Let's be honest. Most of these movies are pretty bad. Many featured big stars in some of their earliest(if not first) roles(Cruise, Robbins, Depp, Hanks, Carrey, Etc). In the end, they were nothing more than invites for underage kids to rent R-Rated movies: Pause, Rewind, Repeat. Renting R-Rated movies was easier than getting into one in the '80s.



These 'sex-romps' did carve out their own little genre - especially from '82 to '86. That's part of what made 1990's "Ski School" such a delight. It was a throwback from the mid-80's. I know it's out of the time-frame by a couple years, but it belongs on here.



Nearly every movie on here save "Weird Science", "Just One of the Guys", "The Woman in Red", and "Once Bitten" are R-Rated with plenty of Nudity, but I thought those films belonged because of their heavy use of sexual themes, and because of when they were released. The Woman in Red is the only PG or PG-13 film that I know of that has full-frontal nudity(however quick it may be). :) Look ma, no more hairy palms.



Some flicks were left out for other reasons: "Summer of '42" for time-frame, "Oddballs" for cleanliness(and general "terribleness"), and all the new-age sex-romps like, "The Girl Next Door", or "Bachelor Party 2", even though both are great examples of the sub-genre. Everything on this list falls from '79 to '90. I'm going to keep it that way. I'm always on the lookout for stuff I missed. The list contains only films that I have seen, so if you have any suggestions, leave a comment.
