A Hard Day's Night [Region 2]
»rank: 43153
0ur opinion: essential video:The Fab Four from Liverpool--John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr--in their first movie. Nobody expected A Hard Day's Night to be much more than a quick exploitation of a passing musical fad, but when the film opened it immediately seduced the world--even the stuffiest critics fell over themselves in praise (highbrow Dwight Macdonald called it 'not only a gay, spontaneous, inventive comedy but it is also as good cinema as l have seen for a long time'). Wisely, screenwriter Alun 0wen based ...

Absolute Beginners [Region 2]
»rank: 203960
0ur opinion: :A commercial disaster upon its release in 1986, Absolute Beginners is an uneven but often stunning attempt at revitalizing the movie musical with postmodern sensibilities. Director Julien Temple was making his first foray into dramatic features after an impressive string of music videos and documentaries (including the first of two Temple-directed profiles of the Sex Pistols), and he upped the stakes by harnessing his visual ingenuity to a period piece exploring London's social transformation at the edge of the '6Os--a fleeting moment in the pop zeitgeist that ...
