A Hard Days Night (1964)

I made an exception to my “Nothing Before 1970” rule because this film received a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. I’m finding more and more that their scores are meaningless. A Hard Days Night is a plotless hodgepodge of obnoxious banter and annoying characters. The only respite comes from periodic Beatles songs, which are essentially 1960’s MTV music videos. Unfortunately, that’s not enough to carry an entire film. You’d do better to queue up their music on your iPod and leave this relic to the ages.

Rating: F+
