I am not a big fan of overly intentional "campy" type of films...ie ROCKY HORROR,Andy Warhol junk....but i love films that so called "chic" groups of "trendy" people tend to laff at...ie...PLAN 9.I think these faux "bad" movies are not "bad",just boring and dumb.

If you consider art anything that causes feelings in people, then "Pink Flamingos" qualifies.  I have encountered few films that were less disturbing or more distasteful.  Agonizing for me to watch, though I have inflicted it on a few other people just to prove a point.

"Faster p***ycat!  Kill!  Kill!" is a funny one.  Very easy to identify as an exploitation film, but I noted in my review (coming shortly) that I am used to having more exploitation in my exploitation movies (meaning both naked women and such).  I think it succeeds by being just a step away from normal, which makes the characters both familiar and bizarre.
