“The Devils” was one of the most disturbing movies I ever saw.

“Alex Verney-Elliott”
The name alone says a lot.

"Savage Messiah," "The Devils (of Loudon)," "Women in Love," and "The Lair of the White Worm" are all worth watching, IMO.
RIP, Ken, you were sure one-of-a-kind.

My favorite works of Russell's were a pair of TV movies made for British TV on the Lake poets Wordsworth and Coleridge called Clouds of Glory. The first part - William and Dorothy starred David Warner as Wordsworth and Felicity Kendall as his sister Dorothy. The second - Rime of the Ancient Mariner featured David Hemmings as Coleridge and included lurid hallucinatory sequences. I liked the Wordsworth half the best because it was shot in the lake country and David Warner read Wordsworth's verses beautifully. A pity they are not available on any home video format.

Loved Tommy.
Tried to watch as a teenager....thought it was boring.
Again as an adult....loved it, gave me chills.
Rest in peace Ken Russell, and thank you...
