Hairspray (1988)
From the singular lens of underground filmmaker John Waters comes the story of “pleasantly plump” teenager Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake), whose love of dancing lands her a spot on a local TV program where she uses her newfound celebrity to combat segregation in 1960s Baltimore. Costarring Divine in his last major film role as both Tracy’s supportive mother and the bigoted TV station owner, this hit comedy celebrates its 35th anniversary.
