As a teen i loved John Waters films for the trash they were, then as i got older i began to see a bit of satire in them, these days, i still enjoy them but not nearly as much as i used to. He is still a high influence on me, but not all of his films hold up, atleast when watching em in a binge. I saw him last week live, little let down that the show was only 80 minutes and he barely covered film making but it was a good experience regardless.
Pink Flamingos
His opus. Trash? Yes. Brilliant? At times! Funny? Yes! Influential? You damn right!
Cecil B Demented
A cinephile & aspiring filmmakers essential viewing should be this film, it is a pure labor of love for the medium, and celebrates cinema.
Pecker
Besides Flamingos, probably the one i have seen the most. It used to be on Comedy Central, i honestly love this period of Waters career along with Cecil B Demented.
One of his most quotable and one of pure passion, his love of the macabre is seen throughout.
Polyester
His most innovative of his trash films!
Cry Baby
The one many assume is his cult film, when all really are. This one is a tad more accessible for, not the masses, but for nerds not quite weird enough for Flamingos.

Hairspray
The fiilm that set him on his course of being respected, sure broadway had a bit to do with it, but this is one of his best.

Pink Flamingos but not quite as shocking or good. Still enjoyable
Desperate Living
See above!
A Dirty Shame
Pretty a pure exorcise in fetish 101
Multiple Maniacs
A tad more refined Mondo Trasho
Mondo Trasho
His earliest feature, defineitely rough around the edges.
