Released 30 years ago via a distributor that went under very quickly Serial Mom seems to be kind of both forgotten and a cult classic. It's one of John Waters lesser known but funnier films. It's probably Kathleen Turner's funniest film that she is a non-animated lead in and yet it hardly gets talked about. It's also both Matthew Lillard's first film as well as a departure for the kind of role that Sam Watterson was in.

John Waters' gleeful story of a suburban housewife who leads a prim and proper life on the surface, but has a malevolent side. Others catch on to the violence she commits pretty quickly, making the serial murders campy fun, but rather episodic.

I don't want to give away too much but outside of dated hairstyles and clothes the satire in this film felt as modern as something that could be released now.

Anyone else familiar with this movie? If not what comedic movie do you love that seems to be forgotten by time or is obscure to most film lovers?
