The world has lost a great artist in Ken Russell, perhaps the most visually stylish and politically incendiary artist of the last quarter century or so. Many young people only know him from Big Brother, but he was (and, I suspect, will remain) the reining king of agi-pop cinema, one the crown jewels in British cinema (Jarman, Schlesinger, Richardson, a few others.) But no one compares to Ken when it comes to taking on the church, the state, the sensual nature of man. YOU ARE MISSED TERRIBLY!
You never cease pleasently suprising me Rick! I was wondering which video I wanted to start this play list with, because you have truly made so many that I love... Extreme Movies, there is the Life Lessons, THE SKETCHES OF FRANK GEHRY which a group of soulless aholes have blocked... but Tommy seems to fit perfectly. Thank You for everything that you have created, it truly does make the world a better place! Oh, and the King and I, granted not much work, but you shared it, lol! Thanks again Rick!
@FetaCheese222 Haha, no I was referring specifically to this montage, not the movie itself. The movie itself is coming to blu-ray in September and I have already seen the digital restoration at a screening last month that the Academy held...it's going to be awesome.
Frantic and frenetic and infectuous, and I dare say somewhat of a departure for you Rick. Forgive me for not loving it as much as some of your other works. Lacks both quality of picture and sound IMHO... and I'm sure that's simply a result of what you had to work with. :)
Still gave it 5 Stars, because tis only my opinion and I got enuf adoration for your abilities and genius, Rick, that I'm going to assume I'm just not evolved enuf to get your message here. :))
Gotcha... only reinforces I'm an idiot. Rick, you can do no wrong in my book, but at least now everyone knows I'm not being paid for the usual unadulterated, histrionic praise I give. :) Now my normal uber-positive reviews carry more weight. Lol..
Ken Russell, such a brilliant visionary. It's a shame his work was often so underrated and so misunderstood.

@thelorinator 1:05 splits - first 1/2 (preacher) is "Sally Simpson," then the Hell's Angels are used in "Sensation."

This is one of the best trailers I have seen! This should be used for Tommy from now on. Great job. One of my favourite films of all time.
