A Hard Day's Night: If you haven't seen this one, you're obviously not at all interested in the Beatles. Directed by the great Richard Lester with an Oscarnominated screenplay by Alun Owen, it's the best of their feature films, humorously and insightfully capturing the magic of the band at the height of Beatlemania. It was often shown on TV prior to Lennon's death, but was theatrically re-released last summer with an additional song ("I'll Cry Instead") over a montage of photos. It's only a matter of time before you'll be able to pick it up at your nearest video store.
A rock film classic.
