Another good one - the pitch went like this - "We want to make a Jaws ripoff - AND show Jacqueline Bissett's hooters - what say you?"
It was actually another book by Peter Benchley and, aside from the brief eel appearance, isn't a monster movie. It's about ship salvage and drug smugglers. And boobs.

He also wrote The Island, which was made into a really underrated movie with Michael Caine and has one of the most satisfying endings of any movie I've ever seen.

And boobs.

shite, I'd totally forgotten about The Island.

I hate torture in films, probably why I blocked it from my memory.

I got the title for the thread from a line from one of the Hitchikers of the Galaxy book where a guy at a flying cocktail party was bragging about winning a "Rory" award for "The most gratuitous use of the word "Belgium" in a serious screenplay".


Adams is really underrated for bringing a very high level of writing, making it accessible, in a silly, Monty Pythonesque context, and yet still slip in things like this - that just turn over in your brain - years later.

Another one I remembered - Olivia Hussey in Romeo and Juliet. First pair many of us recall seeing, as it got slipped into junior high/high school English curriculums.

Yep, they actually took us on a field trip to the theater to see it. I guess it was viewed as "tasteful" like David or something, because it was Shakespeare.

Featuring Gianna doing some topless paragliding, Ashlynn Brooke getting chopped in half by a snapped cable (which conveniently cuts her top as well), and Kelly Brook and Riley Steele pretending to be nude mermaids. Not to mention all the wet t-shirt contests and flashing. Pretty much the definition of gratuitous.

Kelly McGillis's Amish boobs in "Witness".



Just in time for Harrison Ford to stare at'em.

Also, Susan Sarandon squeezing lemon juice over her breasts while Burt Lancaster peeks in 'Atlantic City'.

This was in 1980, so they were nice, fresh, young Susan Sarandon boobs. And they were SPECTACULAR.

For that matter, Susan Sarandon in Rocky Horror Picture Show - although the film would have been rated "R", regardless - seemed gratuitous at the time.

(And she looked like she had never slept, even back then in her 20s).

That scene was hilarious. I think I was flipping channels when I came across that movie and stopped in hopes of seeing Susan's breasts, and it's lemon time! With ol' Burt peeking away.

I was already familiar with her spectacular boobs from 1978's Pretty Baby.

Marissa Tomei in Before th Devil Knows Your Dead.

I told a dude who was at least 65 that she gets naked in it and he said at work with a fair amount of people around he was going to jerk off to the movie.

And before the haters chime in - NOT a body double.

Jessica Lange in King Kong was pretty gratuitous.

Shut your filthy whore mouth!

That movie had everything - giant gorilla, The Dude, Charles Grodin as a somewhat serious bad guy, Jessica Lange's boobs - very little of that was gratuitous.

(Okay - maybe the boobs - but well worth the price of admission. Boobs were few and far between back then - gals will pop them out with little provocation in the movies, today.)

Carla Gugino, Sin City

Dark film, unnerving psycho character on the run, and then oh hey, boobs! Awesome boobs as a matter of fact, and they're attached to a beautiful woman with an amazing arse who is strutting around holding a loaded gun.

First scene I thought of when I read the OP.

strangely that was one of the few movies from that era that I missed, I probably saw it 10 years later, when she had changed considerably, needless to say I was blown away by how hot a much younger Jessica Lange was.
