Our Staff Picks column is a new addition that takes you back to a time when video stores reigned supreme and the "Staff Picks" section was the place to find out what films were worthy of one's time. Of course, our version has a decidedly nude angle, as we suss out which films from a certain genre with great nudity. This week: sexy villains!
Let's welcome Spooky Season by talking about villains. Sometimes villains are hot...like really hot. These are just a few famous villains who have shown some skin and left us wanting more. Who knew that being bad could look so good?
The Power of the Dog
Jane Campion's modern masterpiece features a lot of gay characters. Yes, this is a gay villain, but he's so good (and he goes nude), so I'll allow it. Benedict Cumberbatch plays a rancher who decides to bully his brother's new wife - and he successfully drives her to develop a drinking problem. He simply will not let up on this poor woman!
He only lets his guard down to bathe nude and show his penis. This was the first time seeing Cumberbatch's cock and he had us all barking for more.
Fight Club
Tyler Durden is one of those characters we all know by name. Brad Pitt played him to perfection in 1999's classic film. While only Ed Norton goes nude in the film, Brad Pitt really taunts us with his cum gutters and his pants that are pulled down practically to the bush. He is SO hot when he gets sweaty in the center of the Fight Club. He is also worth talking about because this film is apparently about a man wrestling with his sexuality. So...is Tyler gay? I promise not to talk, Tyler!
A Clockwork Orange
Malcolm McDowell creeped us all out immensely in Stanley Kubrick's classic adaptation of A Clockwork Orange. His character Alex is terrifying. He runs a violent gang of hooligans in a vague future who don't seem to care about the consequences of their actions.
When he goes to prison, he gets inspected by some British officers who want to see what's in all of his crevices. That means they inspect his asshole and we get to see his shaft.
American Psycho
Patrick Bateman is another villain name who became a famous reference. Christian Bale plays a sadistic Wall Street psychopath named Patrick Bateman who likes to get money and get women. He famously checks out his own hot body when he is banging a babe in front of a mirror. That's the kind of guy he is - he's hot and he knows it.
Labyrinth
This 80s film is a total classic with Jim Henson's muppets surrounding this fantastical adventure. The best part is definitely The Goblin King. Jareth the Goblin King stuffed his cock in skintight pants and sang a fun (and seductive) song. David Bowie played the king and he never goes nude (it is a kind of family-friendly movie, after all), but we see that bulge. That bulge is worth talking about!
The Fly
Jeff Goldblum helmed this 80s remake of The Fly in which he played the mad scientist who accidentally crosses his genes with a fly's. He then slowly transforms throughout the film. Is he totally a villain? Not in the same way as, say, Patrick Bateman. That being said, he isn't necessarily a hero. He is a hero for showing that ass though!
