Private School (1983)

Title: Private School
Released: 1983
Genre: Comedy / Romance
Runtime: 106 min
Country: USA
Language: English

Tagline:You won't believe what goes on and what comes off in ... Private School

Comments: If you're looking for gratuitous T&A, this is one of the best of all time. Betsy Russell in this movie might quite possibly be the most stunning performance by any actress ever. Her bareback horseriding scene, the seduction scene, and the stained clothes so I better take them off and let them soak scene are all nothing short of awe inspiring. Add that to a bunch or other bombshell schoolgirls walking around naked (the shower scene is just... wow), plus the fact you've got Phoebe Cates staring and I don't know what more you could ask for in this type of movie. Plotwise it's also pretty amusing with many laugh out load moments (although it's hard to stay focused on that with what you're looking at).

Scene Description: Betsy Russell seen here removing her shirt and riding around topless on a horse and bouncing a lot.
