The Top 25 Music DVDs of All Time

3. A Hard Day's Night (Miramax)

Named after a Ringo Starr quip, the Beatles' 1964 film debut is a delicious, featherweight comedy with practically no plot at all -- director Richard Lester basically just let John, Paul, George and Ringo be charismatic, goof around and sing some songs for eighty-seven minutes, and the rest took care of itself. (George met his future wife Patti Boyd on the set too.) Lester cut the images to the beat of the music, which some say played a role in the development of modern music videos, and Alun Owen's endlessly quotable screenplay captures the lightning-paced madness of Beatlemania, although nobody ever utters the word "Beatles."
