Summary: Greatest Soundtrack Ever!
Comment: The songs on this album never cease to make me smile and shake it for all its worth.The mental pictures from the film that each track conjures up is a bonus. Like Mr. Waters points out, these tunes are truly filthy!
Customer Rating:
Summary: still shocking
Comment: Divine and company at their vile best. VERY worth watching if you are a big fan of John Waters and his friends. Eggs Eggs. Chicken sex. Great hair. Turkey baster. I feel better knowing that even my most jaded friends are still disturbed by at least 2 scenes in this film. I like Multiple Maniacs better, in fact I like every John Waters movie better except Cecil B Demented (what a stinker).

Summary: Babs Johnson: "... Filth is my politics! Filth is my life!"
Comment: It took me a week after I received "Pink Flamingos" from Netflix to watch it. I was very well aware of its reputation and especially of the last scene and I was literally afraid to see it. At last, I made up my mind, took all my courage and watched the impossibly obscene, terribly disgusting, outrageous to a limit, shocking to a nausea, but at the same time extremely funny criminal cult comedy. The film that was made on the shoe-string budget by the self-proclaimed king of bad and nasty taste, native Baltimorian, Mr. John Waters, in 1972, still has not become outdated and would shock you like no other. If you only imagine something disgusting, mean and dirty, rest assured - Waters uses it in the film, his debut feature, and has a lot of fun with it. He does not care a bit how shocking the characters on the screen are and what moronic things they do to each but somehow, the film maintains light,playful, and comical feel about it. If someone had told me before I saw "Pink Flamingos" that the graphic scenes of exhibitionism and incest could be hysterically funny, I'd suggest they should seek a medical help but these scenes and many others ARE funny maybe because the first time writer/director and his friends performers did not take any of what was happening on screen seriously, did not try to make any sense, did not rebel or make a statement or try to prove something. All they wanted to do - to shock the viewers and to make them laugh. They achieved their goals. I would not urge everyone to seek out and to watch "Pink Flamingos" but its unique niche in cinema makes it one of its kind event. If you decide to watch it, do it on empty stomach - as much as I tried not to look at the screen during the infamous final scene, it is still hard to ...well, swallow.
2.5-3.0 /5

Summary: Sorry, not funny
Comment: I love Divine and John Waters, but this film went too far. I can't deal with rape, animal abuse, or coprophagous acts on the screen.

Summary: Poor Chicken
Comment: I love John Waters, but I REALLY didn't appreciate the chicken scene. Animal cruelty isn't art in my opinion.
