Sad to say that of his films, I've only seen Tommy and The Devils.

Interesting only a few weeks ago he was featured heavily on a BBC4 programme on censorship that I watched.
RIP Ken Russell

I've got Altered States in DVD. You can borrow it if you like - when I get back to Cardiff.

Completely over the top - but it works if you consider it a parody of a Hammer film.
Tommy was basically two hours of rock videos, some better than others (Acid Queen being my favourite) - Neil Innes catches the tone of it perfectly in his send-up here......
