Director Ken Russell, at the peak of his eccentric excess in the mid-1970s, was the perfect choice to bring the Who’s rock opera to the screen. The Who’s own Roger Daltrey stars as Tommy, the “deaf, dumb and blind kid,” who, after witnessing his father’s murder as a child, retreats into his own interior world. Desperate for a cure, his mother (Ann-Margret) and stepfather (Oliver Reed) take him to, in turn, the Seeker (Eric Clapton), the Acid Queen (Tina Turner) and an experimental doctor, the Specialist (Jack Nicholson). But it is only when Tommy competes against and bests the Pinball Wizard (Elton John) that he makes progress — so much so, in fact, that he is declared a messiah and becomes the leader of a religious sect. (UK, 1975, 111 mins, PG, English | Dir. Ken Russell)
