Starring Demi Moore
1. Stream now on Showtime The 1990s saw an increased fascination with exotic dance as an art form, and many stripper movies during that era began to take the business seriously. Ex-FBI assistant Erin (Demi Moore) begins stripping to earn money to regain custodyof her daughter, but she soon runs afoul of David Dilbeck (Burt Reynolds), a local politician who desires her. Now a beloved piece of '90s cheese, Striptease was lambasted by critics for its overt melodrama and ham-fisted approach to th...
Starring Daryl Hannah
1. Stream now on Tubi Though a bit verbose, Dancing at the Blue Iguana attempted to show the harsh realitiesof the world of exotic dance, while largely ignoring the art form itself. The indie hit centers on dancers at the Blue Iguana Club (Sandra Oh, Daryl Hannah, Jennifer Tilly, Charlotte Ayanna, and Sheila Kelley) who each yearn for a better life. Despite being unfair to the profession, the film offered enough compelling storylines to stay interesting, and the acting was top-notch. While ma...
Starring Channing Tatum
Closing out the trilogy of Magic Mike films, Magic Mike's Last Dance was a mostly satisfying conclusion to the beloved series of stripper movies. Mike (Channing Tatum) has taken to bartending after his business went bust, and he is lured to London by socialite Maxandra (Salma Hayek) to perform once again. Like the previous installments, Last Dance had plenty of scintillating dancing and didn't abandon the human element behind the performers. However, the story fell flat comparatively and was...

Diana (LisaRaye McCoy) strips to support her familywhile also keeping on the straight and narrow by helping younger strippers make it in the business. Deftly blending its comedy and its drama, The Players Club featured a stellar cast of Black stars from the late 1990s. Never dipping into melodramatics, Di...
Starring Salma Hayek
Stripping is only one small part of From Dusk Till Dawn, but it essentially serves as the major turning point for the film. On the run from the law, the Gecko brothers flee to Mexico and find themselves at a bar that is a haven for vampires. From Dusk Till Dawn is a movie that changes genres halfway through, going from a crime thriller to a monster movie.Salma Hayek's lengthy strip sequencewas largely meant to titillate the audience, but it also served as the transition in the story where the...
Starring Robert Ri'chard
One of the biggest complaints about the wildly successful Magic Mike franchise was that it lacked a diverse range of characters, and had an almost exclusively white cast. Chocolate City arrives to rectify that problem and follows Michael (Robert Ri'chard) who has a lucrative career as a stripper but struggles with the stigma of his profession. While delivering plenty of memorable strip scenes, Chocolate City also touched on the backward way in which large swaths of society look down on stripp...
