* Spoofed hilariously in ''Film/ScaryMovie'', which is pertinent since horror movies are perhaps the most guilty of this trope (often in {{squick}}y ways as a woman contorts her body sensually and moans orgasmically as she is dying). The movie opens with a woman (played by Carmen Electra) running from a psycho killer, her clothes getting ripped off by anything she runs by, and stopping to pose and flick her hair as she runs (in SloMo, no less) through a sprinkler.

* A major criticism of ''Film/JusticeLeague2017'' was how the camera treated Creator/GalGadot’s Wonder Woman, in that it was more interested focusing on [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d3/e9/f6/d3e9f649b8528234811b0b2cc2d9dc51.jpg her buttocks]] or [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AqMwTrz8EJo/maxresdefault.jpg up her skirt]] than her face. This was especially jarring as her solo movie ([[Creator/PattyJenkins directed by a woman]]) averted this effectively, and even Diana’s attire [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSjwwh5hW64V3JQ5zwoQQ33uErLc-phrbaqtY6FCsH3xkr6uPdw incorporated more cleavage compared to the previous movies]].

* ''Film/CharliesAngels'' (and the [[Film/CharliesAngelsFullThrottle sequel]] too, naturally) featured numerous scenes which pointedly and gratuitously framed the lead actresses' rear ends. This is particularly noticeable in the numerous {{fanservice}}y scenes of various female characters dancing, stripping (don't ask) or in the slow-mo action shots where the Angels inexplicably always seem to wear tight pants or [[SpyCatsuit bodysuits]] of some sort, and high heels, regardless of whether or not they'd be convenient or comfortable or even ''safe'' to fight in. Considering it was based on a 1970s' jiggle show, though, is anybody really surprised at any of this?

*Basically in every film by Seltzer and Friedberg, the women in the film are always a [[MsFanservice Ms. Fanservice]]. In ''Film/EpicMovie'', almost every girl is shot to show off their curves, large asses, huge breasts, and overall gorgeous figures. The main one being Mystique, who's played by the stunning Carmen Electra, who's practically naked through the entire film, with her only two scenes being a sexy dance scene and a sex scene involving her getting [[BreastExpansion larger breasts]] and a larger ass, which we see in full. Granted, that sex scene also has her receiving a unibrow and [[ChubbyChaser "big flabby grandma arms/bingo wings like a fat blue Britney Spears"]], but still, the entire film is shot around sexy ladies whenever they are on screen.

* The male gaze is a moving thing, not static. So it is most closely echoed in film and TV by panning or tilting shots along a woman's body, rather than framing one part for any length of time.

* A film of ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]]'' had a scene with Julia and Winston in the room on top of the antique shop. For some reason she gets up and walks around in the room for minutes completely naked and the camera shows her entire body. Every shot at Winston, though, shows only his head, or at best his upper body.
* Toward the end of ''Film/{{Alien}}'', there's a long scene where Ripley's in a shirt and panties. During the whole time, the camera's focus is clearly aimed rather lower than her face, and doesn't go back up to its usual height until after she gets some more clothes on.
* ''Film/AmericanHustle'' features Sydney dressed in a lot of AbsoluteCleavage outfits. Notably one shot tilts down to focus on a briefcase - but Sydney's cleavage is still framed in the background.

* We have a moment in ''Film/BlondeCrazy'' where Bert checks out the ''derrieres'' of women out on the dance floor— especially easy for him since he's sitting down. Being ThePreCodeEra, this comes as no surprise.
* Troy Duffy got Julie Benz to be in his movie, ''Film/TheBoondockSaintsIIAllSaintsDay'', and damn it all if he wasn't going to take full advantage of it for his male audience. But, to be fair, there is a hefty amount of FanService for the ladies as well, so we could just look at it as equal opportunity exploitation.
* Subverted in the car-wash scene of the original ''Film/BringItOn''. As Cliff approaches the carwash, we see through his viewpoint - until his sister Missy enters the frame at precisely the right height that her breasts are perfectly framed. He is understandably {{Squick}}ed out.
* In ''Film/CabinFever'' there is a scene where [[TheChick the hot brunette]] walks across a grass field to a house. The shot builds out to a close up of her swaying butt, in jeans, and slows down to [[SloMo slow-mo]] as it does so.
** The introduction to an earlier scene is a slow pan over a sexy bikini-clad blonde laying on a raft.
** A later scene featuring a topless woman is taken from '''exactly''' the right position so the we see her large breasts twice at once: directly from the side, and front-on via a reflection in a bathroom mirror.
** Many reviewers have claimed that the subsequent ''leg-shaving'' scene focuses an inordinate amount of attention on the woman's breasts, despite it essentially being a psychological horror scene.
** The sex scenes are filmed in such a way to maximize the display of breast-jigglage or booty-shaking.
* ''{{Literature/Carrie}}'':
** The 1976 version has a slow motion shot of all the girls in the locker room showering and getting changed. Although Carrie quickly gets her period in the shower, there's still plenty of intimate shots of boobs and legs before the blood flows.
** Another obvious example is the detention for the girls, where they're all in skimpy PT gear and doing star jumps to allow some jiggle to show.
** The 2002 film features a tamer version of this, but there are still shots of Angela Bettis washing her legs and back.
* Subverted/reversed in ''Film/{{Centurion}}'': when Etain fights and kills [[spoiler:Virilus]], he is shirtless and she is fully clothed. She's gorgeous and frequently dressed in furs and eyeliner, but her clothes are never that revealing or titillating.
* ''Film/CharliesAngels'' (and the [[Film/CharliesAngelsFullThrottle sequel]] too, naturally) featured numerous scenes which pointedly and gratuitously framed the lead actresses' rear ends. This is particularly noticeable in the numerous {{fanservice}}y scenes of various female characters dancing, stripping (don't ask) or in the slow-mo action shots where the Angels inexplicably always seem to wear tight pants or [[SpyCatsuit bodysuits]] of some sort, and high heels, regardless of whether or not they'd be convenient or comfortable or even ''safe'' to fight in. Considering it was based on a 1970s' jiggle show, though, is anybody really surprised at any of this?
** The ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' {{Mockbuster}} ''Film/AngelsRevenge'' was the same thing, with less-attractive women. Early in the movie, we get a shot straight up a ladder as a woman is climbing it, and Crow quips "Hey, you're giving away the plot!"
* ''The Courtship of Eddie's Father'' is about a widowed father and his son sizing up various candidates for second wife/stepmother.
* In ''Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon'' there is a scene where the shapely Julie Adams is swimming in the eponymous lagoon. At one point she dives, causing the top of her body to submerge and the bottom to rise above the water and move right into the camera. For a brief moment almost the entire screen is filled by her buttocks.
* ''Film/CrocodileDundee'': When Sue from is bending over in her (very) string'd bath suit, Mick "Crocodile" Dundee is watching her from behind the bushes.
-->'''Sue Charlton''': That croc was going to eat me alive.
-->'''Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee''': Well, I wouldn't hold that against him. Same thought crossed my mind once or twice.
* In ''Film/DevilDoll'', the introduction of Grace, Vorelli's [[LovelyAssistant Replacement Lovely Assistant]], has a slow pan up all the way from her feet to her head.
* In ''Film/DieHard'', the camera pans down just slightly but very noticeably to show that Bonnie Bedelia's jacket/blouse thing had opened up a bit, showing her slip.
* An interesting subversion in ''Film/DirtyDancing'', noted by the screenwriter during the commentary. Most of the film is from Baby's point of view, and how she sees Johnny and others around her.
* ''Film/DumbAndDumberTo'': Harry and Lloyd briefly flash back to a younger twenty-something Fraida bending over a pool table.
* In ''Fair Game'', Kate changes her shirt on the side of the road by the car she and Max are using; Max takes a look through the window and we get to see a sideview of her left breast. Kate is played by Creator/CindyCrawford, so it's very hard to blame him.
* ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' has a rare example of the MaleGaze being played for {{Squick}} rather than {{Fanservice}}, as we see how Richie looks at Kate Fuller. Since Richie is a serial rapist, the effect is deeply unpleasant.
* The final poster of ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' features all of the main characters, including The Baroness, but she is the only one facing the viewer, along with her body twisted in a Rob Liefield-style pose so her buttocks is as well. Then again, [[TheBaroness it's more or less in-character]].
* The opening of ''Film/GrandCanyon'', in which Kevin Kline, with courtside seats at a Lakers game, seems to spend as much time looking at the other women in attendance as he does looking at the game itself.
* The first ''Film/{{Hercules 1958}}'' movie from the 1950s featured a scene in which the male characters are captured by a group of Amazons. Despite the obvious threat of the women's ''weapons'', the camera "inexplicably" focuses on a long line of long legs (bare, natch). On the other hand, these were beefcake movies where Hercules ran around shirtless flexing his muscles.
* ''Film/HighSchoolMusical 3'' had a shot of Sharpay's butt that filled the screen.
* ''Film/{{Hitchcock}}'', in which Scarlett Johansson plays Janet Leigh of ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' fame, gives Scarlett's behind some screentime.
* The lesbian sex scene in ''Film/TheHunger'' is filmed and framed in such a way. The entire sequence is quite voyeuristic, with pans along legs, asses and breasts.
* ''Film/ILoveYouBethCooper'' has a couple good examples:
** When Denis falls head first into Beth's lap, we see a POV shot of her panties.
** Toward the end, Beth's two girl friends try to prove Rich is gay by doing something that would turn on any straight boy: [[EroticEating licking a phallic pastry]]. The scene is shot to turn on the male viewers, of course.
* In ''Film/IronMan2'' we get a lovely shot of Natasha's rear when we see her in the catsuit for the first time. We also get another gratuitous shot of it again when she fighting the bad guys and pulls out the small mines from her belt. The fight scene is also notorious for the repeated occasions when she does a ThreePointLanding pose and the shot blatantly centres on her bosom.
** Not to mention the scene prior to this where Happy is driving her to Hammer's office and she begins changing in the backseat. The viewers are treated her taking off her shirt exposing her bra....nearly causing Happy to crash the car because he was DistractedByTheSexy. She quickly comments that he should keep his eyes on the road and the poor bastard makes an epically heroic attempt to do so, even after the audience is treated to one lone leg rise up. It doesn't help that Natasha is played by Scarlett Johansson.
** What about the scene prior to that where Natasha and Pepper are walking into the Stark Expo up the stairs, wearing tight little black moderately short dresses. The camera stays on them from the back for a fairly long time, given that nothing else was happening on the screen, and it didn't advance the plot in any way.
** All of this stuff gave Natasha a reputation among certain critics as a pure MsFanservice that took at least two more films to live down.
* The Film/JamesBond movies have this from time to time with the Bond Girls, prominently when anyone's getting out of the water with a bathing suit - ostensibly as a tribute to original Bond girl Honey Ryder. ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' manages to make it both DarkerAndEdgier and StupidSexyFlanders by showing how Daniel Craig looks in blue instead..
* The entrance of Creator/VanessaHudgens in ''[[Film/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth Journey 2: The Mysterious Island]]'' is this in every sense of the term (what with it being from Josh Hutcherson's POV and all). And as for the scene where she crawls out of a tunnel that's collapsing around her... did we mention the short shorts she wears for almost the entire movie? And that it's in 3D?
* ''The Lady in the Lake'' used the stylistic choice of filming every scene as it would be viewed by Philip Marlowe. In one instance, the woman he's talking to goes out of focus, because he's busy leering at her SexySecretary.
* [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in Film/{{Looker}}. The protagonist is shown an advertising program that tracks the viewer's eye movements during commercials to determine where the product needs to be displayed. Of course he's focused laser-like on the hot swimsuit model's perky behind.
-->I, uh, [[BlatantLies liked her bathing suit]].
* In ''Film/LostInTranslation'' the background of the opening credits is a shot of Creator/ScarlettJohansson's behind. Interestingly enough, this scene was shot by Sofia Coppola, who acted out the shot herself first to make the actress more comfortable.
* ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol'' features loads of tantalizing shots of Paula Patton and Lea Seydoux, zooming in on their sexy bodies and right down their cleavage.
* Parodied in ''Film/TheNakedGun 33 1/3'' when Creator/LeslieNielsen's character first sees Anna Nicole Smith. Watch as the camera goes slowly up the legs... and up the legs... and past the knees... and up the legs... and up the legs... and up the legs... and past the knees again...
* Scarlett Johannsson's "panty shot" establishes character in ''Film/ThePerfectScore''.
* In ''Film/PitchBlack'', when Fry is crawling into the cavern with the first sighting of monsters. On the commentary the director even says "Young boys everywhere, you're welcome."
* In the ''Franchise/PoliceAcademy'' movies, Callahan is subjected to this a lot, both by viewers and other characters. In the fourth movie, two kids sitting next to her on the plane are staring at her rather amble bosom until she notices and snaps "Eyes ''left''!" at them.
* At one point in ''Film/{{Predators}}'', the camera focuses on Isabelle's butt. She turns around, and finds that Stans was staring at it, annoying her.
-->'''Stans''': Your ass is awesome.
* Occurs when Julie Warner's character is introduced in the ''Puppet Masters'', but it's actually a plot point. After she [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] on its occurrence, the lack of male gaze by the townsfolk is her first sign that something is very wrong.
* Subverted in ''Film/RedEye'' where Lisa has to strip off after someone spills coffee on her blouse. The shot frames her chest - but the focus is instead on the ''scar'' there instead of her breasts.
* ''Film/SanAndreas'' is a movie filled with destruction porn. It also introduces Creator/AlexandraDaddario's character of Blake by having her sunbathing in a black bikini that shows a lot of her form, and spends an astonishing amount of time reminding us of her MsFanservice qualifications, with her (and her screen mum Carla Gugino) {{Gainaxing}} hither and yon throughout. [[spoiler: Even when Blake is on the verge of drowning, the makers just can't resist letting the audience look down her shirt. They just can't.]]
* Spoofed hilariously in ''Film/ScaryMovie'', which is pertinent since horror movies are perhaps the most guilty of this trope (often in {{squick}}y ways as a woman contorts her body sensually and moans orgasmically as she is dying). The movie opens with a woman (played by Carmen Electra) running from a psycho killer, her clothes getting ripped off by anything she runs by, and stopping to pose and flick her hair as she runs (in SloMo, no less) through a sprinkler.
* Pick any scene in ''Film/TheScorpionKing'' with Creator/KellyHu in it.
* ''Film/TheSentinel'' and ''Film/HarshTimes'' were both released around the same time, and both featured Eva Longoria, and both had a shot where the camera focuses on her butt. In both cases it was to emphasize how the men in the scene see her. In both cases the director was also a male.
* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', right after one of River's hallucinations, the camera cuts to showing her lying facedown on the deck grating, and the camera angle is conspicuously positioned to give the viewer a ''perfect'' shot straight down her cleavage. Plus the countless shots of [[AuthorAppeal River's feet]].
* In ''Film/{{Sheena}}'', the camera angles are consistently chosen to focus on the large amount of bare skin exposed by Sheena's skimpy costume. Sheena spent a lot of time leaning forward for cleavage shots, there were many shots of her climbing up a wall with the camera being fixed so her torso and legs filled the screen as she passed by it, and there were many up-the-skirt panty shots during those climbs.
* ''Film/TheShallows'' gives a lot of attention to Nancy's breasts and ass while she's surfing at the beginning. It continues to do this after she's suffered several gruesome injuries after being attacked by a shark, turning this into FanDisservice.
* ''Film/SuckerPunch'' plays some of this for drama, as a lot of emphasis is on how uncomfortable the protagonists are at constantly being seen as sex objects. The "Love Is A Drug" sequence, included on the Extended Edition, shows a lot of sexy ladies dancing - from the POV of the horny customers.
* In ''Film/TheMisfits'' (1961) ,the camera follows Clark Gable's gaze to Marilyn Monroe's behind as it bumps up and down while she rides a horse.
* ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'' features Marilyn Monroe walking into frame in such a way that allows her ass to wiggle - and she's then sprayed with steam from an engine for added affect.
* ''Film/SpringBreakers'' infamously had a lot of this. There are shots in which the character's torsos are in frame for no reason other than this. Which is to say nothing of the copious amounts of [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTS!!!!!!!]]
* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'':
** The scene in which Uhura is walking up to the Klingon war party in an attempt to inform them of their intentions, the camera is firmly focused on her behind as she's walking, right up until she stops.
** Similarly, the camera (and Kirk's eye) stealing a look at [[spoiler:Dr. Marcus]] as she changes uniforms.
** JJ Abrams made ''sure'' the film was this, as PrettyBoy Chris Pine's buttocks were CGI'd out of a scene as he "couldn't inflict that on people" (Pine himself was slightly upset about the news), and a Cumberbatch ShowerScene is only on the deleted features.
* In ''Film/TakeTheLead'', we have lead actor Creator/AntonioBanderas dancing a fiery tango with the movie's main antagonist, played by Katya Virshilas, who gets several long, lingering, even slow-motion shots of her legs while she spins, her breasts, her hips, and a few overhead shots that go straight down her cleavage. The studio probably could have saved a lot of money casting a stand-in for Mr. Banderas, who is mostly obscured for all but ''one'' brief shot where we see his face.
* Played with in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'', in the scene where Vernon is frantically driving the truck and trying to see what April is doing. The camera pans over to reveal her grabbing video footage with her phone by leaning out of the window with her behind right in the camera. Vernon is fine with this, but [[DistractedByTheSexy taking his eye off the road causes them to crash]].
* Subverted in ''Film/TellNoOne''; at a restaurant, we see a shot of a waitress' behind as she's walking away, but then it's revealed it's [[FemaleGaze Helene who's looking at her]], not Alexandre.
* ''Franchise/TransformersFilmSeries'':
** Michael Bay asked some people why they watched the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}''; "[[JustHereForGodzilla For the hot chick]]." So he decided to get it out of the way before he started.
** Anyone who has seen ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' will realize from [[MsFanservice Megan Fox]]'s very first scene that director Michael Bay has gone out of his way to not do anything to discourage this trope.
** ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' carries this to a new level. We first see the female main character dressed in a man's long shirt with tiny panties, as she ascends a staircase, with a tight focus on her legs. She is on camera for at least a minute before we see her face. The rest of the movie has her in either skin tight outfits or very short skirts and dresses, doing things like getting out of low-slung cars with her legs as the only visible part of her. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Also, there were some robots or something in the movie.]]
** ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' continues the tradition. Especially at the beginning of the movie, the female main character is wearing tight shirts and very short shorts and skirts, and even when the scene is just talking, the camera angle just happens to have her legs in the foreground with the two male characters talking in the background. Further, like all of Bay's movies, [[FanService the background female characters are universally gorgeous]] and dressed in skimpy and tight clothing, with long loving pan shots up their bodies for no particular reason.
* The first shot of Ann-Margret in the Music/ElvisPresley vehicle ''Viva Las Vegas'' is of her legs only, walking into a garage where Elvis and another man are under a car. The camera then tracks up her body as the men get out from under the car, and cuts to an extreme close-up of her rear end as she walks away from them.
* ''Film/{{WarCraft|2016}}'' has the scene in Llane's meeting room where the camera lingers for a longer moment at the AbsoluteCleavage of a High Elven noblewoman present at the meeting. For the record: there's not a single important Elf character in the entire film.
* ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHZqjkPXrA The way the camera moves]] when we first see Mystique in her cleavage-exposing dress evokes this.
* The cameras that film ''Film/{{The Fast and the Furious}}'' movies are constantly lingering on the curvy parts of half-dressed women.
* ''Film/VanHelsing'' introduces Anna Valerious with a slow-motion tilt up her body, allowing the viewer to see Kate Beckinsale in a corset. There's also another part where Anna is dropped on Van Helsing and a shot from his POV looks up at her breasts, another one on her crotch.
* ''Film/{{Lifeforce}}'' is nothing but this trope when the [[EvilIsSexy Space]] [[FullFrontalAssault Girl]], played by an ultra gorgeous Mathilda May [[MsFanservice who remains nude in like 90% of her screen time]], is the focus of the scene. The entire sequence when she wreaks havoc on the Space Research Facility while in the buff is one of the most memorable examples of this trope in cinema from the 80s.
----
* The male gaze is a moving thing, not static. So it is most closely echoed in film and TV by panning or tilting shots along a woman's body, rather than framing one part for any length of time. One of the more original 'reveals' of the female form is in Creator/AlfredHitchcock's ''Film/RearWindow'': In Creator/GraceKelly's first shot, only her hand is seen (switching on a light IIRC), then an arm, then a bit more, etc, with her face last.
* A film of ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]]'' had a scene with Julia and Winston in the room on top of the antique shop. For some reason she gets up and walks around in the room for minutes completely naked and the camera shows her entire body. Every shot at Winston, though, shows only his head, or at best his upper body.
* Toward the end of ''Film/{{Alien}}'', there's a long scene where Ripley's in a shirt and panties. During the whole time, the camera's focus is clearly aimed rather lower than her face, and doesn't go back up to its usual height until after she gets some more clothes on.
* ''Film/AmericanHustle'' features Sydney dressed in a lot of AbsoluteCleavage outfits. Notably one shot tilts down to focus on a briefcase - but Sydney's cleavage is still framed in the background.
* The ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' movie does this a great deal with Black Widow and Maria Hill seems to be walking away from the camera in a lot of shots. There's a scene of Scarlett Johannson tied to a chair, wearing a LittleBlackDress, stockings, and no shoes, beating up several goons with a jaw-dropping sequence of contortions and acrobatics. Also, her character is ''purposely'' trying to invoke this very trope on her "captors" in order to distract and mislead them. She then spends the rest of the film in a skin-tight catsuit, but is slightly overshadowed by all the FemaleGaze flying around her costars.
* In ''Film/AustinPowersInternationalManOfMystery'', we first see Vanessa Kensington via a slow pan up her entire body.
* In Creator/WoodyAllen's ''Film/{{Bananas}}'', it's done to comic effect with a leather clad secretary who brags she and her friends are going to have a porno party.
* ''Film/BitchSlap'' consists about 80 % of Male Gaze. It's fully, fatly justified to say the camera licks, caresses, and more or less dry humps its subjects - there are moments when the same shot of, say, the viewpoint gliding up a mile-long leg stepping out of a car, is actually repeated twice if not thrice, only to be followed by close examination of the curves that await up there, then brought to the finale with a face shot with plump lips and gleaming eyes.
* We have a moment in ''Film/BlondeCrazy'' where Bert checks out the ''derrieres'' of women out on the dance floor— especially easy for him since he's sitting down. Being ThePreCodeEra, this comes as no surprise.
* Troy Duffy got Julie Benz to be in his movie, ''Film/TheBoondockSaintsIIAllSaintsDay'', and damn it all if he wasn't going to take full advantage of it for his male audience. But, to be fair, there is a hefty amount of FanService for the ladies as well, so we could just look at it as equal opportunity exploitation.
* Subverted in the car-wash scene of the original ''Film/BringItOn''. As Cliff approaches the carwash, we see through his viewpoint - until his sister Missy enters the frame at precisely the right height that her breasts are perfectly framed. He is understandably {{Squick}}ed out.
* In ''Film/CabinFever'' there is a scene where [[TheChick the hot brunette]] walks across a grass field to a house. The shot builds out to a close up of her swaying butt, in jeans, and slows down to [[SloMo slow-mo]] as it does so.
** The introduction to an earlier scene is a slow pan over a sexy bikini-clad blonde laying on a raft.
** A later scene featuring a topless woman is taken from '''exactly''' the right position so the we see her large breasts twice at once: directly from the side, and front-on via a reflection in a bathroom mirror.
** Many reviewers have claimed that the subsequent ''leg-shaving'' scene focuses an inordinate amount of attention on the woman's breasts, despite it essentially being a psychological horror scene.
** The sex scenes are filmed in such a way to maximize the display of breast-jigglage or booty-shaking.

* ''Film/CharliesAngels'' (and the [[Film/CharliesAngelsFullThrottle sequel]] too, naturally) featured numerous scenes which pointedly and gratuitously framed the lead actresses' rear ends. This is particularly noticeable in the numerous {{fanservice}}y scenes of various female characters dancing, stripping (don't ask) or in the slow-mo action shots where the Angels inexplicably always seem to wear tight pants or [[SpyCatsuit bodysuits]] of some sort, and high heels, regardless of whether or not they'd be convenient or comfortable or even ''safe'' to fight in.

[[spoiler: Even when Blake is on the verge of drowning, the makers just can't resist letting the audience look down her shirt. They just can't.]]
* Spoofed hilariously in ''Film/ScaryMovie'', which is pertinent since horror movies are perhaps the most guilty of this trope (often in {{squick}}y ways as a woman contorts her body sensually and moans orgasmically as she is dying). The movie opens with a woman (played by Carmen Electra) running from a psycho killer, her clothes getting ripped off by anything she runs by, and stopping to pose and flick her hair as she runs (in SloMo, no less) through a sprinkler.
* Pick any scene in ''Film/TheScorpionKing'' with Creator/KellyHu in it.
* ''Film/TheSentinel'' and ''Film/HarshTimes'' were both released around the same time, and both featured Eva Longoria, and both had a shot where the camera focuses on her butt. In both cases it was to emphasize how the men in the scene see her. In both cases the director was also a male.
* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', right after one of River's hallucinations, the camera cuts to showing her lying facedown on the deck grating, and the camera angle is conspicuously positioned to give the viewer a ''perfect'' shot straight down her cleavage. Plus the countless shots of [[AuthorAppeal River's feet]].
* In ''Film/{{Sheena}}'', the camera angles are consistently chosen to focus on the large amount of bare skin exposed by Sheena's skimpy costume. Sheena spent a lot of time leaning forward for cleavage shots, there were many shots of her climbing up a wall with the camera being fixed so her torso and legs filled the screen as she passed by it, and there were many up-the-skirt panty shots during those climbs.
* ''Film/TheShallows'' gives a lot of attention to Nancy's breasts and ass while she's surfing at the beginning. It continues to do this after she's suffered several gruesome injuries after being attacked by a shark, turning this into FanDisservice.
* ''Film/SuckerPunch'' plays some of this for drama, as a lot of emphasis is on how uncomfortable the protagonists are at constantly being seen as sex objects. The "Love Is A Drug" sequence, included on the Extended Edition, shows a lot of sexy ladies dancing - from the POV of the horny customers.
* In ''Film/TheMisfits'' (1961) ,the camera follows Clark Gable's gaze to Marilyn Monroe's behind as it bumps up and down while she rides a horse.
* ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'' features Marilyn Monroe walking into frame in such a way that allows her ass to wiggle - and she's then sprayed with steam from an engine for added affect.
* ''Film/SpringBreakers'' infamously had a lot of this. There are shots in which the character's torsos are in frame for no reason other than this. Which is to say nothing of the copious amounts of [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTS!!!!!!!]]
* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'':
** The scene in which Uhura is walking up to the Klingon war party in an attempt to inform them of their intentions, the camera is firmly focused on her behind as she's walking, right up until she stops.
** Similarly, the camera (and Kirk's eye) stealing a look at [[spoiler:Dr. Marcus]] as she changes uniforms.
** JJ Abrams made ''sure'' the film was this, as PrettyBoy Chris Pine's buttocks were CGI'd out of a scene as he "couldn't inflict that on people" (Pine himself was slightly upset about the news), and a Cumberbatch ShowerScene is only on the deleted features.
* In ''Film/TakeTheLead'', we have lead actor Creator/AntonioBanderas dancing a fiery tango with the movie's main antagonist, played by Katya Virshilas, who gets several long, lingering, even slow-motion shots of her legs while she spins, her breasts, her hips, and a few overhead shots that go straight down her cleavage. The studio probably could have saved a lot of money casting a stand-in for Mr. Banderas, who is mostly obscured for all but ''one'' brief shot where we see his face.
* Played with in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'', in the scene where Vernon is frantically driving the truck and trying to see what April is doing. The camera pans over to reveal her grabbing video footage with her phone by leaning out of the window with her behind right in the camera. Vernon is fine with this, but [[DistractedByTheSexy taking his eye off the road causes them to crash]].
* Subverted in ''Film/TellNoOne''; at a restaurant, we see a shot of a waitress' behind as she's walking away, but then it's revealed it's [[FemaleGaze Helene who's looking at her]], not Alexandre.
* ''Franchise/TransformersFilmSeries'':
** Michael Bay asked some people why they watched the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}''; "[[JustHereForGodzilla For the hot chick]]." So he decided to get it out of the way before he started.
** Anyone who has seen ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' will realize from [[MsFanservice Megan Fox]]'s very first scene that director Michael Bay has gone out of his way to not do anything to discourage this trope.
** ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' carries this to a new level. We first see the female main character dressed in a man's long shirt with tiny panties, as she ascends a staircase, with a tight focus on her legs. She is on camera for at least a minute before we see her face. The rest of the movie has her in either skin tight outfits or very short skirts and dresses, doing things like getting out of low-slung cars with her legs as the only visible part of her. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Also, there were some robots or something in the movie.]]
** ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' continues the tradition. Especially at the beginning of the movie, the female main character is wearing tight shirts and very short shorts and skirts, and even when the scene is just talking, the camera angle just happens to have her legs in the foreground with the two male characters talking in the background. Further, like all of Bay's movies, [[FanService the background female characters are universally gorgeous]] and dressed in skimpy and tight clothing, with long loving pan shots up their bodies for no particular reason.
* The first shot of Ann-Margret in the Music/ElvisPresley vehicle ''Viva Las Vegas'' is of her legs only, walking into a garage where Elvis and another man are under a car. The camera then tracks up her body as the men get out from under the car, and cuts to an extreme close-up of her rear end as she walks away from them.
* ''Film/{{WarCraft|2016}}'' has the scene in Llane's meeting room where the camera lingers for a longer moment at the AbsoluteCleavage of a High Elven noblewoman present at the meeting. For the record: there's not a single important Elf character in the entire film.
* ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHZqjkPXrA The way the camera moves]] when we first see Mystique in her cleavage-exposing dress evokes this.
* The cameras that film ''Film/{{The Fast and the Furious}}'' movies are constantly lingering on the curvy parts of half-dressed women.
* ''Film/VanHelsing'' introduces Anna Valerious with a slow-motion tilt up her body, allowing the viewer to see Kate Beckinsale in a corset. There's also another part where Anna is dropped on Van Helsing and a shot from his POV looks up at her breasts, another one on her crotch.
* ''Film/{{Lifeforce}}'' is nothing but this trope when the [[EvilIsSexy Space]] [[FullFrontalAssault Girl]], played by an ultra gorgeous Mathilda May [[MsFanservice who remains nude in like 90% of her screen time]], is the focus of the scene. The entire sequence when she wreaks havoc on the Space Research Facility while in the buff is one of the most memorable examples of this trope in cinema from the 80s.
