Hard Days Night

The movie "A Hard Days Night" by Richard Lester, according to time magazine, is one of the best and most influential movies of all time, that inspired numerous spy films, The Monkees' television show and pop music videos.  I really don't know how it was THAT inspiring or great, other than the fact that it was about the Beatles and everyone went crazy for the Beatles. I mean, the Beatles weren't actors, so the acting wasn't near the best, the filmmaking was pretty good especially for the time period, but the reason I think it was so inspiring and so influential is because the Beatles music was some of the most inspiring and influential of all time, not because the film was great. I mean yeah, it was funny and witty at times, but it wasn't THAT great, though it was entertaining. I'm sure that if I grew up in the 60's I would've thought that the acting was amazing, the filmmaking was extraordinary, the humor was absolutely hilarious, and probably that the movie was the best I've ever seen. But the fact that I'm living in America in the 21st century probably negates a lot of what was fantastic about that movie.
