How about AFIs top 100 T&A Moments?
Of the top of my head, the nominations for the list would be...
Porky's
Showgirls
Strip Tease
Scandal
Eyes Wide Shut
The Graduate
Terminator 3
Boogie Nights

If the list is expanded to include showing characters in undergarments or suggesting T&A (without actually showing)...
National Lampoons Vacation
Alien
any James Bond flick
