Breast Help

As you guys know, I regularly have to write articles about breasts, which begins to tax even my considerable creativity on the subject. One way I thought to get several articles out of one topic was to run a series on the best breasts in film, but I need to generate a list.

I found a decent place to start w/ Film Threat's 50 best breasts list, but some of their choices are a little odd, and it's not a rank order list, which, of course, would be very hard to do. But if you guys can help me with a few suggestions, I'd be very grateful. Here's their list:

Mae West ("Maudie Triplet," Night after Night; "Tira," I'm no Angel)
Jane Russell
Marilyn Monroe
Dorothy Dandridge ("Malmendi, Queen of the Ashuba," Tarzan's Peril; "Carmen Jones," Carmen Jones)
Jayne Mansfield ("Hippolyta," The Loves of Hercules; "Camille Oaks," The Wayward Bus)
Sophia Loren ("Jimene," El Cid; "Dulcinea," Man of La Mancha)
Elizabeth Taylor ("Margaret Pollitt," Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; "Cleopatra," Cleopatra)
Brigitte Bardot ("Juliet Hardy" And God Created Woman)
Ursula Andress ("Vesper Lynd," Casino Royale; "Aphrodite," Clash of the Titans)
Honor Blackman ("Pussy Galore," Goldfinger)
Raquel Welch
Chesty Morgan
Tura Santana ("Varla," Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!)
Uschi Digard
Pam Grier
Jennifer Connelly
Monica Bellucci
Rosario Dawson
Scarlett Johansson
Eva Green
Jennifer Tilly
Asia Argento
Thandie Newton
Helen Mirren
Jessica Rabbit

If you search, you can find the list on their site, which includes film clips and a brief (often not very interesting) blurb.

I'm guessing some of these names are Russ Meyer's women? (if not, I suppose any discussion of breasts in film will have to research those...although I'm not sure they would technically be the "best" breasts in film).

This is a powerful topic!

At least one is (from Pussycat, no less). I'll be adding more info.

How about my girl Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

Yeah, I think we can make a case for Cates, who has some well-formed but slightly smaller breasts.
