A Hard Day's Night (1964)

A Hard Day's Night (1964) -- R. Lester

Of all the Beatles movies I've seen, this is the best, for its freshness.  Richard Lester lends a raw feel through a partly cinema verite approach (aided by B&W) and partly through jump cuts and other "new" editing techniques.  Sure, the plot is hackneyed but that doesn't get in the way of the youthful feel and the unfettered fab four. Their early songs are really from another time now.
