Ken Russell feature films (* means I've seen):
	French Dressing (1963)
	Billion Dollar Brain (1967)--third (and least) in the Harry Palmer
		espionage series starring Michael Caine (*)
	Women in Love (1969)--based on D. H. Lawrence's book
	The Music Lovers (1971)--"biography" of Tchaikovsky
	The Devils (1971)--based on Huxley's DEVILS OF LOUDON (*)
	The Boy Friend (1971)--homage to Hollywood musicals
	Savage Messiah (1972)--story of the love affair between sculptor
		Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Sophie Brzeska
	Mahler (1974)--"biography" of Mahler (*)
	Tommy (1975)--rock opera
	Lisztomania (1975)--"biography" of Liszt
	Valentino (1977)--"biography" of Valentino
	Altered States (1979)--remake on MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS with
		psychedelic effects, but some stunning visual scenes (*)
	Crimes of Passion (1984)
Russell's "biographies" of famous composers and actors seem to concentrate on
bizarre aspects of their sexuality which may or may not be true.  He is one
*strange* director!
