Pink Flamingos (1972 ; 92 Brain Eaters) : This is a black comedy written, directed, produced, composed, shot, and edited by the amazing John Waters. This film stars John Waters as the narrator, the drag queen Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Danny Mills, Cookie Mueller, Edith Massey and so on. The film caused such controversy that it became one of the most notorious cult films ever made with tons of shocking scenes,  when it was re- released it was given a NC-17 rating. The budge for this film was around $10,000 and grossed around $6,000,000. It was filmed on the weekends in Phoenix and a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland (the home town of John Waters), during the week John Waters would raise the money. He said the film's budget was so tight, that he could not afford "A" and "B" reels, the work print was in effect the master copy. There was a sequel written to this film, entitled "Flamingos Forever". It takes place 15 years after the action of the original film, showing Babs' return to Baltimore with Cotton, Crackers, Miss Edie, and her new grandson Dwayne, an 8-year-old transvestite. Their foe in this film is Vera Venninger, Connie Marble's sister, and her husband, Wilbur, a necrophile who runs a mortuary. Troma Films offered to finance the picture for $600,000 but it was never made because Divine turned it down because he didn't think it was a good career move and then the death of Edith Massey. The screenplay is available in the book "Trash Trio".
  Pink Flamingos is about the filthiest person alive, Divine, who is using the codename Babs Johnson while living in a trailer in the woods with her mother Eddie, who loves eggs, her mad hippie son Crackers and her mate Cotton. The envious couple Connie and Raymond Marble, abduct and impregnate female hitchhikers to sell their babies to gay and lesbian couples. The money they make is invested in heroin that's sold in schools. They hire Cookie to have sex with Crackers and spy Divine to compete for the title of "the filthiest people alive". When the competition begins, Connie and Raymond Marble learn why Divine has this title.
  This is the perfect film for those who enjoy John Waters, drag queens, and filth!
