"Crimes of Passion"
For its gritty realism.
Makeup
"Lair of the White Worm"
Obviously.
Music
Instrumental performance
"The 1812 Overture" from "The Music Lovers"
Song
"The D'Ampton Worm" from "Lair of the White Worm" for its use in lieu of a flashback.
Vocal performance
"Pinball Wizard" from "Tommy"
Production design
"The Devils" by Derek Jarman
From the pristine white to the multi-colored, no one did it better than Jarman.
Writing
"Lair of the White Worm'
Another hard choice, but I don't know of any of Russell's films that are more tightly written. Rip out one scene and the whole script unravels. Even the scenes with Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) and Kevin (Chris Pitt) provide needed background information and a foreshadowing of what is to come.
