Starring: Jane Fonda
Barbarella is a lovely little romp through the sexist world of Outer Space. Jane Fonda plays Barbarella, a space-age superheroine whose many talents include undressing in zero-gravity. Her mission is to find the rogue scientist Duran Duran and return him to Planet Earth. Along the way she encounters an army [...]

Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. That’s the main point of this movie. Boobs and blood. Somebody is going around killing people. Who is it? It’s pretty obvious, but I won’t ruin the suspense. Sharon Stone stars as the key suspect, who bares her boobs, has sex with people and makes [...]
Starring: Mink Stole, Edith Massey
This is one of John Waters’ earlier films, and probably second only to Multiple Maniacs in terms of sheer weirdness.
Mink Stole (the world’s only female drag queen) stars as a rich shrieking housewife who one day murders her husband and sets off in a stolen car with [...]
Starring: Tura Satana, Haji, Lori Williams, Sue Bernard
John Waters thinks this is the best movie ever made. Why not? It’s the epic adventure of four voluptuous go-go dancers who like to spend their free hours drag racing and making smartaleck remarks. “Yeah, so what’s your point?” “No return, and you just crossed [...]
What can I say about a movie that has flying leather queens and giant phallic rocketships? This is sort of like Barbarella done by Tom of Finland instead of Mel Brooks.
Ming the Merciless decides to terrorize Earth by unleashing such meteorological horrors as “hot hail” (whatever?) upon us. Flash is a lovable [...]
Starring: Ricki Lake, Divine
Here’s a nostalgic look at the sixties that doesn’t involve Tom Hanks.
Long before Ricky Lake was the queen of daytime trash TV, she was the queen of the hop. Here she stars as Tracy Turnblad, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who rises to fame [...]
Starring: Divine, Tab Hunter
Although Divine stars in this movie, it’s not a John Waters film. It’s too bad, because it ultimately falls short of the master. It’s not a complete bust, however.
Divine plays a hapless young maiden who sets out across the desert to a find her fortune in the town [...]

When I heard that this film existed, I could hardly believe it! It does exist and it far exceeds all of my wildest cheesy dreams. I have no idea where or if you can rent it on tape, so watch it if you can!
The year: 1975. The scene: a [...]

Divine stars in this flick about a travelling circus of freaks that gets dead-ended in Baltimore. When hapless passers-by stop to admire the show, they get mugged by the performers. Soon Divine’s cohorts turn against her, and she’s out on the street. Divine discovers her lesbian side– but too late, as [...]
Starring: Demi Moore, Burt Reynolds, Armand Assante, Ving Rhames
The scariest thing about this movie is that I think the movie- makers thought they were making some sort of feminist statement by making it. Sure, it portrays strippers as being good, decent, hard- working ladies who just need a few bucks. But come on! [...]

This is John Waters’ most notorious film and it’s also supposed to be the most tasteless film ever made. Personally, I think my definition of “bad taste” might be a little bit different from most people’s, but I won’t argue that this film deserves its reputation.
Divine [...]

Oh, to love and lose! To love and lose again!
Divine stars in this John Waters films about deception and betrayal. What at first may seem like the perfect suburban family (Mom has a strange addiction to air freshener, Dad runs a dirty movie theater, sis dates a punk [...]
