The Tin Drum (1979)

You may not think a German war drama would provide a good time, but The Tin Drum (1979) offers enough skin to accomplish that task. Also known as Die Blechtrommel, this R-rated pic is based on the novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Gunter Grass. The story begins in the 1920s when Oskar Matzerath (David Bennent) is born with a fully-developed intellect in Danzig, a town that is divided between Germans and Poles. On his third birthday, Oskar is given a tin drum and a wish. After witnessing the Nazis rise to power, the precocious protagonist decides not to grow up. The onset of World War II pushes the odd child to scream and pound incessantly on his cheap toy drum, a noisy protest against his community’s passivity. What an adorable kid! What’s even more adorable is seeing Daniel Olbrychski in the buff. As Jan Bronski, the skintastic actor sheds his threads during a hook-up with a svelte chick 43 minutes into the flick. As such, we can glance at Mr. Olbrychski’s bare chest and tighty whites. Once he removes his briefs, we get to see his bare booty. How cheeky! If that’s not hot enough, Daniel steams up the screen when he reveals his peen! In other words: while Oskar pounds his drum, Dan will have you beating off! Perhaps that’s why the box office smash won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. It also received the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival as well as Mr. Man’s Palme d’Organ!
