— In the late 1980s, director John Waters was sued by a family that had naively rented and watched more than half of PINK FLAMINGOS after enjoying his decidedly more benign HAIRSPRAY.

    Well I am a little bit surprised that Count Yorga didn’t make this list. Not even the comic relief scene where the hipster from the groovy van comically relieves himself outside of the van. The Parkwood movie theater exploded with laughter.
    CHEERS.
    Make sure you notify me when you do the 10 Best of THE BAD LIEUTENANT. (harvey’s, not nick’s)

    • Mike, the only thing I remember from COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE (and I remember this part vividly!) is the woman eating the rat. At least, I THINK that memory is from YORGA. I know it’s a movie we saw at the Parkwood.
