    Default Stripping/lapdance scenes in movies?

    What movies with strippers/stripclubs/dancers have you watched? Are there any characters or scenes that come to mind specifically?


    When I just started dancing I rented movies from Netflix that had anything to do with stripclubs, strippers, dancers, etc., to get familiar with performing, and see how it was portrayed in film. Some are better than others.
    I watched:

    1. Flashdance
    2. Dirty Dancing
    3. Carmen Electra's "The Lap Dance"
    4. Live Nude Girls Unite!
    5. Grindhouse: Deathproof
    6. Striptease: World's Famous Strip Artists
    7. Striptease
    8. Closer


    Ok Vanessa Ferlito's lapdance for Kurt Russell in Deathproof? Not very good. I guess she had to do it in flipflops, but her body moved kind of stiffly (too choreographed?) and I thought her rhythm was awkward. I didn't really like the rest of the movie much either.

    The stripclub scene in Flashdance was surprisingly negative- the part where Jennifer Beals' best friend starts working at a nude bar and Jennifer comes in to "save" her?

    I didn't really understand the type of place that the Jennifer character was dancing in either.

    The intro to the other part of Grindhouse....Planet Terror, was not bad:

    that stripper loses her leg later and at one point replaces it with a machine gun, which is, let's face it, pretty cool.

    How about Salma Hayek rocking the schoolgirl outfit in Dogma?

    I've seen too many to remember. The bad part is that I never kept track of which I have seen, and then I end up re-renting them. Most of them are really not impressive though... as a matter of fact I simply haven't found one that I liked yet. I've seen everything mentioned above plus Stripperella (cartoon), Stripped, Striptease Series: Pole Work, Striptease Series: Advanced Pole Work & Fire, Urban Striptease Aerobics, Jeff Costa's Cardio Striptease Workout, Strip to It: Core Moves & Fantasies, The Strip Game (with Method Man),

    Plus a TON of videos on burlesque:
    - Striptease: The Greatest Exotic Dancers of All Time
    - Goodbye Burlesque
    - Lady of Burlesque
    - Hollywood Burlesque / Peek-A-Boo
    - Tease-o-rama

    I don't remember what else... a lot of movies on both though!

    Great thread and thanks for posting the scene from death proof. Not to be arguementative,but i thought that lap dance scene was hot> i think the point is that vanessa ferlito's character is not a professional dancer as opposed to rose mcgowan's character in planet terror. I adore grindhouse and saw it several times in the theatre and bought the soundtracks...anyhoo i admire elizabeth berkley's dancing in showgirls though the movie is not a favorite of mine(the sex scene in the pool looks more like grand mal seizures...)and at the time when i first saw striptease,i thought demi looked more like a wrestler than a striper...which stripping movie do other dancers think is closer to their own experience> i've never seen a movie capture the whole drink/champagne lounge hustle> maybe one of us show write as realistic screenplay,eh?

    there's a movie called "yellow" about a puerto rican (if i recall correctly) ballerina who moves to new york and gets a job at a strip club. pretty entertaining.
    "If she wants to dance and drink all night, well there's no one that can stop her. She's going til the house lights come up or her stomach spills onto the floor. This night is gonna end when we're damn well ready for it to be over, worked all week long, and now the music is playing on our time. Yeah we do what we do to get by, and then we need a release!" - Against Me!, "Thrash Unreal"

    reminds me of that Japanese movie, Machine Girl. I wonder which came first.

    I just saw The Wrestler, which has Marisa Tomei as a dancer. I thought it was a reasonable portrayal- they show her onstage, hustling and performing a lapdance. Great movie, incidentally!

    it looks too bloody for me. I bet Tarantino has seen it. Actually, i'm SURE Tarantino has seen it, considering that Grindhouse he made...

    Salma Hayek should totally be a stripper! She's even willing to humour the pervy foot fetishist that is Quentin Tarantino...
