- 'The Devils' (1971) Starring: Oliver Reed, Vanessa Redgrave, Dudley Sutton. Despite being called The Devils, this earth-shattering 1971 film is more of a drama than it is a horror movie, though it’s grisly and disturbing enough in parts to qualify, at least in part, as a work of horror.
- 'Altered States' (1980) Starring: William Hurt, Blair Brown, Bob Balaban. With Altered States, Ken Russell tried his hand at science fiction, and the results represent what might well be one of the filmmaker’s most accessible and popular movies.
- 'Women in Love' (1969) Starring: Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson. Standing as what’s likely Ken Russell’s best movie released in the 1960s, Women in Love is also up there with the filmmaker’s best-known works regardless of the decade released.
- 'The Boy Friend' (1971) Starring: Twiggy, Christopher Gable, Max Adrian. Being a little less bizarre than Tommy, but still feeling quite strange in places, The Boy Friend is another intriguing musical film directed by Ken Russell, and probably the director's best within the genre.
