Robert De Niro in 1900


'The epic tale of a class struggle in twentieth-century Italy as seen through the eyes of two childhood friends on opposing sides.'


Actor Robert De Niro is known for his acting skills more than his sex appeal, but the young De Niro certainly had a quality I find really hot.  Although he's shown his butt in a couple of films, his full frontal scene with GĂ©rard Depardieu in 1976's 1990 is a classic. 


Although I'd seen images and the clip a few times in the past, it wasn't until this year, I really watched the film and got the scene in it's full context.  Although Depardieu was no stranger when it comes to nude scenes, up until this film, De Niro hadn't really shown much on screen.


1990 is an Italian film, and I'm guessing one of the reasons De Niro agreed to the full frontal nudity was because of director Bernardo Bertolucci.   Beyond just having two actors nude together on scene, there's one moment in the scene where Neve, (Stefania Casini) the female in the threesome, puts De Niro's hand on Depardieu's penis.  No every mainstream actor would be up for that, in the 1970's, or even today.
