The Who Films:
1970 Listening to You: The Who at the Isle of Wight Festival
Concert film of The Who's performance at the third Isle of Wight Festival. It was filmed in 1970, but not released until its direct-to-video release in 1996.
1975 Tommy
Ken Russell's camp treatment of the Rock opera, with Oliver Reed, Ann-Margret, Jack Nicholson, and an all-star cast of Rock musicians including The Who.
1979 The Kids Are Alright
A Jeff Stein documentary about The Who, including live performances, TV appearances, and interviews from all phases of their career up to that point, including their US debut on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
Other film appearances:
1967 Monterey Pop
The Who's stage-wide destruction competes with Jimi Hendrix's lighter fluid.
1968 The Rolling Stones' Rock And Roll Circus
Includes a for-the-occasion performance of "A Quick One While He's Away". Filmed in 1968, but not released until its direct-to-video release in 1996. Lore among Who fans holds that it was this performance that kept the film from being released, because The Who so upstaged the Rolling Stones' performance with it.
1969 Woodstock
The movie about the famous music festival. Includes excerpts from The Who's performance of Tommy.
