I've seen so many documentaries about the Beatles that I didn't think I could learn anything new, but this little gem by director Ron Howard has some hidden nuggets that are worth seeing. "Eight Days a Week" focuses mainly on the time when the Beatles were constantly touring, which began when they did and ended in the summer of 1966. Because of this, the film doesn't cover their final 3 to 4 years, when, in my opinion, they made the bulk of their best music. Still, some of the concert footage is rare, and the impact they had on all things from pop culture (a well trodden path) to the desegregation of concerts in the south (a new and eye-opening revelation) make "Eight Days a Week" a must-see for fans of the Fab Four.
