Best DVD for new fan?
-
I have a friend who doesn't know much of anything about the Beatles (moved to the U.S. From India in his late 20s) but is interested to learn. How would you start him out? I have the full anthology DVDs but perhaps that's better suited for at least someone who knows the basics?
-
A Hard Day's Night.
-
I was thinking more documentRy, but that might be fun
-
Start with HELP! It's wacky, good fun, great songs...
-
The Compleat Beatles is a good doco. Not overly long or too full of details.
-
I used to have compleat Beatles on VHS, don't know that I can dig it up on DVD.

Mmm. Good point. It's an oldie. I had vhs too.

Go with HELP! That's what I'd do.

Start with AHDN and Help, then The Beatles Anthology. He'll love it!

Yeah, after some preliminary DVDs...he can find so much on youtube. It's really unbelievable.

"Complete Beatles" is what sold me. From the time I saw it in 1987 I was hooked. The only downer is none of the Beatles are interviewed.

I'd start with The Magical Mystery Tour movie. The Beatles at their peak in 1967 - both musically & creatively.

A Hard Days Night. Probably the best rock n' roll movie ever made (in my opinion)
-
Depends on what you are looking for. Documentary wise - The Beatles Anthology hand down. (The Compleat Beatles would be a good intro for the Anthology) Movie wise: AHDN or Help! Interesting but not necessarily essential: MMT Understanding how the band was near the end: Let it Be
-
Head The Monkees
