@reverend My first actual encounter with the John Waters movies was "Hairspray". Even today, it's my favorite Waters film.
I managed to see it only twice on its' original two-week run in Helsinki movie theaters, just before Christmas in 1988. As far as I can remember, it had received mediocre reviews in the Finnish newspapers, but I think I had seen a trailer somewhere, and had some idea of what to expect. I already knew most of the tunes that were featured on the soundtrack, and it turned out that I loved the movie as well.
I have a vague recollection that I had read an article about a previous Waters film, "Polyester", a few years earlier, so I may have been somewhat familiar with his reputation. But it was only later that I saw that film at the Finnish Film Archive, without the original Odorama effects, of course.
Although "Cry Baby" also had great music, it didn't quite have the same kind of impact on me. Perhaps I didn't find the storyline as compelling, or perhaps it was just the fact that Divine was no longer available to star in the film.

'When I go to suggest that there are no rules in his movies, Waters stops me dead. “No, there *are *rules,” he says. “The rules are: mind your own business and don’t judge people if you don’t know the whole story. The people who win always follow that. The people who lose are jealous and judgmental. But there are definitely rules.”'

Just a head’s up: There’s A LOT of sex, nudity and other stuff that people may find objectionable on a Wednesday late afternoon. If this isn’t for you I can recommend a documentary about the films of John Waters: “Divine Trash” (1998) (https://youtu.be/E3Xp-Xxj_YA?si=N1VAz97aqApI9wvy)

⚠️ FREAKS ONLY!!! ⚠️
On se retrouve DEMAIN pour regarder Pink Flamingos, ce film culte . Alors considéré tellement choquant qu'il a été banni à sa sortie en 1972. Il pourrait donc choquer les âmes les plus sensibles ou HOMOPHOBES.😱
Proposition de dernière minute pour les personnes qui n'ont pas envie de pride institutionnelle, se retrouver entre queers au calme et apprécier un film important . (et fun!) ❤️🔥

Love letter to John Waters for his 80th birthday by writer Kimberly Leszac, at Fango: https://www.fangoria.com/john-waters-80th-birthday
Really cool piece. Most people here know of my love of John's flicks. The first I saw was Pink Flamingos, and it's still my favorite film of all time (but not for the faint of heart 😂).
