'A Hard Day's Night' is basically just a musical with less (and better) songs - see also 'Spinal Tap', 'School of Rock', 'The Muppets', 'The Producers' - in writing that short list, I realise that i've listed four of my favourite films ever!<br /><br />for a great film with great French 60s pop songs (and officially the best looking cast of all time), try <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_Women" rel="nofollow">8 Women</a>.<br /><br />for a punky bowie-esque rock musical about a post-op transexual from Germany, i heartily recommend <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedwig_and_the_Angry_Inch_%28film%29" rel="nofollow">Hedwig & The Angry Inch</a>.<br /><br />c'mon man, get on board and feel the joy!stevedominohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598042606017502408noreply@blogger.com
