Ron Howard isn't the first person I would have pictured directing a documentary about the Beatles, but "The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years" is great in every way. It focuses on the period from 1963-1966, as the Fab Four traveled the globe. No surprise that they drew throngs of shrieking teenage girls everywhere that they went. We get input from Paul and Ringo, as well as notable people who attended their concerts (Sigourney Weaver and Whoopi Goldberg) and people who followed them around.
I was born long after the '60s, so I can't authentically picture what it was like to attend the Beatles' concerts, but this documentary gives one a feeling of being there. It was clear that everyone in the theater was having a great time. You're sure to love it.
