Pink Flamingos

     From John Waters, the Titan of Trash comes Pink Flamingos. The story of the notorious Divine, the filthiest person alive and proud of it. Because of her criminal lifestyle, Divine has been forced to go underground, adopt the alias of Babs Johnson, and live in a trailer deep in the woods 

      Connie and Raymond Marble are "two jealous perverts" who loathe Divine and are hell-bent on destroying her reputation and stealing her title as the filthiest people alive. The Marbles run an illegal baby ring where female hitchhikers are thrown in a dungeon, and impregnated by their butler. The babies are then sold to lesbian couples who obviously can't legally adopt. They also fuel money to a gang of heroin pushers in the local elementary school. 

      All of this combined cannot top the notorious beauty Divine, who along with her traveling companion Miss Cotton, her mentally ill mother Miss Edie, and her delinquent son Crackers overthrow the Marbles and reclaim their position as the filthiest people alive. 

      Stay tuned for when the movie comes to a close because Divine has a little something extra filthy to show us. Not only is she the filthiest person alive, but she is also the filthiest actress alive. She proves this by feasting on some freshly squeezed dogshit (ugh, and it's...real). An ending that could make anyone gag.  A movie made solely to see how much shock value could be compiled into one film, a disgustingly fun ride!
