* ''Film/SuckerPunch'' has endured thanks to MisaimedMarketing as a film featuring beautiful actresses in skimpy {{Animesque}} ActionGirl costumes. Thanks to public consciousness branding it as either two hours of {{Fanservice}} or a bad MindScrew, a lot of viewers are surprised that the story deals with sexual assault trauma, toxic masculinity and victimization.

* ''Film/{{Barbarella}}'': Creator/JaneFonda looking good, performing a strip-tease in zero gravity, and having lots of sex, at one point with an orgasm machine. That's what anyone who watches this movie will be talking about. There's also some sci-fi plot about saving the universe.

That's what anyone who watches this movie will be talking about. There's also some sci-fi plot about saving the universe. The actress later commented on the MandelaEffect of the striptease leading to people believing she performed most of the film nude, when it's just that scene and a few instances involving ToplessnessFromTheBack and ShouldersUpNudity.

* ''Film/TheMisfits'' is either remembered for its nightmarishly TroubledProduction, where it became the last film for Creator/MarilynMonroe and Creator/ClarkGable, or for one scene of the former playing paddleball in a bar as a group of lecherous men look on. There isn't even that much MaleGaze framing, and her dress isn't exactly ''revealing'' but it gets plenty of attention. It has however partly been VindicatedByHistory as a rare attempt by the actress to show her [[TomHanksSyndrome dramatic talents]].


Added DiffLines:

* The Creator/AmySchumer film ''Trainwreck'' is only remembered because Wrestling/JohnCena appears nude during a sex scene.

* ''Film/DonJuanOrIfDonJuanWereAWoman'': The best-known part of the movie is the ten or so minutes in which the characters played by Creator/BrigitteBardot and Creator/JaneBirkin go on a cute date, kiss and end up in bed together, naked and spooning each other. Look the movie up on Youtube or Google Images and most of the results will be from those scenes.

* 1982's ''Film/{{Paradise}}'' was a forgettable shameless ripoff of ''Film/TheBlueLagoon''. There are only two reasons anyone remembers it today: For the minority - it's Phoebe Cates' film debut (predating ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh'' by 4 months and filmed when she was 17). For the ''vast'' majority - Creator/PhoebeCates is naked at damn near every opportunity. Film buffs ''might'' recall it as part of [[Series/CharlesInCharge Willie]] [[Series/{{Bibleman}} Aames']] filmography. Michael Medved told the British magazine ''Starburst'' that "the camera is never more than two inches from Phoebe Cates' breasts and that's basically what the movie is about."
