Sexy Beast (2000)
The Model: Ray Winstone, soaking up a bit of sun in the opening scene of Jonathan Glazer’s superlative thriller (beer gut: model’s own).
The Swimsuit: A tiny pair of gold budgie-smugglers. We’re not about to ask him to cover up…
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
The Model: A never-sexier Salma Hayek, starring as exotic dancer / vampire queen Satanico Pandemonium. Great name…
The Swimsuit: There’s no ocean for miles, but that’s okay, as Satanico’s crimson bikini is merely a prop for her dance routine. And vampires don’t tend to be very big on swimming, as a general rule.
Just Go With It (2011)
The Model: Sports Illustrated regular Brooklyn Decker, inprobably cast the girlfriend of Adam Sandler. He never seems to do too badly on screen, does he?
The Swimsuit: A gaudy yellow concoction designed to draw attention to those jaw-dropping curves. Mission accomplished!
Suddenly, Last Summer (1959)
The Model: Elizabeth Taylor at her sexiest. Beachside smouldering has never looked so effortless.
The Swimsuit: A sleek white one-piece designed to show off Ms Taylor’s sensational figure.
Point Break (1991)
The Model: Woah dudes, its like, Keanu Reeves! Or something. Right? Dudes?
The Swimsuit: When Keanu pulls on that purple wetsuit, he forgets all about the job at hand and just focuses on the rush of big-wave riding. That’s some righteous shit right there.
Bring It On (2000)
The Model: Geek favourite Eliza Dushku, who manages to take a seemingly wholesome high-school movie and dirty it up a treat.
The Swimsuit: A baby-blue bikini that puts Kirsten Dunst’s effort firmly in the shade.
The Sure Thing (1985)
The Model: Nicolette Sheridan, more recently seen as Wisteria Lane’s resident man-eater in Desperate Housewives .
The Swimsuit: A bikini so white you can see your reflection in it. The dictionary definition of pristine.
The Big Lebowski (1998)
The Model: It’s Tara Reid, back before she became a walking advert for tabloid newspapers. A memorable character for many reasons, not least her use of the line, “I’ll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.” Classy girl.
The Swimsuit: A lurid lime-green affair, the perfect attire for the discerning trailer-trash sunbather.
Blue Hawaii (1961)
The Model: Elvis Presley. Don’t step on his blue lycra shorts, uh-huh-huh! We’ll get our coats…
The Swimsuit: The perfect board-short - not so long as to impair one’s ability to swim, but long enough to keep everything safely tucked away.
Disturbia (2007)
The Model: Sarah Roemer gets a young Shia Lebeouf hot under the collar by parading around her garden in a tiny little bikini. The tease!
The Swimsuit: One of several she wears in the film, this bewitching orange number is enough to get Shia reaching for the binoculars.
