The Turnblads’ (Divine, Jerry Stiller) plus-size daughter (Ricki Lake) rocks a segregated TV dance show in 1960s Baltimore. Funny as heck and a good message to boot (!), this is the original 1988 film that includes Sonny Bono and Debra Harry as parents of a rival young girl, plus Ric Ocasek and Pia Zadora as pot-smoking beatniks.
“Not only Waters’s best movie, but a crossover gesture that expands his appeal without compromising his vision one iota” – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Avenue NE, in the Nob Hill area.
