Pink Flamingos
"One of the most vile, stupid and repulsive films ever made."
This landmark cult classic sets a benchmark for the bizarre that has never been equaled. Divine stars as Babs Johnson, "The Filthiest Person Alive." When fellow degenerate Mink Stole coverts her title, down and dirty competition ensues. Don't miss the infamous dog walking scene, or the fabulous Edith Massey starring as "The Egg Lady."

Truly "an exercise in bad taste" - AVreviews
Holy, moley! I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I rented this one, and maybe that was a good thing. This type of movie works best when you are unaware of how truly infamous it was — and continues to be.
It is vile, disgusting, crude, badly acted in parts, badly filmed and devoid of any good taste. However, it must be experienced for any true film fanatic. Not a good film by any means, but it's certainly unique.
Also, the John Waters commentary and bonus footage introductions are fabulous. He had a one-of-a-kind wit, so watch them if you can.They're COMEDIES - Babs_Johnson
These movies are ridiculous and over-the-top. If the spectacle of an exasperated mother saying to her child "can't you just sit there and look out into the air? Isn't that enough?" isn't hysterical to you, then these movies are not for you. If it is an amusing scene, you will probably find much to enjoy here. Done on miniscule budgets by people who loved what they were doing. Pay close attention to the furnishings for instance and you will see carefully crafted sets with props gathered from thrift stores. Divine is a wonder. I love these movies, they are my favorite John Waters movies.Trashy, Weak yet intriging and funny - Film_Prophet1
Pink Flamingos is the most underground film. It must be seen only at midnight in order to get the feeling of entering a dark, bizzare world where no one is normal and nothing will be seen the same. Pink Flamingos is certanly nothing to be seen on Saturday Matinees since the characters commit acts that no one can believe even after watching it with their own two eyes. If one can sit through this film, They can sit through anything.
The story is about Babs Johnson(Divine), the appropriatly titled "Filthiest person in the world". She(or He) has kept herself hidden and is currently living in a trailer with her nutball family. Now she forced to defend her title after being challange (Through feces in the mail) by a couple who keep female hitchikers in the cellar and impregnate them in to sell the babies to gay couples. Are you disgusted yet.
The most memorable character would have to be the egg lady. Just seeing her half-dressed in the crib one will never forget her. What makes her the most memorable her really bad acting. The way she cries for eggs in an extremly flat delivery the audience will be left laughing till they can no longer breath. Makes you want to rent it, right?
What makes Pink Flamingos so amazing is that it exists. The actors(If they can be called that) certanly prove themselves filthy. from chicken sex to the infamous scene of Divine eating dog shit they commit every act you are ashamed to think of. The scene are delivered with 50's rock and roll in the background ex. "How much is that dog in the window" plays during the famous dog shit eating scene. You are either renting this now or are totally grossed out now.
