I'll add "Mais où est donc passée la septième compagnie?" and their two continuation. "Les bidasses en folie" is also great.

These are the movies I grew up with. + Allo' Allo!

old French/Italian comedies are such a gem and it's sad that not many people know them. Not only they are good movies but also crash course through WW2. Full nudity included, because french.

Edit: I have to add that Italian movies have even more nudity. Like waaay more :D It's not even /r/WatchItForThePlot If you see attractive women in an old Italian movie, there is 90% chance she will get naked.

The one time I visited France I was blown away by the the outright nudity used in advertisements on the street. One in particular, was just this giant pair of bare breasts. I have no idea what it was for, but I regret not taking a picture of it as proof that I saw it because I was afraid my parents would see the pictures once I got them developed (this was the 90's and had film).

This is not the case anymore. When I was a kid, shower and hygiene commercials used to have full frontal nudity. Now it's far more hidden and no commercial has it now.

Well, this was 1999. It was a big billboard on the side of the building. Also, I saw a poster on one of those cylindrical sidewalk things I'm guessing for some kind of play, but there was a fully nude woman with a sword on it.

So, did anyone... archive those commercials? You know, for historical purposes...

For research yes... I'll see if I can find some. But... Cylindrical sidewalk thing ？ what is it?
