screen @nudistfilm.bsky.social · Jul 29

I've actually got both 'Carry On Camping' and 'Nudist Paradise'. Because the only actual rep of nudism in 'Carry On Camping' is actually from 'Nudist Paradise', I'd probably not include it on the tier list.

'Nudist Paradise' though, that'll be on at some point.

I have no issue buying it, if 1) I had space, and 2) I was doing reviews that made money or something. And if the person/company profiting off of it is evil/bigoted, then I'd rather not buy it. Unless it's second hand.

...were involved with 'Champagne & Bullets' (aka 'Geteven', aka. 'Road to Revenge, aka. that one with the "Shimmy Slide"). Tereza did make-up, Michael had a small acting role.

Gosh, I need to see that movie (if you can call it that).

Really need to check out 'Nude Bowling Party' though. Ivan Raimi and Scott Spiegel are in it, for some reason. And Paul Hart's the editor (usually assistant editor to Bob Murawski). So a bunch of Sam Raimi associates involved. And, Tereza Nelson and Michael Gaglio do the make-up & hair. Both...

Interestingly enough, found out about Bill Osco, because of another nude bowling thing. 'Nude Bowling Party'. Jason Williams (the director) worked on 'Alice in Wonderland', and some other stuff with Bill.

I've down some weird rabbit holes (not an 'Alice' reference).

Both of them are real pieces of work, for sure.

...and used it for the hardcore version of his 'Alice in Wonderland' porn. Also tried to convince another actor to sleep on his hotel room, otherwise she wouldn't be paid, but, because her boyfriend was a famous porn actor, she was able to convince him to not do anything sexual.

Feel sorry for the women in 'The Art of Nude Bowling', to have to work with Bill Osco, and possibly Ron Jeremy. Both are sex offenders. Ron's got loads of cases against him (but was declared unfit for trial due to declining health). Bill forced Kristine DeBell to perform sexual acts on him...

'Monster at Camp Sunshine' being 2nd's an interesting choice. I need to find a copy of that, SWV didn't have that on digital.

Nudism on Screen @nudistfilm.bsky.social · Jul 23

I'm definitely interested in looking for more clips, but, I'm not buying the film. If there's stuff on YouTube, I'll look at it.
