Creating a list such as this is quite an honorable thing to do. my question is where is the line drawn for artistic nudity and how does american views differ from european views. Why isnt there a large number of marraiges ending in Europe. Could the problem be that nudity is such a white elephant and so forbidden that it drives men (mostly) to become addicted to such material.

Welcome to you my friend :)

It doesn't matter whether it is artistic nudity or not. Lust is a sin, and it is a sin whether you are American or European or African.

I made the list for people who feel the same way.

I don't think I'd call Playboy a mainstream magazine.

Ok - playboy is definitely a mainstream magazine. It has more monthly then subscriptions a "mainstream" magazine like say... Newsweek or ... Men's Health. Playboy has more than 2.6 million monthly subscribers in the United States, not to mention the rest of the world.

Here's the problem with your argument: even if you feel strongly that Lust is a sin, you have already made up your mind that all nudity in film, leads to lust. For many, it does matter whether or not nudity is artistic or not. I can see a nude human form in an artistic manner and not have it lead to feelings of lust. I would argue that it is not the nudity that causes lust but the will and mind of the viewer. There are those with weak minds that are easily tempted and lead astray toward lust, and there are those of us who can view an image of a perfectly natural human form and appreciate it for its artistic beauty, and if nothing else, admire whatever devine intervention played a part in shaping that form.

Nothing against your site though - obviously you made it for people who think like you - I just think it would do you a bit of good to take a deeper look at the REASON you dislike nudity in film. It seems to me that if your main concern is nudity leading to lust, which for the sake of argument we'll call a sin, that you might want to take a look at yourself and ask if it is the nudity you're afraid of, or the way in which YOU and your body interpret and respond to that nudity. Maybe we as viewers are to blame and not the movies themselves. A little more open-mindedness might change some of that.

Mostly I just think you're missing out on a lot of really amazing films.

thank you thank you thank you thank you :) I adore this site, I wish I had of known about it sooner. Some of you other people may think this site a dumb idea for some reason but I know that if I just want to sit down and watch a movie with my husband I HATE if it has nudity in it. It ends up wrecking the whole movie and is just a completly bad experience all together. Call me jelous... and I probably am but I really really dislike the fact that it feel like almost all movie producers feel the need to force us to look at miss perfection`s stupid naked self if we want to watch anything thats not made by Disney. Uuurg. Anyway thanks again, you are my hero!

*keisha* 01-08-2010 03:31 PM

just wondering where the movies that start with numbers would be? (such as 2012?)

jamesglewisf 01-08-2010 04:24 PM

Spell it -- Two Thousand...

jamesglewisf 01-08-2010 04:31 PM

And thanks for the feedback. I need to get the thing back up to date.
