1. Ann-Margret gets very, very messy

Tommy (1975)

Why it blows: A 'tripped-out' movie designed to blow your mind that will have you cringing at scenes of Tina Turner (the Acid Queen) chewing scenery and Ann-Margret (who actualy got an Oscar nod here) rolling around in champagne, chocolate and baked beans. As a literal translation of Pete Townshend's wondrous 'rock opera,' Tommy - The Movie fails miserably, namely because the newly recorded versions of the songs pale in comparison to the originals. And as for Jack Nicholson attempting to sing...well, didn't we mention what a great actor he is?

Why you must see it: Because when you think about it, where else can you see Ann-Margret roll around in champagne, chocolate and baked beans?
