The infamous underground-turned-canonical film from the Pope of Trash himself! The saga of the "filthiest woman alive" (Divine in her most iconic role) is as outrageous, political, and funny as ever.
One of the most notorious midnight movies of all time, Pink Flamingos follows trailer-park dweller Babs Johnson (Divine) and her loyal entourage as they feud with sinister suburbanites Connie and Raymond Marble for the title of "the filthiest people alive." A landmark of underground cinema, Pink Flamingos continues to stun even the most jaded viewers. Watch it—if you dare. [93 min; comedy; English]

"Years after Pink Flamingos was first unleashed, the film has lost none of its danger, its wit, its psychotic exuberance." — Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
