Nobody who has seen Pink Flamingos forgets it in a hurry. Directed by the king of camp, John Waters, the film will live infamy mainly thanks to the performance of the flamboyant drag queen Divine. The film made Divine an underground star when it was released in 1972 and audiences could not believe the lengths she would go to in order to shock them. Made for a paltry $10,000, Pink Flamingos makes up for a lack of budget by staging some of the most outrageous sequences ever committed to celluloid. Featuring unsimiluted oral sex, graphic nudity and other questionable acts and tastelessness, Pink Flamingos really doesn't care what you think of it. The coup de grâce is the scene in which Divine eats, on camera, fresh dog excrement. There's a joke about the film in there somewhere.
