10 movies that shock and awe

"Pink Flamingos" (1972)

Tagline: An exercise in poor taste.

Director: John Waters

The plot: Plus-sized Baltimore transvestite Divine fights for her title of "The Filthiest Person Alive." John Waters' phenomenal cult classic is more than an exercise, it's a celebration of bad taste.

The shock: Well, there’s a contortionist with a singing butt, nude snake dancing, “family” fellatio, snacking on poo…this stuff never gets old.
