The Beatles Movie
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my husband. He saw this at the movies when he was a kid and hadnt seen it since. He's been a fan of The Beatles since he first saw them on Ed Sullivan. Watching this movie made him realize how innocent funny was backnin the 60s compared to today. It isnt very funny but Id recommed it for Beatles collectors.

Several Days In The Life
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This movie was made to show the beginnings of the phenomenon known as Beatlemania. Still relevant and funny when viewed through the prism of over fifty years ago. The film has been credited as being very influential for its technical details. For those of a certain age, tell your children and grandchildren to forget about it being in black and white and enjoy learning a little about how you grew up. Phil Collins has claimed to be in the audience for some of the songs.

A must watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being young or old, this movie is great for any Beatles fan. A fast moving movie with many comedy bits and musical parts, this movie helped to show the Beatle mania of the early 1960s

The Beatles at their best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a Beatles fan since I was a kid in the late 60's and I have been a fan of Criterion's products going back to the Laser disc era so my review is probably not unbiased. With that in mind, I have been wanting to get this bluray since it came out and now that I have it I am not disappointed. Great movie, great music, great transfer and great bonuses.

It's The Beatles, enough said...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's no question that this is one of the best musical comedies of all time. The natural comedic timing between all four Beatles is effortless and genius. You can see the innocent, playful connection that occurred prior to The Beatles parting ways. This Criterion release is a great nod to this classic and it needs to be in your collection.
