#8. Hairspray
Even if you weren't a fan of this all-singing, all-dancing, liberatingly silly musical, you should check out the two hours of making-of extras. You get background on the 1988 John Waters movie and the 2002 Broadway musical and the Baltimore dance party, The Buddy Deane Show, that inspired them both. (One teen, now a matron, says she needed a nun's permission to dance close with boys on TV. Another girl was reputed to have died after roaches infested her beehive hairdo; Buddy had to go on the air to refute this urban legend.) And there's plenty of rehearsal footage, with the stars and 150 dancers tapping and frugging till they drop. Busby Berkeley lives!
