Grandma With Lots of Make Up in Funny Movies
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.

The number of ski-sightings and breast sightings 'mount-up' at an even clip. A guilty pleasure. Tracy Smith and the similarly beautiful Shannon Tweed provide the eye-candy, and Patrick Houser provides the terrible performance on and off the slopes.

This is one of the better films on the list, and to be quite honest, it's not good. That said, the story and the acting are better than most of these sex-romps. A couple of decent performances highlight this Mexicana-coming-of-age-romp starring a young, naive Tom Cruise AND Jackie Earle Haley.

Perhaps the most recognized entry, but it's not the best. Porky's underlying 'serious' subplots would later re-appear in many sex romps, like Losin' it, Fraternity Vacation, Last American Virgin, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and many, many more. Porky's, at the very least, is a strong entry for the genre, and marks one of the first to carry the 'heavy' subplots with any effectiveness.

Suffered from sequel'itis', even though it really wasn't all that bad. As raunchy, and nearly as funny as the original. Average sex-romp. Perhaps the first and only romp to tackle racism.

Fairly entertaining. Sort of a raunchier, lower brow "Weekend at Bernies". Stars Johnny Depp in his first major role. Not too bad. The first half of the film is harmless fun, but the film wanes a bit down the stretch.

Loads of partying. The acting is awful. One of many wet t-shirt contest-containing flicks on the list. Low production values, but still captures the 'essence' of the subject matter. A commendable Beer-surplus add's quite a bit for the target demographic. Decent. Falls somewhere in the middle of the list.

Probably in the top 10 of the 70-some-odd films on this list. There are some hard-hitting subplots, passable acting, and great visuals from the era. A tasty slice of cheese. The film has the best soundtrack of all-time. Bold claim? Tell me I'm wrong.

Not much needs to be said. One of the best films on the list. "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Dice". Shot in Spanktavizion. Came out a couple weeks after Last American Virgin, and really plays out many of the same sub-plots, making one wonder, "is this the original Fast Times", or was "Last American Virgin" the film that should have had the cult-following/popularity. Judge Reinhold was the only one getting his rocks-off to Phoebe Cates at the house-pool - not by a long-shot.

Tim Matheson gives one of the best comedic performances on the list. The dean tells the group of failing misfits,"You're not at the bottom of the list, you ARE the bottom of the list". Catchy music from Cheap Trick in a film that is genuinely entertaining throughout. Good sleeper for any genre.

Great unsung lead performance. This film takes its' beer drinking as seriously as its' boob-watching. This was the last of the truly classic sex-romps - they would never return to the same form again. Marshak is my hero, and I don't even ski. Judging from the stunt doubles, he doesn't either.

A dash of horror, and an attempt to clean it up so to speak, but this is a sex-romp at heart. Jim Carrey shows some of the early spark that would lead to his future success. Not a great movie, but a good look at a young, physical comedian in his first leading role.

There were many horror films that might have marginally qualified for the genre, but this was the only one that I thought truly belonged on the list. Once bitten is more of a comedy than a horror - so this is the only true horror film on the entire list.

This is actually one of the better films on the list. Don't get me wrong, it's not great, but definitely passable in nearly every regard. Hershberger is decent and his father(Bob Basso) is great.
