MikeBrooklyn Yes, but I have seen more female belly buttons in 2017-2020 than I did from 2020-present.
Anyway, I found some 2000s movies that had some unintentional belly exposure. I am not sure if these belong to the ‘shirt lift from stretching’ category, but I do think it interesting seeing how 2000s female fashion is flimsy and can easily betray a woman’s stomach. I have been seeing this for years by the combination of free movies on youtube, reviews of these films and even searching up an actress filmography at the time. Also, the occasional ‘six degrees of Kevin Bacon’ where I would see the co-star of some movie’s other films or work. You can see some are theatrical releases, even high grossing at the year of release, while others are obscure tv or video movies. Keep in mind I discovered these whenever I had extra time since 2019/2020 to present.
