I suppose I've seen a fair amount of formal wetlook from Hollywood but by far the best formal wetlook of any kind is Wamtec's raw footage tape of the Beauty Pagent in the pool from the early to mid 90's. The girls were fully decked out in gowns, hose, heels and even a couple in elbow gloves. They were fully dry to start (not even damp hair) and waded into the pool, dunked and swam around. And they stayed dressed throughout the shoot. They even climbed out of the pool with still wearing everything while they waited for the next scene. That was wetlook at it's best.

Gee....any list we try to do....will be hard for anybody to universally agree upon.

We would need to have categories....just like the oscars...i.e. best jeans scene, best dress scene, etc etc

The Sharon Tate scene is from 1969....not 2006....and the actual wetlook in that scene is about 2.5 seconds...as she runs out of the pool and past the cameraman....so I would classify that clip in the category of "best wetlook scene under 3 seconds for 1969"...ha ha

Most mainstream critics can agree upon the top 10 best movies of all time....e.g. Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Schindler's List, Shawshank Redemption etc.....but I doubt we can get a concensus on this forum as to what is a great wetlook scene. Take for example, the recent movie CONSTANTINE wet scene....the casual wetlook and jeans and pants folks are raving about that scene....but for a formal wetlook or dresses and skirts fan, that scene is not rated highly at all.

Good luck with your poll....it might be a fun exercise.

Are we ready to do a 2006 top ten of the best wetlook scenes in mainstream films.

My numero uno is still the late great much lamented Sharon Tate in 'The 12 chairs' - what a gorgeous, gorgeous woman who got wet in her clothes a few times for us especially in the Dean Martin film 'Wrecking Crew'
