A look at "Pink Flamingos," John Waters' outrageous 1972 cult classic about two families competing to be the "filthiest people alive." The film made a star, of sorts, of female impersonator Divine- two words dog poop!




Tonight at 10pm (eastern) on AMC.

The filthiest film ever!

I remember thet guy doing special "tricks" with his arse. WTF?

I LOVE PINK FLAMINGOS, Doesn't she Eat Dog Poop? Or something?but Ya gotta watch DESPERATE LIVING....Between Edith EGG Woman and Divine did she get Raped by a Lobster in this one? Polyester is Great,Lust In The DUST, Cry Baby. Divine Rocked..Oh it coulda been FEMALE TROUBLE with the LOBSTER NOT SURE.Gotta watch em again. CYN...Ya ROCK.

My favorite line:

"Eat the bird, bitch!"

"You have been convicted of asshole-ism. Prepare to die."

I saw this for the first time in an Independent Film course..."Cinema Mavericks" I think it was called...it was right before I usually ate lunch, but that day, after seeing the final shot, I completely lost my appetite. Great movie, though.

That moive makes me wanna vomit...god bless John Waters.

People go on and on about the doo doo scene like that's the most vile thing about it. Really, there are scenes in there that terrify me more.

The first time I saw that movie was also the first time I ever ate Papa John's pizza. Consequently, I always think of one whenever the other comes to mind.

"Get the balls, momma."

But what if there weren't no more chickens? Would that mean there weren't be no more eggs?

Actually, I think Serial Mom might be a better starting point for the uninitiated, then work up to the more dangerous stuff.
