A Hard Day’s Night (1964, 87 min.) Shot in a “semi-documentary” style that has been copied repeatedly since, A Hard Day’s Night captures about 36 hectic hours in the life ofJohn, Paul, George and Ringo. An inexpensive “quickie” comedy intended to cash in on what was expected to be the Beatles’ short-lived fame, A Hard Day’s Night was released just three months after filming, was an international smash hit and turned out to be an instant classic. This screening will be accompanied by a live sing-along tribute performance of some of the Fab Four’s greatest hits.

Purple Rain (1984, 111 min.) When this semi-autobiographical and prophetic story of a musician’s rise to superstardom opened on July 27, 1984, Prince Roger Nelson became the first artist to ever have the top movie, album, and single at the same time. Dig if you will this musical 1980s cult classic, featuring some of the best filmed concert footage ever seen. Co-starring the members of his real-life band, the Revolution, and his high school friend Morris Day, Purple Rain is a testament to Prince’s incomparable stage presence.
