When it comes to leftfield shock cinema, there's none stranger than director John Waters - especially when you take into account his earlier films. These days, he's mostly remembered for creating Hairspray, or being an early champion of Johnny Depp. But before all that, Waters was making films with drag artist Divine - movies that have never been rivalled in terms of sleazy excess. In Pink Flamingos, Divine stars as Divine, living in a ramshackle trailer in the woods with her demented mother and hippie son. Together, they lock into a battle with a couple to become 'the filthiest people alive'. It's all really an excuse for Waters to push every boundary he can think of. It's not a film for the easily offended; it's probably not even a film for people who don't think they get offended. Because there's something here that will upset everyone. I won't list all of the films many transgressions here, but suffice to say, there's a standout scene that's impossible to forget once you've seen it. if you already know your movie lore, you'll already know what scene gets nominated from this film for the purposes of this list. It's perhaps the most uniquely outrageous acts committed to film (at least, a film given theatrical release in the US). It's the last scene of the movie, and Divine is contemplating her reputation. Its outside and Divine spots a small dog taking a dump. In one continuous shot, Divine kneels down, picks up the turd, then - unthinkably - begins eating it. What we witnessed evacuating from the bowels of a dog goes into the mouth of a performer without an edit, meaning there were no special effects employed (other than the director later claiming the dog had been fed steak for three days prior to the shoot). Saner minds can only ponder as to why someone would even want to enact such a scene - or for that matter, dream it up and film it in the first place. Somehow Waters went on to gain pretty much mainstream respectability (even starring in an episode of The Simpsons), showing how selective memories can be - at least when it comes to studio executives; surely the only people who are able to forget that image.
