Sleaze queen Divine lives in a caravan with her mad hippie son Crackers and her 250-pound mother Mama Edie, trying to rest quietly on their laurels as ‘the filthiest people alive’. But competition is brewing in the form of Connie and Raymond Marble, who sell heroin to schoolchildren and kidnap and impregnate female hitchhikers, then sell the babies to lesbian couples. Finally, they challenge Divine directly, and battle commences.
Kill everyone now! Condone first degree murder! Advocate cannibalism! Eat shit! Filth is my politics! Filth is my life!
Words to live every day by
This isn’t just a B movie, it’s a D movie.
D for Divine, of course.
I was honestly surprised that this John Waters classic hadn’t been posted before. Pink Flamingos is arguably the ultimate b-movie/midnight movie.
John Waters movies are great !
Does Divine feature in the soundtrack too? Could be awesome to hear at full volume
… apparently no, which is a shame https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Flamingos#Music
I got to see this at my local theatre this year, one of the strangest movie going experiences in recent memory.
