Can’t Look Away · Oct 16, 2026 · 40m

Ken Russell’s Tommy is a gloriously bonkers rock opera packed with outrageous performances, bizarre imagery and unforgettable music. From Tina Turner’s Acid Queen to Ann-Margret’s baked-beans-and-chocolate meltdown, it’s decadent, excessive 1970s cinema at its absolute wildest. And as a gateway into The Who, it’s hard to beat.
