I've often contended that Elisha Cuthbert in "The Girl Next Door" is the sexiest a woman has ever looked in a single film. One movie, one actress - this is as hot as it gets for me.
Discuss. Seriously, who tops it? She is a just a total friggin knockout in this movie.
I love her in this but how about Cameron Diaz in The Mask.... Cameron had the sexiest entrance in a movie - when she came into the bank to get out of the rain and the camera pans up her leg. I'm a straight woman but damn.

Good Grief! Has anyone here ever heard of Marilyn Monroe? "Some Like It Hot", "Niagara", "The Seven Year Itch", and virtually every other film Monroe appeared in would knock Miss Cuthbert off her pins with one wink, smile, or blown kiss. Nothing wrong with Miss Cuthbert, BTW, she's lovely, but seriously- no contest- MM is the dictionary definition of sexy.
I was actually thinking the same thing after watching this movie again. I thought to myself no way she still looks as hot as I thought she was back when I first saw this and lo and behold to my surprise she did! Her character still holds up well.
In answer to your question I'd say there were other actresses in certain scenes for certain moments but I really think she's probably right up there for being able to carry that personification of sexiness throughout the entire film. It's quite a feat! Her presence throughout this whole movie is incredibly strong and she absolutely exemplifies the girl next door. I mean it's almost impossible to take your eyes off her!
MM is highly over rated. Maybe for her time she was all that, but not of all time. Her face wasn't that pretty, marty feldman-ish eyes, her body was ok, but her voice was a deal breaker.
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
I'm normally not much for blondes, but dammit if I don't agree. She was absurdly hot in every scene in the movie. Only other example I can think of that comes close is Jennifer Love Hewitt in Heartbreakers.
Rebecca DeMornay in Risky Business. When she first shows up at his house and the wind blows her dress- that about did it for me. She may not be as beautiful as some of the others but she crushes them sexiness-wise.
