Monday Movie You May Have Never Heard Of: Tommy


"Tommy" a pretty popular rock opera cult classic from 1975 is the film adaptation of The Who's rock opera Tommy.

Here we're given the story of a young man Tommy (played by The Who's Roger Daltrey) who witnesses his birth father's murder at the hands of his birth mother. This leads him to create a mental mind block of the world. He becomes deaf, blind, and a mute. Later on, Tommy discovers the game of Pinball as his port to reality.

If you've heard the album Tommy, then you've heard all the songs and know how the story goes, however if you haven't seen the film, it's a must. The film puts it all together with an incredible art style and sung by many popular artists (Tina Turner, Eric Clapton and Elton John to name a few).

Lucky for you, there is no need to hunt for the film! The guys over at hulu have posted it up until the end of December! We cannot embed the film due to to rights restrictions, but you can view it over at hulu.
