Where is Richard Gere!?!

I can't believe anyone would do a top 10 full male frontal moments in film list and fail to include "American Gigolo"!

Must include

What a great list, and these additions are all 'must includes'. Should have been the top fifteen of all time.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a beautiful film.

let's not forget

Tim's Robbins as he emerged from a spa bath in Altman's "The Player."

Didn't Bruce show his Willis in something?

I have some vague memory of him saying "If Demi can do it..."

(I invented and would like to popularize the above convention: Harvey's Keitel, Bruce's Willis, Jeremy's Irons... it ALWAYS works!)

No Jeremy Irons?

Watching Jeremy Irons' dong bop bop bop as he raced down the stairs at the climax (no pun intended) of Damage is all I remember from that film.

'E's not the Messiah, 'e's a very naughty boy...

Yes, Graham Chapman was out there in his full glory in Life of Brian. But so were Julian Sands, Rupert Graves, and Simon Callow frolicking in the pond scene in A Room with a View. And let's not forget the nude wrestling match between Alan Bates and Oliver Reed in Women in Love (censored shots linked below).

Personally, though, I'm with Elaine Benes: "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things."

Cocks are the holy grail of the evil children must never see

You'd probably see a lot more cocks in film if obscenity laws weren't so ambiguous. Cocks in popular media can attract a quick roasting in the pits of justice if something goes awry.

censored?

Why is the video version of this article censored? Isn't this the internet? Isn't this 2009?

Graham Chapman

How could you forget about the Life of Brian? And that was in 1979 fer god's sake, when that kind of thing Just Wasn't Done!
