I really enjoyed Dancing at the Blue Iguana. That movies is (almost) spot on for most of the clubs I've worked at. You can also pick those character archtypes and plunk them down in a movie like "Clerks" or "Casablanca" (not saying that those movies used the same type of charaters, just saying that the archtpyes would slip right into either of those movies).
I think a lot of dancers and/or stripclub staff feel that the movie makes them look bad, but those charaters are very typical of most strip clubs. It took me a while before I started noticing the cast of charaters in EVERY club I've worked at, right down to lonely old guy and the benevolent manager.
Where the story really diverged from reality were the stage scenes of customers throwing gobs of cash. Okay, that did happen at one time, but not since 9/11.
