A Hard Day's Night (1964)

In my opinion, the Beatles are one of the greatest bands to ever write a song, if not the greatest. And in this film, they show their true colors. Watching it over forty years after its release, A Hard Day’s Night seems to have made its impression on cinema and television. The film is filmed in the exact same style as my favorite television series Arrested Development, and I know that the creators used this film as inspiration. And while Arrested Development is hilarious and funny, this film is too. It incorporates everything the Beatles are for-music, having fun, and just pure awesomeness. In short, the film is a great time, even greater than great. The plot concerns Ringo Starr getting an idea from Paul’s Grandfather that he should see the world, so he does. And he decides to see the world two hours before a show. Hilarity ensues. The sight gags are spectacular, and I just loved this film. The soundtrack for the film is also great, one of my personal favorites of The Beatles’ albums. It was rated 388 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. So that should tell you something. But for the film, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Roger Ebert gave the film a four stars (out of four) rating, and he is nothing but right. It will captivate Beatles’ fans and those who are not. The 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes should prove that. Either way, as a Beatles fan or not, see this movie. You will love it.
9.5/10
