Unforgettable yes, "Great"...not sure, but for low budget junk, made better by the low budget, it's hard to beat early films by John Waters. Pink Flamingos has been mentioned, but Mondo Trasho and Multiple Maniacs were all made with pass-the-hat budgets and local no-name "actors", in years before Waters become more famous, could hire Johnny Depp and had a larger budget. Some of the folks in these movies grew up in my childhood neighborhood in Baltimore, one still lives there. I know someone who subsequently, years later, rented the set (such as it was) of Desperate Living, and lived in the house, which is on a quiet lane in northern Baltimore County. There's no missing the fact that budgets were microscopic, but the notoriety of the movies far exceeded the cash outlay. Waters has become an iconic figure that everybody at least recognizes or likes or disapproves of or something....your eccentric gay grandpa. It helps that he does a great, witty interview, so he's been on TV talk shows many times.
