My favorite my not technically be a striptease but it is close enough. It is the scene at the swimming pool in "The Last Picture Show" where a very young Cybil Shepard has to strip naked on the diving board to gain admittance to the skinny-dipping party at her rich friend's house. This was a big turn on when I first saw it in the mid 70's and just as much so when I saw it again recently. The movie is also great and one of my top 10 of all time.
Great choice, Snowtime. IMO, that beats anything and everything on that list. Thanks to Doug for the link, but does unibrow mean having the memory of a fruitfly? Other than '9 1/2 Weeks' is any of those movies more than 10 years old? I guess Marlene Deitrich in 'Blue Angel' and Rita Hayworth in 'Gilda' just don't rate anymore now that we have the awesomeness of Demi Moore. My choice, although not strictly a striptease, was Jane Birkin and Gillian Hills in 'Blow-Up' losing their clothes in a romp at David Hemmings' swinging London bachelor pad/photo studio.
I have not gone to the website, so do not know if this is included. As a horny teenager, I saw Sophia Loren do a g-rated striptease in "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow." It remains about the hottest of its type I've ever seen. She lovingly reprised it in 1994 in "Ready to Wear."
How about "Body Double?" Practically the whole movie was one long strip tease act. A good one too. That and "9-1/2 Weeks" are the best that I remember. But I don't go to movies much anymore.
