Favorite John Waters Film

Easy... "Female Trouble". It's Waters' masterpiece and Divine's greatest tour-de-force. There's actually a great deal of thematic depth and true pathos, but all without undermining the trash/exploitation element.

Of his straight, mainstream films, I like "Hairspray". A good flick, but a pale reflection of the perverse glory of his earlier pictures.

Does'nt Divine have sex with him/herself in Female Trouble?

"Hairspray" to me is definately the best of all his films, with "Serial Mom" just behind it.

Female Trouble!!!!

I honestly can't pick a favorite. Polyester was the first Waters film I saw, so it holds a special place... The perversity of Desparate Living certainly appeals to me, though I wouldn't rank it was one of his best.

I have probably viewed Cecil Demented and Pecker more than any of his other works, and I love how they skewer the commercial film and art scenes respectively. Cecil has some of the best lines of his films:

"Power to the people who punish bad cinema."

"Keep watch over absent meaning."
--Maurice Blanchot

I like Desperate Living.

Probably because it was the first John Waters I saw.

Serial Mom would be a close second.

Hairspray never did much for me, but I do enjoy it.

John Waters is one of those guys whose films I enjoy, but you either get him or you don't.
