No actual nudity, but my best friends father thought it would be a great idea to take two 9-yr old boys to see “Alien” at the theatre in 1979. Aside from the trauma of the chest-burster scene, there was also Sigourney Weaver in her underwear near the end, if that counts...

Oh, wait...I thought it came out later, but I actually saw Animal House the prior summer at a drive-in. I think my parents completely misinterpreted the ad campaign and had no idea what it was about.
They also took us to a double feature of “Grease” and “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart’s Club Band.” Yes, the godawful Bee Gees movie. Yes, the one with George Burns as Mr. Kite.
Good grief. I completely forgot that it also featured both Aerosmith and Steve Martin.
And yes, that’s Donald “Halloween” Pleasence in the thumbnail.
It could’ve been worse... “Can’t Stop the Music” with the Village People wouldn’t come out until a year later...
