5. The Man Who Fell To Earth
For Bowie fans, Nicolas Roegs surreal sci-fi follow up to the eclipsing Dont Look Now is rife with trivia for the genius musician. The Man Who Fell To Earth inspired two of his album covers; Low is the films poster and Station To Station comes from the most iconic scene in the film. But it also houses something more shocking; the film shows him completely naked. Who is better than a Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie to play an alien? With fully orange hair and white skin, he already fills the part, which makes it truly shocking when we get to see him in au naturel; all sticky skin and cat eyes, with smoothed over genitals. But while Roegs inspired creature design is certainly a marvel, its not this nakedness were highlighting here. Near the end of the film things aren't going too great for Bowies Newton (his extra terrestrial origins have been discovered and the poor guys been experimented on), he rediscovers an old flame, leading to a raucous sex scene. Nakedness in sex scenes is fairly common, although not as much as youd expect, but this places on the list due to their clearly being no body double; its David-frickin-Bowie.
