Carlton’s brief moment in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

He didn’t quit his day job, but he probably could have done. He also only got down to his trousers, so this is as far as Carlton’s going to get.

2

Sam’s moves in Glee

We might only have gotten a glimpse of Sam’s underage, underdressed styling, but White Chocolate was worth at least a few dollars.

3

Elizabeth Berkely working the pole in Showgirls

No list of on screen strippers would be complete without an honourable mention of Jessie Spano’s rogue days (maybe she got into the caffeine pills again. Jessie, we begged you to Just Say No). The girl licked the pole. She deserves something for her troubles.

4

Jasmine Dubrow in Independence Day.

Shout out to Vivica A. Fox’s time on screen as an exotic dancer. We don’t get to see much—the aliens rudely invaded half way through her set—but there was a high kick thrown into the mix there, which suggests a valid performance. Girl knows her stuff.

Natalie Portman’s stripper role in Closer

She wears a kicky outfit , that wig is everything and she can do the splits without breaking a sweat. But after that, it’s less stripping, more witty banter and that will only take her this far.

Jessica Alba as Nancy Callahan in Sin City

There’s the whole ‘shy bookworm grew boobs and became a stripper’ back-story, which is a nice touch. Plus, there’s the strong on-stage wardrobe, some decent moves and the girl can crack a whip. Solid effort.

7

Charlie’s Angels Pussycat Doll Dance

Maybe this was a poorly concealed excuse to get a whip back in Lucy Liu’s hand after the barracuda scene in the first movie. All right, it definitely was. But let’s not deny the choreography, here, or the fact that Cameron Diaz’s clothes are literally whipped off.

8

The Full Monty

Middle-aged white men who take to stripping because they’ve lost their jobs, do something described in the script as a "full-frontal naked star-jump". FULL POINTS.

9

Jennifer Beals shower in Flashdance

This is the dance that has inspired all of your chair-work since then. The videos that turn up on Instagram the next day suggest you still have some work to do, but inside, you’re channelling Jennifer.

10

Magic Mike. Just, the entire film.

This was inspired by Channing Tatum’s work as a real stripper, so it’s authentic. And, and… Channing Tatum…
