In a remote corner of England's Peak District, a mysterious skull is unearthed. But even weirder is that Lady Sylvia (Amanda Donohoe) steals the skull for use in worshipping -- very erotically -- her pagan god, The White Worm, who hungers for the taste of virginal flesh. Adapted from the novel by Bram Stoker and starring Hugh Grant and Catherine Oxenberg. Directed with considerable comic panache by Ken Russell.

Ken Russell's adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's "The Rainbow" sees impulsive young Ursula coming of age in pastoral England around the time of the Boer War. At school, she is introduced to lovemaking by a bisexual physical education instructress. While experiencing disillusionment in her first career attempt, teaching, she has an affair with a young Army officer who wants to marry her. Unable to accept a future of domesticity, she breaks it off with him and eventually leaves home in search of her destiny.

Creative passion, sexual desire and astounding excess dominate director Ken Russell's controversial biopic, which follows flamboyant composer Tchaikovsky (Richard Chamberlain) through his marriage to nymphomaniac Nina (Glenda Jackson) and his love affair with a count (Christopher Gable). The score features the London Symphony Orchestra under conductor André Previn performing several of Tchaikovsky's works.
