Pink Flamingos
(New Line Cinema)While Baltimore-based director John Waters made movie history with Hairspray, his lesser-known titles are some of the most hilarious, transgressive, and surprisingly heartfelt in cinema. Pink Flamingos stars Waters’ genderqueer muse Divine as a criminal mastermind hiding under the pseudonym “Babs Johnson,” dubbed by a tabloid newspaper as “the filthiest person alive.” Jealous of her success, Divine’s criminal rivals Connie and Raymond Marble attempt to steal the title from her by committing acts of moral depravity — and so begins a competition for who can be the absolute worst person in Maryland. And honestly, the world. This pitch black comedy features all sorts of hilarious horrors, including cannibalism, tar and featherings, and boxes of human feces sent through the mail. A brilliantly vile movie, Pink Flamingos is a horror camp crime caper of monstrous porportions, just don’t watch it on a full stomach.
