A Hard Day's Night is one of my favorite movies ever. Besides being quite funny, it was in many ways of how each of The Beatles were in real life. The movie shows the band having fun, trying to come in terms with their sudden success and its consequences. Its a sort of documentary, very well done, very funny, and of course, with excellent songs.

If you're going into this movie expecting Brando-Like acting, Mamet-Like writing, or Speilberg-Like directing, you're fooling yourself. This movie is all about the music, which is timeless. From the opening scene, that has been parodied numerous times, all the way thought until that helicopter door shuts, this is a very good movie. The acting is good, the writing is decent, and the directing is very good. But, once again this movie is all about the music. 10/10. This is a must see, especially if you're a Beatles fan, but if you are a Beatles fan, you've probably already seen it.

  It's 85 minutes of screen time that represents one crystallized moment not in the Beatles' career per se but in the parallel career they forged inside all of us, the one that will last beyond any breakup, retirement or death.

  They're like gods at play, paragons of pure delight, as they mock and feign their way through a universe of mere mortals. To see the movie again is to realize that they were never entirely of this earth and that they never will be.
