Beefcake (1999) is a docu-drama homage to the muscle magazines of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s—in particular, "Physique Pictorial" magazine, published by Bob Mizer of the Athletic Model Guild. It was inspired by a picture book by F. Valentine Hooven III (published by Taschen) and was directed by Thom Fitzgerald.

The film stars Daniel MacIvor, Carroll Godsman, Jack Griffin Mazieka, Jonathan Torrens, and Josh Peace in pastiche recreations of life at the Athletic Model Guild, mixed with interviews with models and photographers whose work actually appeared in the early magazines, including Jack LaLanne and Joe Dallesandro.

"Beefcake" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1999 and was released by Strand Releasing in the USA; it was nominated for three Genie Awards.
