H is for A Hard Day's Night/Help!

I don’t know how anyone could even begin to discuss the Beatles without discussing the movies A Hard Day’s Night (1964) and Help! (1965).  In my opinion those movies and albums are what really began to set them apart from everyone else.  Prior to A Hard Day’s Night (1964), my personal favorite, pop and rock bands did not make movies or videos.  It paved the way for The Monkees TV show and so much more.  The movies hold up even today and are just a whole lot of fun.  A Hard Day’s Night (1964) in particular, meant to offer a true look into a day in the life of the band.  Can you imagine a world without music videos?
