Hairspray + Pink Flamingos
Hairspray
When Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake), an overweight teen, auditions for a spot on a popular teen dance show, she beats out the spiteful Amber von Tussle (Colleen Fitzpatrick), winning over Amber's boyfriend (Michael St. Gerard) in the process. After meeting some black students at her school, Tracy begins to push for more racial integration on the dance show. This gets her into trouble on many sides, especially with Amber's pushy parents (Sonny Bono, Deborah Harry).
"Hairspray shows that Baltimore is the natural home of twisted legends and gothic subversives: Edgar Allan Poe, Dr Hannibal Lecter … and John Waters." - Guardian
Pink Flamingos
Notorious Baltimore criminal and underground figure Divine goes up against a sleazy married couple (David Lochary, Mink Stole) who make a passionate attempt to humiliate her and seize her tabloid-given title as "The Filthiest Person Alive".
"Uproarious and appalling, Pink Flamingos is transgressive camp that proves as entertaining as it does shocking." - Rotten Tomatoes
