If you like exploitation and drive in movies, I highly recommend the complete ouvre of Doris Wishman.

Start with NUDE ON THE MOON (1962, Color):

Two scientists inherit a large sum of money and decide to take a trip to the moon, where, instead of finding a barren rock landscape they discover a tropical Florida paradise loaded with palm trees and topless women who communicate telepathically. That's right, these topless moon maidens DON'T SPEAK like those pesky Earth women! The scientists do exactly what they are supposed to do: observe (peep) and record (photograph). Doris shot this film at Coral Castle in Miami ( http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/FLHOMcoral.html ).

Next check out the double feature BAD GIRLS GO TO HELL / ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER MAN (1965, BW):

Once the innocence of the "nudie" films wore off, Doris turned to "roughies" which were more violent than "Nudies" but still rather tame compared to today's films. Fortunately, Doris didn't lose her bizarre sense of plotting, her unusual use of cutaways, and of course her overdone melodrama.

Once you've recovered from those, move on to a pair of her biggest successes: DEADLY WEAPONS and DOUBLE AGENT 73, both starring the incomparable Chesty Morgan, 73-32-36, as the poster proclaims! (both in color)

In DEADLY WEAPONS, Chesty plays a woman whose husband is gunned down by mobsters so she is forced to take revenge by hunting them down, seducing them, and smothering them to death in her massive bosom.

I dare you to keep from laughing as Doris attempts to sell what is obviously someone's basement bar as a happening nightclub.

In DOUBLE AGENT 73, the fabulous Ms. Morgan (did I mention she speaks with a think Polish accent?) plays a secret agent with a camera implanted in her left breast. In order to take pictures, she must disrobe and squeeze her boob until we hear the shutter CLICK! Doris kicks the tension up a notch by making the camera a BOMB as well, which will explode if Chesty doesn't take the pictures and get the film back to HQ in 36 hours!

Alas, Ms. Wishman passed away last year, at the age of 83 just after shooting her 25th feature film in her beloved home town of Miami. An original to the end.

Watch them with a big group of friends and you'll have a blast.
