Ken Russell is responsible for some of the best films and television of the twentieth century.Some of these were stunningly original and at least one scene, in Women in Love, is a milestone in film history.Another scene, from The Devils, would have been equally groundbreaking had Warner Bros not censored it.His top ten films compare with any other director in the industry.Among the great works are The Devils, Women in Love, The Music Lovers, Mahler, Savage Messiah, and on television Elgar and Song of Summer. Works that have moments of sheer genius include Tommy, Altered States, Crimes of Passion, Aria, Salome´s Last Dance, the amateur film Amelia and the Angel and the opera Mefistofeles.Minor works, but still of interest, include French Dressing, Gothic, Whore,The Rainbow and on television Clouds of Glory, Lady Chatterley, A British Picture, Elgar 2 and the pop video Nikita.Cult films, loved by some and hated by others, include Lisztomania, The Lair of the White Worm and The Fall of the Louse of Usher.
