- Wicker Man
- Derek Jarman
- Apocalypse Now!
- Tarsem, David Lynch, Jarman to name a few
- Terry Gilliam
- David Lynch
- Moulin Rouge is a bad Russell film with hip actors
- Alien Blood
- The Cell
- Herbert Ross - Seven per cent Solution. Ken Russell is a genius
- Quills
- A Hard Days Night influenced by French Dressing
- Velvet Goldmine
- I think he is inimitable
- Julie Taymor
- The Relic with the "native" sequences is a copy of Altered States
- far too few
- Mary Lambert and Julie Taymor´s Titus
- Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge)
- definitely "Velvet Goldmine"! Julie Taymor seems to be on a Russell
kick, especially "Titus". Maybe "Shadow of the Vampire" is a little Ken
Russell-ish
- Peter Greenaway
- he has influenced many young Australian filmmakers - he is one of my
favourites and always will be. His images still stick all these years later. Savage Messiah in particular
- anything by Derek Jarman
- most videos by singer composer Kate Bush
- none have ever mentioned his name in public so having said that all
or most have stolen from him
- Terry Gilliam, Derek Jarman, Peter Greenaway, Julie Taymor
- I see a bit of Ken Russell in Kenneth Branagh's films...
- Terry Gillian I think, but Russell is unique
- Friedkin, Jackson, Roth, anyone from the 70's
- not enough
- judging by The Passion of The Christ, Mel Gibson
- Quentin Tarantino
- many. Too many to name
- Moulin Rouge and Velvet Goldmine
- David Fincher (Panic Room, Se7en)
- Terry Gilliam
- Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet)
- Who knows how many directors have been influenced by Russell
- Oliver Stone tries hard, so does Baz Lurhman. They have no
taste compared to Ken. Alan Parker's Evita is a pale imitation Russell.
Hedwig, and Todd Haines' Velvet Goldmine are puny stabs at recreating
the party. I saw positive echoes of Ken in Yentl by the use of music
occupying head space, the natural settings (David Watkin) and the way music
travelled through time and plot. Streisand would have been a great subject
for Ken. He would have cut through the gauze that surrounds the icon and
they may have found a radical popular success together. He gets the most
from talented people
- Tim Burton
- Jim Sharman
- David Lynch for sure
- Tim Burton
- too numerous to go through; anyway, most would never admit to it
- Moulin Rouge
- Baz Luhrmann
- Pedro Almodovar
- Alan Parker
- david cronenberg-naked lunch, david lynch-lost highway, roman
polanski-ninth gate, tony richardson-hotel new hampshire, coppola-dracula
- Stanley Kubrick, Brian De Palma, Dario Argento and many more...
- no other directors are that nuts. Tell the BBC to give Ken some
money. He's a wasted talent
- Baz Leuhrmann, Alan Parker
- I Heart Huckabees
- John Waters?
- hard to say, really. They're pretty unique. Jonathan Miller's early
television pieces (Alice in Wonderland, Whistle and I'll Come to You) remind
me slightly of Russell
- Ken's movies to date show a distinct "u" curve pattern which pivots
around Listzomanina after which he revists his themes in reverse but
chronological order: eg: French Dressing Mindbender (havent seen either so
hard to speculate beach setting scene mentioned as a highlight of each movie
in previous writeups) ; Billion Dollar Brain / Whore ?
; Women in Love /The Rainbow [19th century relationships]
; The Music Lovers/Salome's Last Dance [gay artists]
; The Devils/The Lair of the White Worm [occult overkill]
; The Boy Friend/Aria (short) [fantasy during a disaster]
; Savage Messiah/Gothic [creative impulse]
Mahler/Crimes of Passion [sexual difficulties] ;
Tommy /Altered States [conceptual breakthrough] ; Lisztomania/Valentino [problems of fame] ; This
pattern suggests the next films in the sequence will be a series of quality
short films counterpointing the monitor series and themes [Goosewood? NO! No!
No!]
- John Milius mentioned Ken in an interview about Apocolypse Now
- all of em in some way or another. They just don't realize it
- no one comes close
- Pink Floyd The Wall definitely inspired by Tommy. It's also
safe to say a certain extent David Lynch was inspired by Ken
- watched the wonderful Johnny Depp film, "The Libertine", last night.
Are you SURE Ken Russell didn't do at least the last segment of it?
- horror movies: "Inferno" by Argento, "Halloween" by Carpenter etc
- George Lucas, Tim Burton
- Alucarda, some influence from the movie The Devils
- David Lynch
- Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick)
- Todd Haynes' Velvet Goldmine
- Lynch, Cronenberg, Argento, Baz Luhrmann
- Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino, Sean Penn
- Lady GaGa
- Alan Ball
- "True Blood" TV series
- it seems Matthew Barney ???
- the British opera director John Dew
- Pierre Clémenti and Visa de censure no. X
(Altered States)
- The Plumed Serpent
- I always like to think that Paul Verhoeven has
a lot of things similar with Russell, especially the clashing of religion
and violence with eroticism, and the mixture between elements of low culture
and high culture.
- David Lynch: I never thought I'd say this, but
I prefer Ken Russell. They are similar but different. I've always said
that Ken Russell could make the craziest idea seem normal and Lynch could
make the most normal scene be weird and unsettling (Lord Snoopy's G.P.E.H.

- Black Swan
- Guillermo del Toro
- Tarsem Singh
- Alfonso Cuarón
- Hal Ashby
