Hairspray
It's Baltimore, 1962, and a rebellious "pleasantly plump" teenager with the biggest bouffant on the block, Tracy (Ricki Lake) attempts to be one of the featured stars on a popular dance show and win the coveted "Miss Auto Show" crown as she fights against racial discrimination in this film written and directed by John Waters in an ode to the dance craze of the 60's. Featuring Divine in his/her last gender-bending role as Tracy's mother.
