A Hard Day's Night (1964) & Help! (1965)
The Beatles movies were great. It's slightly because I love anything to do with the Beatles, but also because they were great films. Both films were very different films.
"A Hard Day's Night" is like a comedic "day in the life" kind of movie, I feel like it was very promotional. It was mainly about their lives with the new fame, how they dealt with all the craziness going on around them, and their music of course. It is kind of like a rock-n-roll, "High School Musical". The music really empowered the movie, I personally don't think it would have been as good with out the music.It was about them before they were cultural icons, because I think their career really took off after these films. This film is stands out of its time, rock , and even its genre. I think that this film was a very influential one, there is no way that is isn't, it's just so good.
Unlike "A Hard Day's Night", "Help!" is for more entertainment purposes rather that promotional. "Help!" is a silly movie. There is nothing funnier than watching a bunch of crazy, religion obsessed, money crazed people chase the Beatles around for a ring. The humor in this film is based on sarcasm, although they act out funny scenes. The songs in the film are great, and they are presented in an interesting way. I don't think they go well with the story, but they work visually. I loved both of these films very much, I wouldn't change a thing about either one of them. They are great the way they are.
