Favorite movies in our subculture

[Tesia]

What are your favorite classic movies, or movies that deal with the rockabilly/punk/pin-up/hot rod lifestyle? I have a pretty nice collection, but I'm always looking to add more.

I have so many favorites, but the movie that I recommend to everyone is The Greatest Show on Earth. The 1952 Cecil B. DeMille classic starring Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, and Charlton Heston among others. It takes place among a traveling Ringling Bros. - Barnum and Bailey Circus. If you love classic movies, romance, action, and the circus then you'll love this movie. My favorite scene has to be when Dorothy Lamour sings "Lovely Luawana Lady."

Words cannot describe a) how much I love that movie (erm, Johnny Depp all rockabilly'd up? Yes please! Wanda's wardrobe? Definitely! And the music, oh the music!) and b) how much I wanna be in Cry Baby's gang!

My favourite quote is "Oh Wanda, you sure is pretty in them tight clothes all painted up like trash!"

 

ps: You may have guessed I kinda love Wanda Woodward aha!

Me too! I’ve been obsessed with it since it came out and was 9. I made my poor mom watch it about 100 times and now my poor boyfriend is abused the same way.

The Wild One is a great film.

I love Cry-Baby...I love Johhny Depp...I love John Waters. I'm with you on the dreaming of being one of the Cry-Baby Girls Morgana Rose The movie's best quote "You wanna learn about America, Inga? In America, we like boys! We like hot boys! Boys with roaming hands and rushing fingers!"

Down With Love! It's cheesy, corny, over the top and fabulous! And the costumes and sets are to die for!
