When it comes to selling lingerie, nothing really does it quite like the movies. The sight of beautiful women such as Megan Fox, Halle Berry and Cameron Diaz looking fabulous in their underwear is enough to inspire any woman to head to the shops, and usually enough to persuade any man to get his wallet out for his partner.

A great scene for lingerie in the movies came in the film True Lies, where Jamie Lee Curtis, famed for her body, performed a strip tease for her husband, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jamie Lee stripped down to her bra and knickers before the scene ended prematurely by the arrival of some soldiers.

You can’t mention lingerie in the movies without mentioning Weird Science with Kelly Le Brock. Kelly spent most of the movie in her nightwear, and was even greeted in the movie by the two excited boys who had created her on the computer while they wore bras on their head.

One of the most famous lingerie scenes in the movies didn’t actually feature any women’s underwear at all, namely the scene from Basic Instinct where Sharon Stone revealed to a shocked Michael Douglas that she wasn’t wearing any knickers!

Whether underwear is being worn, or famously not being worn it always plays a major part in films.
