I watched this masterpiece again last night for my mother's birthday and I was reminded yet again of the utopia I felt I had entered as a child watching John, Paul, Ringo, and George (my personal favorite as a youngin.) Their rich Liverpool accents, their antics, the fantastic club scenes in London to "All My Lovin'," (something that should be played more often in clubs today,) and everything else. Paul's clean granddad played by the gifted Willfred --I wish I remembered his last name--completely blew my mind seeing it as a more competent human being after being in an acting conservatory for 3 years. He makes it seem effortless. The movie's a classic. The special features on the DVD are quite cool too.

"Are you a mod or a rocker?"
Ringo replies: "I'm a mocker"

Actually, it was Ringo who said "I'm a mocker". George, however does have the best lines in the movie; "I would be quite prepared for that eventuality"
