The reigning teen queen is none too pleased with the success of her rival especially when Tracy introduces racially mixed dancing...totally ace flick!!!

HELLZAPOPPIN' (1941)
CertificationU Our Rating
The staging of a musical, a romance, a bumbling private eye and a man who keeps wandering on with a pot plant for 'Mrs Jones'! is almost incidental to the speed, imagination and sheer craziness in a film that gives the Marx brothers a run for their money. Justifiably described as ‘Pythonesque', Hellzapoppin is a hugely influential comedy classic that can now be seen as way ahead of its time..

QUADROPHENIA (1979)
Certification18 Our Rating
Taken from Pete Townsend's rock "opera" of teenage frustration and rebellion set amongst the mods and rockers battling it out on Brighton beach in 1964. Brilliantly recreates the atmosphere of the time and has a great sound track. Speed fighting, speed, casual sex, speed, bike chains and speed.

TOMMY (1975)
Certification15 Our Rating
From the album by The Who comes the rock opera movie by Ken Russell. Although this film has some dated and pretentious moments it is material totaly suited to Ken's style. Packed with violent and surreal images this is perhaps his most powerful venture into this type of cinema.
