Still a brilliant, vibrant movie, this 1964 Richard Lester films captures the Beatles in all their early glory – literally. Scenes in which scores of extras, specifically young girls, go gaga over the Fab Four transform, once the Beatles are inserted into the frame, from scripted depictions of Beatlemania to the real thing. John, Paul, George, Ringo – they all have great screen presence, and know their way around punch lines and how to deliver dialogue. (George Harrison, when asked by an inquisitive reporter “What would you call this haircut?,” responds, “Arthur.”) Oh, and the music, and the proto music videos? Astoundingly fresh then. Deliriously fresh now.
