The 10 Greatest Depictions of White Trash in Cinema History

1. Joe Dirt----Has anything you ever would want in a white trash movie, sister lovin', crazy sideburns, mullets, auto trader, and daisy duke shorts. My favorite quote from the movie: "Well, I was born without the top of my skull and I guess a little bit of my brains was showin' and it was grossin' everybody out so my mom put this wig on me to cover it up and then the bones grew together and it got all infused and entwined. I mean I don't mean to get all scientific with you... "

2. National Lampoon's Vacation----I'm talking about the original one involving the Grizwold's trip to Wally World. Of course, the all of the white trash action centers around their visit to Cousin Eddie's house where we are introduced to hamburger helper as a stand alone meal. Poor Eddie has just been laid off from the asbestos factory and times are a little tough. My favorite quotation, "I'm going steady and I french kiss. . .Yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best at it."

3. Independence Day----Yes, a white trash-friendly summer blockbuster with a white trash hero. Randy Quaid once again brings the movie to the trailer park level with his portrayal of Russell Casse. He lives in a trailor, is a hard core alcoholic, and believes he was abducted by aliens--what more can you ask out of a redneck? "All right, you alien assholes! In the words of my generation: Up Yours! . . . Ha-ha-ha! Hello, boys! I'm back!"

4. Showgirls----Nomi, Nomi, Nomi--the queen of white trash cinema. Ms. Malone captures the trifecta of trash being uneducated, a whore, and dirt poor. The following are actual quotes from the former Saved by the Bell star in the movie: "I like having nice tits," "I'm not. I liked it when you came. I liked your eyes, " and "Mmm-hmmm. Long time ago. Doggy Chow. I used to love Doggy Chow. "

5. Porky's----Pee Wee and the boys from Angel Beach get revenge on Porky the redneck. This movie is full of hookers, racism, and a drunken -parent--oh my. My favorite white trash quotation: "You know, I really wish you hadn't said that, because you don't know how humiliating it is to have anyone even know you're my pa." Yes, all great white trash movies will include the word "pa" at least once!

6. Cabin Fever----Wow, that is what I call a white trash town!!! Those college students were lucky to pick that cabin and have fun with Deputy Winston. All the scenes at the general store were priceless. "Howdy, ma'am. Everything's Fine. Just go back inside, have yourself a big 40... just party" Pancakes anyone??

7. Varisity Blues----With characters named Billy Bob and Tweeder. . . enough said. "Now I want y'all to repeat after me: penis, penis, penis; vagina, vagina, vagina!"

8. Tremors----Until now, we have not included an important characteristic of being white trash-owning several firearms. Well, the Gummer's take care of this category for all the other movies on this list. "Broke into the wrong God damn rec room, didn't ya you bastard!"

9. Monster----This movie would have rated higher if someone other than Charlize Theron played the main character. The only thing Aileen was missing to be 100% pure white trash was a prominent middle name. Remember, "People always look down their noses at hookers."

10. The Client----The Sway family is just sad---dirt poor, single mother, one troublemaking son, and one psychologically damaged son. Mary Louise-Parker does a good job portraying the hapless mother. This quotation sums up the extent of their white trashness: "Yeah, well, I got rid of him. When me and my mom went into court to by our divorce our lawyer SUCKED as usual, so I went up there and told the judge myself about all the beatin's, about how he made us sleep in the street. And that's when my father became my ex-father, and now I got you, and you're a drunk and a bad lawyer too!"
