(an adaptation of Huxsley's The Devils of Loudon which casts Oliver Reed as the sexy priest and Vanessa Redgrave as the "possessed" Mother Superior--it was banned almost everywhere, forever losing two scenes that put Haxan to shame [the "rape of Christ" sequence, in which nuns sexually abuse a giant crucifix, and the coda in which Redgrave uses one of Reed's bones as a dildo])

Derek Jarman did the production design for that one! Never mind, I have to see it. Also IMDb informs me of a number of actors I like in it: Max Adrian, Murray Melvin, John Woodvine, Kenneth Colley . . . Wait, its Cardinal Richelieu is the same Christopher Logue who wrote War Music? Have you got this on DVD? Can I steal it?

and Gothic, the weirdest version of the Byron/Shelley/Mary Shelley/Clair Claremont/Doctor Polidori holiday menage you'll ever see.

Gabriel Byrne as Byron, whose Polidori is Timothy Spall? Oh, twist my arm.

On good days I look at his fuckery and say: "Oh, YOU", and want to pinch his little cheeks.
