For a very similar effect to Cuthbert's appearance in The Girl Next Door, see Amy Locane in 'Carried Away' with Dennis Hopper as the older man she seduces and torments. Her performance has a great advantage over Cuthbert's in that Locane actually appears nude several times. Cuthbert just teases (and before you flame me, recall that she's playing a porn star).
But when it comes to stunning, you'd better know your film history before throwing a bunch of superlatives around. Those screen goddesses of the 30s and 40s with the glorious black and white photography, incomparable lighting, and expert direction are hard to beat. Watch some films with Hedy Lamar or a young Lana Turner and then talk to me about "stunning." Watch Rita Hayworth in Gilda and then answer the question posed by this thread.
One of the most underrated films for the sheer sexual power of the actresses is the 1941 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with Spencer Tracy in the title roles and Lana Turner and Ingrid Bergman as the damsels in distress. Oh my god.
