There's actually this movie I found on YouTube recently called "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" It was released in 1978. It was Robert Zemeckis's first film he directed, the guy who is known for movies like Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. Anyways, the whole premise of the movie is four girls and two of their guy friends who are going to the Ed Sullivan show where The Beatles played on Feb. 9, 1964 and their hi-jinks along the way. It has soooo many Beatles references and even original Beatles recordings from Please Please Me. It was well-received critically, but failed commercially, so that's most likely why not that many people, including me, knew about this great film. If you're a Beatlemaniac, this is definitely a a must-watch.
