Eight Days a Week

Just watched this on Hulu. Warp propelled me back into the early 60s, when the Beatles brought a sense of cheerful exuberance during a time of great social and political trauma.

I wish there was some element in today's dark political environment that could invoke that same feeling.

Anyway, highly recommended.

We saw it when it was first released. The whole theatre burst into singing the title song as the movie closed, with clapping perfectly timed. I will never forget how moving it was to feel so united with strangers.
Wonderful movie.
I could see it being screened the way Rocky Horror Picture Show has been.
