Forty years ago today, February 8th, 1985, a romantic thriller and teen sex romp were released in theaters and turned what is normally not a big movie weekend into a day that will live in skin-famy!
Witness
Starring Harrison Ford, who was fresh off of his blockbuster turns in Return of the Jedi and Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom, this neo-noir set in an Amish community in Pennsylvania was released 40 years ago. It became a sleeper hit, no doubt helped by the fact that it contains the nude debut of actress Kelly McGillis, who would go on to star in another 80s cinema staple, Top Gun. Kelly’s cans are spotted as she sponges herself off, right as Harrison, and then the audience, catches a full-on look at her sans top.

Mischief
That same day, another Kelly was hitting the screen for her nude debut, only this Kelly goes all out and then some! Kelly Preston broke out of her clothes for the first time in this 1950s-set film about horny teens, and fans were feeling frisky right along with them, especially when Kelly takes off her bra, then goes bottomless, flashing fanny and even bush before getting into bed!

Witness ended up being the 6th highest-grossing movie of the year, while Mischief just made it into the top 100, but the late Ms. Preston is the clear winner when it comes to nudity! Watch both scenes below!
01:18:00 Han Solo spies Kelly's Amish apples when she bathes. That'll churn your butter! (51 secs)
00:57:48 Mrs. Travolta reveals her renowned rack, a bit of butt, and even a flash of furburger when she doffs her duds and gets ready for some lovin'. Outstanding! (3 mins 58 secs)
Rollerball
Since then, the only other movie with nudity to take on this day is this 2002 remake of Rollerball, which has brief breasts in the locker room from Kata Dobó, Alice Poon, Yolanda Hughes-Heying, and even the shadowy sucksacks of Rebecca Romijn.
