A crazy day in the life of John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
Originally released in 1964, A Hard Day's Night was remastered and rereleased in 2000. My current BFF, Tivo, alerted me that IFC (The Independant Film Channel) was showing it this past week.
I had never seen this movie before and now my life is complete. It's unlike anything I have ever seen and I can't wait to watch it again. The music is, of course, fantastic. The Beatles, their management, and "Paul's grandfather" are all hilarious. What really struck me, though, was how beautifully shot everything was. It's a pleasure just to look at A Hard Day's Night. Also, I could practically feel my coolness factor being raised as I watched it. Is there a cooler movie out there? I want to know.
Fast forward moment: Toughy. Ringo's deserter moments weren't particularly interesting, but I wouldn't skip it entirely. It's a classic. Watch the whole thing.
Grade: A
Rewind that! Moment: Here's the opening scene where everyone meets Paul's very clean grandfather.
P.S. If you have IFC, they're replaying it September 11th at 7pm and September 12th at 8am.

2 Wisecracks:
Ok, I LOVE this movie. I grew up watching this and the Beatles HELP. Which I hope will be your next musical choice!! We are always telling my dad that he is a clean old man. Help and A Hard Day's Night are very different, but I think they're both hilarious.
I love TiVo. He's my boyfriend when Dan's on call.
And I agree with Liz- HELP is pretty awesome as well. A little bit odd (there's a weird ruby thing), but totally worth it! I wish I could come watch movies with you!
