John Samuel Waters, Jr. (born April 22, 1946) is an American film director, screenwriter, author, actor, stand-up comedian, journalist, visual artist, and art collector, who rose to fame in the early 1970s for his transgressive cult films. Waters's 1970s and early '80s films feature his regular troupe of actors known as the Dreamlanders—among them Divine, Mink Stole, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, and Edith Massey. Starting with Desperate Living (1977), Waters began casting real-life convicted criminals (Liz Renay, Patty Hearst) and controversial people (Traci Lords, a former pornographic actress).
Waters dabbled in mainstream filmmaking with Hairspray (1988), which introduced Ricki Lake and earned a modest gross of $8 million in the US. In 2002, Hairspray was adapted to a long-running Broadway musical, which itself was adapted to a hit musical film that earned more than $200 million worldwide. After the crossover success of the original film version of Hairspray, Waters' films began featuring familiar actors and celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Edward Furlong, Melanie Griffith, Chris Isaak, Johnny Knoxville, Martha Plimpton, Christina Ricci, Lili Taylor, Kathleen Turner, and Tracey Ullman.

Plot: Three friends - a reporter, an oil analyst and a financial executive - reunite after ten years and accidentally uncover one of the key, hidden reasons for what motivated the war in Iraq. The trio struggles to present evidence to major media that America invaded Iraq to force oil sales from the Euro back to the Dollar to preserve US global monetary supremacy. Against incredible odds, the team must face their pasts, find willing sources to corroborate the story, and survive the conspirators as they push to bring the truth to light.

Plot: This film, inspired by actual events, tells the story of the defense of the island of Malta during WWII. Malta, part of the British Commonwealth, is actually a small group of islands in the Mediterranean Sea, about half way between Sicily and the northern coast of Africa. On June 12, 1940, the day after Italy declared war on Britain, the Italians began a prolonged campaign of aerial bombardments against Malta. This film highlights the early phase of that conflict as it follows the lives of three RAF pilots: George Burges, John Waters and Timber Woods. These pilots flew Gloster Sea Gladiator biplanes in the heroic defense of the island against more modern Italian fighters and bombers. In all, about six Gladiators were involved in the fighting--some were cannibalized for parts--but only three could ever be scrambled for a single sortie. The legend that arose from that conflict immortalized three of the Gladiators, nicknamed Faith, Hope and Charity.

Plot: This film covers the latter years of Canada's naval contribution to World War II. In particular, this film focuses on the troubles of the atlantic transportation route that was one of the most hazardous in the war. Of that route, no part was more dangerous than the region that naval command refused to have patrolled by long range aircraft, nicknamed the Black Pit. Thanks to this act of incompetence, Canadian naval forces were besieged by U-Boats while in this large area of the Atlantic until events force a needed change.

Plot: This film covers the Canadian contribution to the war effort at sea during World War II. In the early days, Canada plays a vital role to supply Britain with sea deliveries. However, the job is made all the more difficult with incompetent command, inadequate equipment and training and the fact that the German U-Boats are boldly striking with impunity, even in the St. Lawrence seaway itself!

Part of a nine-part series examining the impact on society of controversial films includes remarks by critics, actors, directors, producers and scholars, who comment on the content and context of films. Pink Flamingos is a 1972 American transgressive comedy film directed by John Waters. When the film was initially released, it caused a huge degree of controversy and thus became one of the most notorious cult films ever made. It made an underground star of the flamboyant female impersonator, Divine. The film also stars David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Danny Mills, Cookie Mueller, and Edith Massey. Produced on a budget of only $10,000, it was mostly shot on weekends in Phoenix, a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland. After screenings at universities across the U.S. including Harvard ...

http://bigthink.com John Waters knew he was gay the moment he saw Elvis Presley, but people rarely asked him about his sexuality because they feared it was something "worse" than homosexuality. "They were afraid to hear the answer," he says. Question: How did you come out?John Waters: Coming out! It's just so square to me. I mean, I always was gay. I knew I was gay the moment I saw Elvis Presley, when I was probably about 10 years old. I thought, what the hell is that? But I know it's important to some people, but I just... no one, I never just came out and made it a ceremony or an announcement. Like when people say, "Are you a bottom or a top?" What is it, a political party? It depends. It's amazing to me the seriousness with these questions we're asked about. To me, mos...

The life and times of Baltimore film maker and midnight movie pioneer, John Waters. Intercut with a 1972 interview of Waters are clips from his first films and recent interviews with his parents, his brother, Divine's mom, actors and crew, other directors, film critics, a film curator, psychologists, and Maryland's last censor, who shudders at the memory of Waters's pictures. Also included is footage of Waters making his early movies, culminating in an up-close and in-depth look at Pink Flamingos: the script, the set, the filming conditions, its editing, its distribution, and its impact. In sweet ways, this documentary is also a celebration of Divine (1945-1988).

Join the waves in the ocean
Or let my soul fade away in the dark
'Cause I've gone on astray
And all my flowers turned to dandelions
Now I'm falling on my knees
And tumblin' down
I'm tumblin'
I'm tumblin'
I'm tumblin'
I'm tumblin' down, oh down, oh down, oh down
I'm tumblin' down
I'm tumblin'
I'm tumblin'
I'm tumblin'
I'm tumblin' down, oh down, oh down, oh down
It's like my early morning sunset
And my night's rise
Day by day, night by night
I'm full of lies, I'm full of cries
Ain't dead and gone, but I'm paralyzed
From the waist up hard just to take a breath
And from the waist down hardly can take a step
Thrown to the left, far from the best
Questions till I fall
Should I
Join the waves in the ocean
Or let my soul fade away in the dark
'Cause I've gone on astray
And all my flowers turned to dandelions
Now I'm falling on my knees
And tumblin' down
I'm tumblin'

I'm tumblin' down
I'm tumblin'
I'm tumblin'

I'm tumblin' down, oh down, oh down, oh down
It's like my early morning sun's gone
And my night's stay
Day by night, night by day
It's hello predators, I'm feeling like a prey
I need security to box me up in a cage
Let it fade away, I just can't get shot
And to keep the pain away, I just take a shot
Falling from the top, havin' sudden thought
Questions till I fall, I
Join the waves in the ocean
Or let my soul fade away in the dark
'Cause I've gone on astray
And all my flowers turned to dandelions
Now I'm falling on my knees
And tumblin' down
I'm tumblin'
I'm tumblin'
