Tommy (1975) trailer

 50 years old film directed by Ken Russell (see below). I thought it was great. Cast was good maybe even great. Pinball element was fun.  Wiki

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON No Nights By Myself 1955

 I have this on 45. I have about 6 Sonny Boy 45s. This is a good one. 

The Lair of the White Worm trailer (1988)

 This horror comedy we enjoyed. I enjoyed all of Ken Russell's films they were usually fun. 

The Lair of the White Worm is a 1988 British horror comedy film loosely based on the 1911 Bram Stoker novel of the same name and drawing upon the English legend of the Lambton Worm. The film was written and directed by Ken Russell and stars Amanda Donohoe, Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi.

Sinners - Official Trailer - Warner Bros. UK & Ireland

 My son watched this last night. He says 'It's a vampire film set in Mississippi in 1932, it has a really strong musical element. One of the main characters is a blues musician and there's also some great country blues numbers;.
