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

If the list is expanded to include showing characters in undergarments or suggesting T&A (without actually showing)...

Alien
any James Bond flick

There was also a "Bonanza" prequel called "Ponderosa."

"St. Elsewhere" had an episode set many years before the beginning of the series.

The film "Missing in Action" (Chuck Norris) had a prequel.

"The Scorpion King" was a prequel to "The Mummy."

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" had a prequel, "Butch and Sundance: The Early Days."

Re: "Batman Begins" - prequel or not

I'd say that "Batman Begins" is not a prequel to the 1989 movie "Batman", or to any of that movie's successors (1992's "Batman Returns", 1995's "Batman Forever, and 1997's "Batman and Robin"). "Batman Begins" has has little or no connection to those other movies from a creative production standpoint. Additionally, "Batman Begins" has already established a different story universe than the one in those other movies. For example, in "Batman Begins", as in the comics, it was Joe Chill who killed Bruce Wayne's parents, not Jack Napier, later known as The Joker (see 1989s "Batman"). What "Batman Begins" shares with those other Batman movies is the source material, which is the comics history.

So Batman Begins is more like the Planet of the Apes remake, a re-addaptation of the origional source material not connected to previous movie?

Pretty much.
