Does anyone know of any films about or featuring burlesque?

I've managed to get hold of some stuff and recently got 'Lady of Burlesque' but have yet to watch it (hopefully tonight).

Please let me know what you would reccomend.

I use film clips in my classes. The vintage clips tend to be all over the place and pretty easy to get recommendations for, as well as collected on DVDs with the word "Burlesque" in the name and hence easy to find. For more modern clips I recommend:

Christopher Walken in Pennies from Heaven

Valerie Perrine in "Lenny" as Hot Honey Harlow
Mind-bogglingly sexy

Elvira in "Here I Am"
Amazing tassel twirling

The next-to-last scene in "Slap Shot" (yes, the Hockey Film)

Diane Lane doing a fan dance in The Big Town to Harlem Nocturne--GORGEOUS

And search for "burlesque" on youtube or other video-clip sites

That's the tip of my iceberg!

Oooh thank you, have been trying to have a look at some of those clips. Unfortunately my speakers seem to have stopped working for no apparent reason, but ho hum pictures speak louder than words I guess.

Think I'm gonna have to have a bit of a home film fest when I get the computer in working order.
