Best Known for the Fanservice/Film

Examples of Best Known for the Fanservice in Film include:

0-9

 * 10. Bo Derek runs in slow motion on the beach.
 * 1 Million Years BC is mostly remembered for the poster showing Raquel Welch in a Fur Bikini.

A-E

 * The Alphabet Killer: Pretty much a movie about Eliza Dushku's breasts.
 * Angel Heart was a twisted horror-noir movie staring Robert De Niro, Mickey Rourke, and directed by the guy who did Pink Floyd's The Wall. Not ringing any bells? How about the sex scene involving the daughter from The Cosby Show? Ok, now you remember.
 * Basic Instinct: Interrogation scene. Sharon Stone's leg moves. Basically that brief flash of flesh is the only thing most people remember from this film, something Stone has even admitted in an interview. There's a reason it's described as the film that ruined a million VCRs.
 * Black Swan: If the early hype was to be believed, it was about Mila Kunis having lesbian sex with Natalie Portman ... and something about ballet?
 * Blame it on Rio: Demi Moore was topless in it (yawn) and then Michelle Johnson . . . GOOD LORD SHE WAS FIFTEEN!!!
 * Blood On Satan's Claw is an extremely well-made and chilling British horror film from 1971. It is mostly remembered for two scenes, featuring future and past Doctor Who actors respectively.
 * The first is where Linda Hayden (as Angel Blake) tempts Anthony Ainley (as Reverend Fallowfield) with her naked body right in the church. Because he is (for once) one of the good characters, he turns her down.
 * The second is where Wendy Padbury is gang-raped and then killed by Angel's Satanic cult. Zoe fanboys often ignore the context of this scene and instead focus on a half-second of nipple.
 * Blown Away is an obscure thriller from 1992 only two groups of people will remember: Fans of "The Two Coreys" and fans of Nicole Eggert (who is naked for at least 20% of the movie).
 * The Blue Lagoon - though far less actual naughty bits were shown than people remember, thanks to judicious use of camera angles and Godiva Hair.
 * Bound, from the way some people talk about it, you'd think it was an hour and forty minutes of lesbian sex.
 * Brokeback Mountain was all about Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal having anal sex in a tent! And possibly some sheep.
 * Don't forget Anne Hathaway's boobies! (Which by the way was predated by a few years with a similar scene (also with Hathaway) in Havoc.)
 * The Brown Bunny probably had a plot, but mainly remembered as the film where Chloe Sevigny performs un-simulated fellatio on the writer/director/star.
 * Catwoman is remembered for being terrible and having Halle Berry in a really sexy leather costume. In that order.
 * Closer; Natalie Portman works in a strip club. That's pretty much all most people can remember.
 * Coraline was apparently 100 minutes of a fat woman's breasts. Can you people just get over it already?
 * It's difficult to think that ANYONE would have heard of Cruel Intentions 2 had it not been for the shower scene... but even that is pushing it, as those few people are very few and far between. The original Cruel Intentions is remembered for the lesbian kiss scene between Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair... which, interestingly enough, was in the novel the movie was based on. A novel written in the Eighteenth Century.
 * Dangerous Liaisons: Uma Thurman is 18 and topless.
 * Jacqueline Bisset. The Deep. Wet T-shirt.
 * That scene made "wet T-shirt" a household phrase, even among people who never saw the movie.
 * Don't Look Now might be a partial aversion. Its unusually long sex scene between Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie is memorable for being one of the most definitive in a mainstream movie. Even then, it doesn't quite match the impact of the conclusion.
 * The biggest selling point of Entrapment is the scene where Classy Cat Burglar Catherine Zeta-Jones squirms her ass under a laser tripwire.

F-J
"Hooker: Got a girlfriend? Me love you, long time."
 * Fast Times at Ridgemont High? That's the movie where the chick from Gremlins gets naked, right?
 * During the VHS era, many video rental stores reported tracking issues during Phoebe Cates' topless scene because people would rewind it and watch it over and over again.
 * Fanboys: Kristen Bell in the Leia costume..
 * From Dusk till Dawn: Salma Hayek as the stripper. You don't care about anything else in that movie, do you?
 * Although the sequels are known for a high degree of chainsaws and ass-kicking, the original The Evil Dead is best known for the bit where Ash's sister gets raped by a tree.
 * Including director Sam Raimi, who still regrets leaving that scene in the final cut.
 * Fight Club. Known by diehard fans as a funny, compelling and provocative dramedy about psychology, technology and consumerism. Remembered by most viewers for the fight scenes: male viewers for the thrill of guys beating the crap out of each other, female viewers for the sight of a shirtless, sweating Brad Pitt.
 * While Forgetting Sarah Marshall is still memorable for a variety of merits, it's rare for someone to have a conversation about it without mentioning Jason Segel's penis.
 * The only thing anyone seems to remember about the Friday the 13 th remake was the rather gratuitous sex scene halfway through.
 * Full Metal Jacket. The prostitute to the tune of These Boots Are Made For Walkin'.

"Goldstein: We're gonna watch The Gift on HBO. Supposedly Katie Holmes shows her titties in this movie!"
 * This movie also has the Bathroom shooting scene with Vincent D'Onofrio. Most people remember nothing beyond that scene and the one mentioned above.
 * Well, nothing beyond those two scenes and R. Lee Ermey's Drill Sergeant Nasty routine at the beginning of the film...
 * The Gift is all about a young Katie Holmes baring her breasts and yelling the F-word at some guy.
 * Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle lampshades this trope beautifully with an exchange between Rosenberg and Goldstein:


 * Gigli was supposed to be this. Someone thought it would be a good idea to put two of Hollywood's most fanservicy actors in one movie while getting by on an Excuse Plot. Unfortunately, it's now Best Known for being a colossal box office flop.
 * Grim Prairie Tales. Nobody remembers anything about it at all except for the unbirthing.
 * Goths and hippies may love Gypsy 83 for it's story and characters, but most everyone else just remembers Sara Rue's giant rack.
 * Sigourney Weaver's earlier thriller movie, Half Moon Street (about an academic who takes to escort work to pay for her PHD) is generally remembered for the fact she spends a great deal of it in the nude. One scene of a topless Sigourney on an exercise bike, tends to lodge in the mind.
 * Hours after the film of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows was released, all anyone talked about was the ghost images of Harry and Hermione getting naked and making out.
 * The Hidden with Claudia Christian as a stripper. Who somehow screws a guy to death.
 * Anyone remember The Darjeeling Limited? Heard of the short tie-in film Hotel Chevalier? No? It's the one where Natalie Portman gets naked onscreen for the first time. Now do you remember?
 * Hounddog consists solely of Dakota Fanning getting raped.
 * In Howling II, Sybil Danning rips her bodice open to expose her breasts, and this shot is shown repeatedly in the end credits montage. Roger Ebert's review nominated the repetitions of the shot as the movie's second and third interesting moments, though other viewers have counted more (repetitions, that is).
 * Irreversible likewise consists solely of a face being smashed in with a fire hydrant and a ten minute rape scene.
 * Even among those who haven't seen it, the horror film Jack Frost 1997 is known for the scene where the evil snowman rapes Shannon Elizabeth with his carrot-nose.
 * James Bond films are naturally prone to this:
 * Dr. No - Honey's bikini scene
 * Die Another Day - Halle Berry comes out of the water, which was a direct homage to the scene in Dr. No.
 * And GoldenEye's Femme Fatale that killed people with her thighs.
 * Barbara Carrera as Fatima Blush in Never Say Never Again..."Sign it!"
 * Casino Royale, adversely, may be best remembered for a scene of Daniel Craig in swim trunks. That man has no neck.
 * Probably because his creator only had a limited amount of inches of muscle and skin. So he put them to good use elsewhere.
 * And the torture scene. "Now the whole world's gonna know that you died scratching my balls!"
 * Love Is The Devil was about Daniel Craig without those trunks... and some painter.
 * Goldfinger, naked woman covered in gold Body Paint. This scene, as well as the interviews / directors cuts / pictures of the actress getting painted / etc etc single-handedly spawned an entire genre of porn.
 * And every credit sequence in the entire series. Hmm, what's that you say? The Supervising Art Director for GoldenEye was—HOLY CRAP A TWO-HEADED WOMAN WITH A GUN COMING OUT OF HER MOUTH! BOOBS AND EXPLOSIONS—oops, credit's gone. Darn.
 * Jennifer's Body: That's the movie where Megan Fox makes out with a Meganekko}} cute, nerdy]] chick, right? And... bites people?
 * A somewhat literal behind-the-scenes example with Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody. What detail about her never fails to get brought up by interviewers?
 * She can't write dialogue for shit?

K-O

 * The Kentucky Fried Movie is that movie with "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" and that sketch where the guys on the news watch a couple having sex (which starts when her bra comes off). There may've been other things too.
 * Labyrinth? That's the movie about David Bowie's crotch, right?
 * Don't knock it, it taught pre-teen girls some very interesting differences between males and females.
 * It's also about Jennifer Connelly dressed up as a princess in very flattering and form-fitting gowns at various moments.
 * The Last Picture Show was acclaimed by critics upon release. Today, it's remembered mainly for Cybill Shepherd's nude scenes.
 * Lifeforce: The naked space-vampire movie. (Oh, and Patrick Stewart is in it briefly.)
 * Lost Highway: If you can't get past the labyrinthine plot, you'll probably only remember Patricia Arquette's controversial forced-striptease scene at Mr. Eddy's house.
 * Lad magazines say that it's worth watching the angsty and depressing Melancholia just to see Kirsten Dunst naked.
 * The scene in Mischief where Kelly Preston goes full frontal to the strains of The Platters' "My Prayer". We dare anyone to come up with anything else about this movie (without Googling).
 * Moscow on the Hudson is "that movie where Maria Conchita Alonso is naked in the bathtub. Oh, and Robin Williams is there too.
 * Mulholland Drive apparently consists entirely of random weird stuff surrounding a hot lesbian make-out between Naomi Watts and Laura Harring. Except that really is all that happened.
 * "The Betsy" has a wonderful scene where Kathleen Beller slips off her clothes and takes a nude swim. I think there was a car in the movie but who remembers, or cares.
 * The Name of the Rose: James Bond is a crime-solving monk, and all everyone remembers is the hot peasant girl and the novice getting it on (it is, admittedly, a well-done sex scene).
 * The brutal and almost legendary death scene of Christina 'Tina' Grey from the original A Nightmare on Elm Street.
 * Not Another Teen Movie? Isn't that the movie where some dude comes out wearing only whipped cream, two cherries and a banana? No that's the one with the constantly naked foreign exchange student whose actress happened to be the same who played a Yellow Power Ranger.
 * Original Sin had a steamy sex scene between Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas near the beginning of the movie. Nobody really cares about what happened after that.

P-T

 * Paradise is a 1982 movie/shameless ripoff of The Blue Lagoon. There are only two reasons anyone remembers it: For the minority - it's Phoebe Cates' film debut (predating Fast Times at Ridgemont High by four months). For the vast majority - Phoebe Cates is naked at damn near every opportunity.
 * Perdita Durango is a barely-remembered 1997 film about a criminal couple who kidnap two people in an attempt to sacrifice them before they go on a mission. The only thing memorable about the film is a sequence where female supporting character Estelle (Aimee Graham) is tied up and raped by Romeo (Javier Bardem), and whether or not she enjoyed the experience.
 * The Piano is about Harvey Keitel showing off his hairy naughty parts. And Holly Hunter playing the piano on a beach.
 * When Piranha 3D was released in 2010 the underwater nude ballet scene quickly became the most famous thing about the movie, with the only competition from Jerry O'Connell's character getting his penis bitten off.
 * Powder Blue featured Jessica Biel's first nude scene. And, well, other stuff.
 * Push: Fourteen year old Dakota Fanning doing the Zettai Ryouiki thing.
 * Return of the Jedi was about Princess Leia in a metal bikini... and something about some teddy bears and there being a trap.
 * And for more evidence that the I Am Sam girl has grown up, watch The Runaways, which is basically about Fanning making out with Kristen Stewart.
 * The Seven Year Itch is remembered more for the publicity shot of Marilyn Monroe having her skirt lifted by a subway vent than any actual scene from the movie (or the play, for that matter).
 * Sherrybaby: Maggie Gyllenhaal spends a good portion of the movie naked (as opposed to Secretary, where she's only naked at the end), including one scene where she's just out of the shower. Anyone remember the plot to this thing?
 * Something about a druggie trying to get rid of her daughter, right?
 * Shock Corridor: Constance Towers's extended striptease isn't the only thing that sticks in your head, but it certainly is unforgettable.
 * Sirens. Full frontal nudity from many famous ladies (Elle MacPherson and Portia de Rossi, to name two). The dream scene in the lake is the one most folks remember.
 * S.O.B.: This satire on the nature of Hollywood should be remembered as William Holden's final movie. Instead most people remember it as the movie in which Julie Andrews appeared topless.
 * And Roseanna Arquette takes off her top.
 * Species was a pretty forgettable sci-fi horror film. The only reason anybody still remembers it is because the hot blonde in it spent a lot of time walking around naked.
 * Anybody remember anything about Splash that didn't involve Daryl Hannah naked?
 * In a PG-rated movie? In a Disney PG-rated movie?
 * Tom Hanks was in it (somewhere)?
 * The 2009 Star Trek movie was praised for re-creating a forty-year-old franchise. Most people will forget the imploding planets and tattooed Romulans in favor of the Good-Looking Privates. Who cares about alternate timelines when Kirk's making nigh-constant injury look sexy?
 * And the green chick and Uhura in their underwear.
 * Everyone remembers Straw Dogs for three reasons:
 * Susan George gets raped and likes it.
 * Giant beartrap.
 * Dustin Hoffman going batshit crazy.
 * Swordfish is the movie where Halle Berry showed her breasts for the first time. There was also something about a hacker...
 * To the point that a good deal of marketing focused on how much extra (reputedly $500,000) she was paid specifically for agreeing to flash her breasts for no particularly good reason in a single scene.
 * Her film Monsters Ball is largely remembered the same way because of her steamy sex scene, but it was good enough on its own merits to win her an Oscar.
 * The Terminator 's Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Linda Hamilton having hot sex with Michael Biehn, to a lovely piano version of the Terminator theme.
 * Terminator Salvation homaged this with Moon Bloogood showing her boobs. Scene was cut from the theatrical release to qualify for a PG-13 rating, but was re-inserted into the special extended Blu-Ray edition. Watch the movie with this scene included, and Sam Worthington, Christian Bale, Anton Yelchin and everybody else being all angsty doesn't matter anymore.
 * Terminator? Oh yeah! That's the film series where, in the third one, there's a hot female who has no clothes on at the start of the movie, then gets into tight leathers for the rest, and can INFLATE HER OWN BOOBS.
 * Titanic has a number of scenes and lines that endure in the popular memory, but none moreso than Kate Winslet's taking off her clothes for a nude portrait (which, mind you, is very impressive). Equaled by the (literally) steamy in-car sex between Jack and Rose. Impressive, considering all you really see is a hand pressed against a window.
 * The common consensus is that the best scene from the Tomb Raider movie is when Lara is showering, then gets out of shower and briefly uses a Modesty Towel before casting it aside for a Toplessness From the Back shot and side boob.
 * What makes Total Recall different from all the other Arnold Schwarzenegger movies? Two—no, in this movie it's three things.
 * The Tourist showcases a rather odd case of this happening to a movie before it even began filming! The press went kind of like this: Spy thriller set in Italy directed by Alfonso Cuaron and starring Sam Worthington and Charlize Theron? Not exciting enough. Cuaron replaced with Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and the stars replaced with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp? A little more interesting. A script leak revealing a steamy shower sex scene between Jolie and Depp? OH MY GOD GET THE PHOTOGRAPHERS TO ITALY ASAP!!!
 * And then the shower scene was cut during filming, allegedly upon request of Johnny Depp's girlfriend. Serves us all right.
 * Trading Places - Jamie Lee Curtis taking off her top. Also something to do with the commodities market?
 * Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies. Screw the Harrier chases, the many, many explosions or Arnie at his Large Ham best. Everyone remembers Curtis' shadowy striptease first and foremost.

U-Z

 * The Unborn is all about Odette Yustman's ass. So much that her butt is the main focus on the poster.
 * Under Siege is that movie where Erika Eleniak jumps out of a cake topless.
 * Or more accurately, the movie where Erika Eleniak jumps out of a cake topless then later on Tommy Lee Jones gets a knife stuck in his head.
 * Varsity Blues? Isn't that the movie where some chick comes out in a whipped cream bikini?
 * Of course, not. It was also the movie where high school students discover their teacher is secretly a stripper.
 * Vase de Noces, that is the film's official title and not The Pig Fucking Movie.
 * Never mind Tim Roth doing a Money, Dear Boy role, Virgin Territory is all about Hayden Christensen making whoopee with naughty nuns-and Mischa Barton baring her boobs.
 * Then people are remembering things that didn't even happen—Barton's done some nudity, but not in that movie.
 * From what is said on the message boards on the IMDB you'd think that Watchmen consisted of 160 minutes of a blue penis.
 * Whiteout had a scene where Kate Beckinsale was taking off her clothes before taking a shower even though "Hollywood showers" are not allowed at the South Pole due to water restrictions.. What's the plot of the movie? Nobody seems to remember.
 * The most memorable things about The Warrior and the Sorceress, aside from the fact that it stars a sword-wielding David Carradine, are the fact that the titular (heh...) Sorceress is topless the entire time, and a woman with four breasts who has an erotic dance scene and then tries to kill Carradine with a tentacle that comes out of her vagina. She's even on the poster for the movie (unless it's meant to be some other chick with four boobs), with the Sorceress nowhere to be seen.
 * Who Framed Roger Rabbit? might as well have been named Jessica Rabbit Makes It Okay To Think An Animated Character Is Hot. (For those of you who haven't seen it: She got her last name by marriage. Also, she's not bad - she's just drawn that way.)
 * The Whole Nine Yards. There was the toplessness of Amanda Peet, and something about money...
 * The original version of The Wicker Man, in which:
 * Britt Ekland - and her body double - get naked, do a sexy dance, and sing "Willow's Song"
 * A crowd of villagers put Edward Woodward in a big wicker man and set him on fire, while Christopher Lee leads them in a rousing rendition of "Sumer Is Icumen In".
 * The "remake", on the other hand, has no fanservice whatsoever, but does stand out for Nicolas Cage punching out a woman while wearing a bear costume... and being completely terrible. And bees (my God).
 * Wild Things is actually a pretty good "whodunit?" that has twists and turns... and Denise Richards' champagne-covered breast implants. Mention Wild Things to a male and ask them to name a scene from it; it'll either be that or the part where she makes out with Neve Campbell.
 * Or Kevin Bacon's junk.
 * The Wings of the Dove, a lengthy involved plot about some people in olde timey days trying to get rich, and then right at the end several glorious minutes of Helena Bonham Carter speechifying in the buff.
 * Women in Love. The 1969 adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's novel included Glenda Jackson's Academy Award winning performance, but today, the film is largely remembered for the sweaty naked wrestling scene with Alan Bates and Oliver Reed, and having one of the first depictions of male frontal nudity in a major studio film.
