90. Cry Baby (1990)

After the success of Hairspray (1988), the once controversial director John Waters was given $8 million by Universal to make this kitschy musical, a punkier, wittier version of Grease set in 1954 Baltimore. Waters was, by now, considered a mainstream movie-maker but managed to remain true to his roots, giving roles to kooky actress Mink Stole, ex-porno star Traci Lords, Iggy Pop and Joe Dallesandro. The film also made a big screen heart-throb of a young Johnny Depp, fresh from the TV stardom of his role in 21 Jump Street.
