Bachelor Party is almost without question the worst movie I've ever seen to the end. Not a single joke landed, it fricking sucks. 0/10

It’s quite awful, coming from an 80s nostalgia freak.

Meatballs

I had a good rant on that one a few months ago. That movie is pretty insane looking back. Like, criminally bad.

Bachelor Party is the purest example of a movie that I simply can't believe anyone who defends has watched within 20 years, maybe 30. It's that bad. By raunchy 80s sex comedy standards it is still very, very bad.

It's funny you mentioned Meatballs because I've held off on rewatching it for a few years thinking there was no possible way it was any good.

Another good T&A Raunchy flick from the late 70's-early 80's was "Squeeze Play"

I happened upon it on TV and vaguely remembered the premise.

I would say it’s good viewing for the sake of how bad it is in many ways, including the abject immorality (and often in the context of teens even children), failed laugh attempts and cringy “heart warming” scenes.

Definitely not raunchy, but I remember she and Ann-Margret showed the goods in A Tiger's Tale.

I don't remember much of the plot, but I seem to remember a buddy and watched Pretty Smart with Tricia Leigh Fisher and Patricia Arquette a ton n VHS in the late 80s. The scene I remember most is the students at this all girls school are topless sunbathing on a roof and handing out circular bandaids to keep their nipples from burning.

While there certainly were some memorable scenes in the films that have been mentioned, the correct answer is (drum roll) .... (Opening envelope) .... "Leidenschaftliche Blümchen"! (German, released 1978). Or is there a separate Best Raunchy Foreign Film Category?

The film, a/k/a "Passion Flower Hotel" and "Boarding School", depicts schoolgirls intent on losing their virginity, featuring a cast comprised of well, actual schoolgirls. Those silly Europeans with their liberal sensibilities! Includes Nastassja Nakszynski (a/k/a Nastassja Kinski) (who the next year starred as an English girl sans German accent in Roman Polanski's "Tess", which won three Academy Awards), and also Miss Teen Italy Fabiana Udenio, who twenty years later would share a hot tub with Austin Powers as "Alotta Fagina".

The film was released domestically in 1983 and grossed a whopping $306,000 (I suspect probably in drive-in theaters). Don't think any of the films mentioned could be made these days. It was a different era, when porn was not available in homes, titillation sold tickets, and sexism was still common.

As for OPs offerings, I would agree that Animal House and Caddyshack have maintained more watchable entertainment value than any of the others.
