This month marks the 50th anniversary of the release of one of the most important and groundbreaking pop movies of all time.

Ken Russell's psychedelic screen adaptation of the Who’s rock opera Tommy ( 1975 ) Tommy was a typically wild ride that swung between the sublime and the ridiculous.

Pete Townshend earned an Academy Award nomination for the film's music, which most cinemas were totally unprepared.

The Monkey (in cinemas) is an absolute treat a blood-splattered satire that owes a debt to such offal-drenched horror comedies as The Evil Dead and An American Werewolf in London .

Toxic Town ( Netflix ) is alternately gripping, disturbing and enraging.

Strong performances from Jodie Whittaker , Aimee Lou Wood , Robert Carlyle and Rory Kinnear .
