PETULIA and THE MUSIC LOVERS (although the second only if you're a Ken Russell fan like me).
I'm not much of a Russell fan, but I'll check them out.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well, PETULIA is Richard Lester, and it's a little dated, but it's got some very effective moments, plus Julie Christie (George C. Scott ain't bad either).
I seriously wouldn't recommend MUSIC LOVERS unless you were a Russell fan (and he's at his most excessive here) or really like Glenda Jackson.

I hate Music Lovers with the power of thousand supernovas, but it's been a while since I've seen it. I suspect I'd laugh instead of groan at the absurdities if I could make myself watch it again. It'd be a good MST3 material, at least.
Oh! And Russell did that movie about Liszt that had the Giant Dancing Penises on Stage. I probably won't mind watching that again.

Russell also did that movie about the vacation that spawned Frankenstein, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gothic?

Yeah, that's it. Never saw it, but I'm familiar with the story behind it (mostly from King's Danse Macabre).

The memory of that movie makes my skin crawl.

Did the movie have the bit about Shelley getting high on some hallucinogenic and then looking over at Mary and seeing eyeballs in place of her nipples? Reading about that freaked me out completely (especially since I was only 12 when I read it).

I had to watch that moviw (for no apparent reason, I might add) during my Survey of British Literature class. it took several classes to get through. And was very odd.

Yes.
