Lisztomania
This freewheeling fantasia on the life of pianist Franz Liszt ranks among director Ken Russell's most outrageous efforts. Roger Daltrey, lead singer for The Who, is awkward yet likeable as the flamboyant piano performer with a bevy of fetching mistresses and groupies, while Paul Nicholas is completely outlandish as the scheming opera composer Richard Wagner. Complete with eye popping visuals, electrifying score (by Rick Wakeman), intense costumes and Ringo Starr playing the Pope.
