Not only is this a longer-than-usual tickling scene, it's definitely among the most cinematic, and beautifully-photographed of any mainstream scene
I know of. It comes right at the end of one of the GREAT suspense sequences from none other than Alfred Hitchcock. "Strangers On A Train", one of his absolute greatest films.
I'm going to attach just the tickling below in a low-quality mp4, but if you REALLY want to fully appreciate this scene, watch the full five-minute sequence (linked below). The master of suspense USES the tickling to help tell the story, so I think it's better to feel the pull and the tension, all leading up to our thing.
All you need to know is this:
A man is stalking this girl. She doesn't know who he is. But we, the audience
do...... and we know that he plans on murdering her. If you want to know a little bit more about
her: she's a young wife, cheating on her husband, out, flirting with the boys at a carnival, and she's obviously intrigued by the man who is following her.
I think the tickling part of the sequence works WAY better if you get caught up with the whole fascinating dance that's going on between her and the man who's stalking her (the fantastic Robert Walker), contrasting it with the youthful horseplay. The photography is STUNNING; the direction is masterful.

(Youtubers can see PART of the sequence
here, which interestingly entitles itself A Scene About Sex, Food And Death. I think it's much more effective to see the entire five-minute sequence from the beginning though.)
All you need to know watching it is....this girl is going to get tickled.

BONUS NON-TK CLIP FOR THE FOOTFOLK
While we're doing great cinematic mainstream scenes, I might as well throw this in here: the 1931 version of "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" (
still the greatest version of the story onscreen) has a scene in it that I think ALL of us can relate to.
Dr. Jekyll (Frederic March) is with Ivy Pierson (Miriam Hopkins), and there's some dialogue... he even does the doctor touching the tummy and she gives a bit of a start....not a ticklish reaction per se, but whatever.......then it basically turns into a nylon/barefoot/legs fetish clip for a bit..... literally....except with amazing lighting. You're watching this horror movie and then all of a sudden you get this fetish section. After an unusually long time of this, Jekyll's friend arrives..... there's more dialog, and you see her bare foot/sole coming out of the covers.......but THEN......she starts swinging her leg, like a barefoot pendulum, beckoning him seductively to "come back"......and as you can see......even after the two men leave....she's lingering in the subconscious for a
real long time......
