Showgirls.

Nomi(Elizabeth Berkley) hitches a ride to Las Vegas with dreams of making it as a showgirl, but starts out working at a sleasy lap dancing joint run by a James Bond baddie. eventually though she gets a job in a chorus line and ends up in a bizarre sort of love triangle with Gina Gershon and her boyfriend(Kyle Maclachlan, that chap out of twin peaks).

i have to say that i quite like Showgirls. yes it's trash and camp and with over the top acting, but it is certainly entertaining, well shot, funny, and never boring. and would honestly rather watch something like this than the garbage that comes out of Hollywood nowadays, especially the endless superhero crap.

And i have to say that Paul Verhoeven is a great director who at least has the balls to make films like this and stick two fingers up to political correctness.

Definately a flawed movie for sure, and featuring an hilarious sex scene were Berkley flaps about like a seal in the pool. but will still give it a solid 70 out of 100.
