10 Famous Movies That Sold Themselves On Boobs Alone

7. Eyes Wide Shut

Yes, it's Stanley Kubrick, and no one should ever accuse one of the greatest directors in the vast history of cinema for making a film with a motivation that's even incidentally related to creating boners, but... c'mon. That whole "journey of moral discoveries" seems pretty secondary to the sparkly masks and sensual orgies, doesn't it? All right, all right. Maybe it's not ALL about the nudity, but when so much of your movie's plot is so tied into the rampant sexual fantasies of Nicole Kidman and the hedonistic odyssey of her relationship with Tom Cruise, it basically leaves your marketing team no choice but to advertise this as Don't Close Your Eyes Because In One Scene There Is a Literal Circle of Boobs. Since this is very much a Kubrick film, though, there is plenty to feast on visually that doesn't involve nipples. And upon repeat viewings, fans will surely notice some of the director's quirks and Easter Eggs that went over their head the first time. But the reason they missed those things in the first place...? (Hint: It's nipples.)
