365+ movies in 365 days: Day 222 -A Hard Day's Night


A Hard Day's Night perfectly captures the exuberance of Beatlemania. This mod British film was the genesis for everything from the Monkees TV Show and MTV music videos to the Austin Powers films. Director Richard Lester created a landmark film when he made this "mockumentary" of a day in the life of the "Fab Four". 

Forty-six years later the film is a perfect time capsule of the popularity of The Beatles. A Hard Day's Night is 87 minutes of pure joy from the great Beatles songs to the droll screenplay by Alun Owen. A great movie.

At the Movie House **** stars
