John Waters offers a comic tale of a director even more outrageous and radical than he was in the days of Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble. Stephen Dorff stars as the leader of a cult-like group of underground filmmakers committed to bringing Hollywood to its knees through acts of terrorism directed at mainstream commercial films. Melanie Griffith is the spoiled movie star they kidnap to further their cause. The typically twisted supporting cast includes Ricki Lake, Patty Hearst, Mink Stole and Eric John Waters---USA---2000---88 mins.

HAIRSPRAY

John Waters' breakthrough commercial work is a funny, witty and extremely well-made piece of mock nostalgia, about the efforts of a politically conscious white girl to integrate a local television bandstand in 1962 Baltimore. Memorable as Divine's final collaboration with Waters, the casting is superb and Waters has grown tremendously as a stylist, with a particularly shrewd use of color and a shock cutting style reminiscent of early Russ Meyer. With Ricki Lake, Sonny Bono, Debbie Harry, Pia Zadora and Ric Ocasek. John Waters---USA---1988---96 mins.

HAIRSPRAY/ PECKER COMBO

A DVD twin-pack featuring two of John Waters' more affectionate features. Hairspray (1988, 96 mins.) is the film in which the King of Underground Outrage infiltrated the mainstream. Who would have thought the man who made Pink Flamingos would turn out a sweet, PG-rated bit of campy nostalgia about a teen dance competition in 1962? Yet the director manages to fully place his unique imprint on the proceedings, and the cast (Ricki Lake, Sonny Bono, Divine, Debbie Harry, Pia Zadora) is pure Waters. Pecker (1998, 87 mins.) stars Edward Furlong as a humble photographer whose hobby leads to unlikely stardom. Christina Ricci, Lili Taylor and Martha Plimpton also star. Both films include audio commentaries by John Waters. John Waters---USA---1988/1998---96/87 mins.

The undisputed king of celluloid sleaze is featured in a boxed set boasting unusual quantities of filth and fun. Includes Pink Flamingos (1972, 95 mins.), Waters' most famous dive into the depths of bad taste, starring the cross-dressing Divine as a wanted criminal who will devour anything to earn the title of "Filthiest Person Alive". Female Trouble (1975, 95 mins.) is the gross-out epic's twisted follow-up, a trash comedy that milks child abuse, incest, and mutilation for laughs. Desperate Living (1977, 90 mins.) is another story about a homicidal matriarch, this time with a slightly sweeter spin. Polyester (1981, 86 mins.) is an ever-so-slightly more mainstream satire that lambasts suburban mores via campy melodrama. Hairspray (1988, 94 mins.) is a cheery musical comedy about a young woman's efforts to integrate a popular televised dance contest. Pecker (1998, 90 mins.) is Waters' artworld send-up, starring Edward Furlong in the role of a naive photographer who's tagged for fame. Finally, A Dirty Shame (2004, 88 mins.) finds Waters heading back into smuttier terrai n with an over-the-top comedy about a nymphomaniac's romp through Baltimore. John Waters---USA---1972-2004---638 mins.

What can one say about Pink Flamingos? There are certainly few films like it, and most of those few come from the same, twisted imagination of John Waters. It's fair to say that (for better or worse) such mainstream bad-taste comedies as There's Something About Mary and Scary Movie would have been unimaginable without this cheaply made, gross-out affair that will either delight you or appall you, or perhaps a little bit of both. Chickens are sexually molested and dog excrement is eaten as the one and only Divine pursues his/her quest to become "the filthiest person alive." John Waters---USA---1972---108 mins.

Billed as "the Groom Reaper," John Waters hosts this Court TV series dedicated retelling stories of actual weddings that ended in the murder of one spouse by the other.
