Nudity and Undress
This is a genuinely odd mix united less by story than by moments of exposed skin sitting inside otherwise disparate genres—teen bodies in Palo Alto and Prom Night, ensemble flesh in Women in Love and Hair, exploitation cheesecake in Killer Workout and All American Bikini Car Wash, and the queasier, weaponized nudity of Frontier(s) and Spider Baby. Across comedies, horrors, dramas, and cartoons alike, bodies are put on display for reasons ranging from liberation to comedy to menace, making undress itself the connective tissue rather than any shared mood or message.
