Here's the original film version of the Louis Pergaud novel Les Guerre des boutons, later remade in Ireland in 1995. Two bands of boys from nearby villages just can't get along, battle each other after school, remove the buttons of those they capture to humiliate their prisoners. As things escalate between them, can a common bound be found? If you prefer "modern" cinema, stick with the remake, but if you can appreciate a good-old original, make sure to check this one out. The two are quite similar, but there are a few differences which should interest any real "buff." (This description was borrowed from CVMC.)
Personally I preferred the remake of this movie (which I do not have any captures of). Between the poor quality of the picture, and reading subtitles, I found this version of the movie a little on the boring side.

This movie does contain a short series of nude scenes. At one point the side which the movie follows through the battles goes to battle in the nude to avoid losing any buttons or other articles of clothing. Most of the shots in these scenes are from the rear or side and at a distance. There is not true frontal nudity (see WarOfButtons6132.JPG above for the closest thing to frontal nudity).
