Right after their Ed Sullivan show appearance, the Beatles took their revolutionary talent to the big screen. As the lads play cheeky comic versions of themselves, the movie captured the astonishing moment when they officially became the singular, irreverent idols of their generation. This deliriously entertaining romp, directed with raucous, anything-goes verve and featuring a slew of iconic pop anthems, changed the concept of musicals and music videos forever. D: Richard Lester, UK, 1964, 87m
