Movie shoe-loss scene list

I want to try and make a comprehensive list of movie shoe-loss scenes (if one hasn't already been done on this board). There are many films I have in my collection, or can recall off the top of my head, which contain these scenes. But, there are so many other action/horror movies out there, where most of these scenes occur, that it's hard to keep up. Here's a start:

In no particular order:

Night of the Living Dead (1968):
This may be the oldest movie I can think of. Judith O'Dea's character, while fleeing from a zombie in the cemetery, falls and loses one shoe. Before getting up to run, she kicks the other shoe off, and runs. She is seen for, maybe an hour or more of the movie, in her stockinged-feet. Look closely, RHT!

Night of the Living Dead (1990):
Just a remake. Same details, only here she loses one shoe, and kicks off the other while running. Same amount of screen time stockinged-footed, some nice closeups too.

Crocodile Dundee (1986):
Linda Koslowski's character, while running down the streets of Manhattan to get to the subway, takes off her high heels and throws them in seperate directions on the street, and runs barefoot. Nice shots of her running down rush-hour traffic New York and into the subway, barefoot (her feet get mighty dirty too, I might add!).

Batman (1989):
While exiting the car (the Batmobile) to run, Kim Basinger takes off her heels and throws them out of the car into the street. She gets out of the car and runs in her white stockinged feet.

Raider of the Lost Ark (1981):
Karen Allen's character loses one high heel while dangling over the excavated pit. She throws the other away and spends rest of movie running barefoot through sand and dirty roads.

Point of No Return (1993):
Bridget Fonda's character slips heels off under table to run in her black stockinged feet. Good shots of running through restaurant bathroom, kitchen, alleyways with no shoes in this scene.

La Femme Nikita (TV show, 1st episode):
Same detail, TV show made from movie. Peta Wilson takes heels off during shootout, throws them down, continues in black fishnets.

I know there are others that I just can't think of. There are a few things I seem to be picky about:

For some reason, I just find it a bigger turn on when the girl completely ditches the shoes rather then carry them. Somehow, it shows a greater level of distress. Even when the "Emergency" of the scene is over, she is still without shoes. I didn't list the original "Nikita" movie, because she carries her shoes. It's just too easy for her to put them back on, I guess.

Also, I know we all love Hitchcock for his fetishism, and both North by Northwest and Marnie had shoe removal scenes, but IMO, the girls didn't "lose" them.

Another note, in "Batman," watch the whole movie. Kim Basinger actually loses her shoes THREE times in the film. The one listed above, another time where she removes her shoes, saying her feet are tired, and the final moment where she loses them accidentally at the end. I wonder if she pushed for all the foot scenes?

I've seen Bridget Fonda in Single White Female, barefoot in a few scenes (no shoe removal though). I think she pushed for the shoe removal also in "Point."

Sorry to be so long winded, I'm trying to see if we can all make a complete list!
