+1. Also watched Men Behind The Sun during the same night. I wasn't too disgusted due to this being on /b/ and the typical range of crap that showed up there, but I imagine I must have had a thousand-yard stare going for some of the following morning.

Pink Flamingos is sort of a revered classic around these parts, so I saw it at a fairly young age. It's no wonder I have an iron stomach now.

23, picked up the double pack DVD release that was paired with Female Trouble back in '97. Sadly, it's more poignant today than when it released. Look at Geraldo Rivera, Jerry Springer, reality TV, politicians calling one another retarded or telling one another to eff off, MTV, and how acting in a base manner now results in celebrity status. Waters was ahead of his time with this one.

The day I turned 17. Even one of my friends say I had the "worst" taste in flicks.

I was 14 also. I had to watch it in the living room with the volume really low so my parents in the bedroom behind wouldn't hear.

13. I bought the 2-pack PF/FT dvd at a store and since they were going out of business, they didn't card me for it. Besides, I was big for my age and probably looked 16-ish. Anyhow, went home, watched it and my life has never been the same since.

Just saw it for the first time tonight. 27.

I feel like I'd have appreciated it most around age 17 or so. But it was still a lot of fun.

I was 16 years old and 23 days. It was the same day Princess Diana died so it was easy for me to figure that out.

I was 16. I also saw, at the time, everything from Female Trouble to Dirty Shame.
