1.The Boyfriend [1971] starring: Twiggy, Christopher Gable, Max Adrian, Barbara Windsor, Glenda Jackson directed by: Ken Russell
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £13.99
Where is the DVD release of this classic piece of Ken Russell camp ? It showed what a good actress Twiggy could be (where is the DVD of Madame Sousatzka ????) and is enormously indulgent and good fun. Please remaster the original director's cut and release it on DVD. Given the ridiculously high prices being asked for old ex-rental VHS tapes of this film, a DVD release sounds like it would be a profitable exercise.

2.The Slipper And The Rose [1976] starring: Richard Chamberlain, Gemma Craven, Annette Crosbie, Edith Evans, Michael Hordern directed by: Bryan Forbes February 03, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.09
This is a truly enchanting musical version of the Cinderella story. I first watched this as a young girl and I've recently watched the DVD a number of times. I was amazed that even though over 10 years have passed I remembered most of the story, including song lyrics and dialogue...obviously it made a big impression on me the first time around! Watching the film as an adult is a real treat. There is a lavish quality to every aspect - from the beautiful costumes to the stunning landscape and gauzy cinematography. It makes me laugh and it makes me cry and, by the end, I'm cheering! The Slipper and The Rose is the kind of film that appeals to adults as well as children. There are many funny jokes and clever songs that are great to ... Read More:

3.The Music Lovers [1970] starring: Richard Chamberlain, Glenda Jackson, Max Adrian, Christopher Gable, Kenneth Colley directed by: Ken Russell August 13, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £24.99
This film has so much going for it that you should stop and think twice before dismissing my claim. First of all it is a genuine Tragedy in the full Aristotelian sense. Secondly it is a true life Tragedy. Thirdly it the Tragedy of a major musical genius who is also a popular romantic artist. Fourthly he is treated by Russell as the representative Romantic Artist who tries but fails to live up to his ideals. This has always been Russell's main theme as an filmaker. Fifthly the expressionistic visual style of the film is an attempt to create a visual equivalent of romantic music as an art form. In this it is nothing less than an experimental arthouse film - and a successful experiment too.

4.The Lair Of The White Worm [1988] starring: Amanda Donohoe, Hugh Grant, Catherine Oxenberg, Peter Capaldi, Sammi Davis directed by: Ken Russell April 24, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £9.50
It's hard to imagine in these days of stomach-turning gore and mega-violence, just how contentious and controversial Ken Russell films were, back in the day. He's stated in interviews that all his films are comedies, and you can take him at his word on that, but critics just don't get it. He hit one with a rolled up newspaper on a tv show, which prompted the self-same critic (and renowned Russell-basher) to famously proclaim in print "Get me an elephant gun, this man must be stopped!" It's easy to see why these people detest Russell. He's been goading them for decades. Taking money from the ever-so-worthy British film industry and making mad tragi-comic films about VERY serious and highbrow composers and artists, taking drugs, getting ... Read More:

5.Women in Love [1969] starring: Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson, Jennie Linden, Eleanor Bron directed by: Ken Russell June 21, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.00
This is a nice film, satisfying in so many ways, even if the sad conclusion is anything but, but that's the nature of romantic tragedy. This is Oliver Reed's finest film performance (apart from maybe Gladiator), and must be Ken Russell's best movie bar none. Good authentic adaption of DHL, a writer whose works often arouse strong emotions one way or another. In fact human emotion is often the main focus of all his works, rather than the more overt themes of class, or raw passion. This film has a lovely period feel to it, is very intimate in its portrayal of the relationships between people with different personalities and feelings, and it distills the mood or essence of DHL perfectly. If you're prepared for a more involving, slower paced sort of romantic ... Read More:

6.A Woman Of Substance [1985] starring: Jenny Seagrove, Barry Bostwick, Deborah Kerr, Dominic Guard, Gayle Hunnicutt directed by: Don Sharp June 02, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.81
Very first time I saw this unforgetable movie in Kuwait in 1996.it was recorded on VHS tapes. Believe me I saw this movie more than 100 times and every time I found it more informative,more practical,more live commentary of an innocent girl's life. It shows to us how the circumstances push us towards the fate. Emma the heroin,acts at her best and put you in tears when in troubles and sorrows.Her mission to get revenge from Adwin( her flirt lover) is a real reaction of a common woman. I advised and provided this great movie to most of my female friends and cousins to watch and get moral support from it when they fall in troubles like Emma. Now when my two daughters are quite grown up and need guidence. Unfortunately this movie is very hard to find in Pakistan. ... Read More:

7.The Rainbow [1989] starring: Sammi Davis, Paul McGann, Amanda Donohoe, Christopher Gable, David Hemmings directed by: Ken Russell July 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.50
The Rainbow is a really great story of a young girl called Ursula who has a brief affair first with her school teacher and then a passionate affair with anton, a young soldier, who she becomes engaged to. Ursula finds that the prospect of being married to anton to restricting and she sets out on her own to experience life. Paul Mcgann is great in this movie, some of his best work, he's perfect as the handsome young soldier. This movie is definetly worth a watch.
