Hef-Stop: 11 Movies for the 'Playboy' Club

FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! (1965)
The cult sexploitation movie — a tale of money, murder, and large-breasted women — was directed by cleavage-obsessed auteur and onetime glamour photographer Russ Meyer. The so-called ''King Leer'' regularly shot for Playboy during the magazine's early years and photographed his own wife, Eve, for the title's June 1955 centerfold. Meyer believed that Hefner paved the way for his often hugely successful movies. Film critic Roger Ebert, the director's friend and collaborator, once noted that Meyer ''felt that the success of Playboy had prepared the American market for an unabashed, high-quality skin flick.''
