The Beatles: Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years (2016)Eight Days a Week
In 1962 four young men John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr came together to form the 20th century musical phenomenon known as, "The Beatles". The band stormed Europe in 1963, and, in 1964, they conquered America. Their groundbreaking world tours changed global youth culture forever and, arguably, invented mass entertainment as we know it today. All the while, the group were composing and recording a series of extraordinarily successful singles and albums. However the relentless pressure of such unprecedented fame, that in 1966 became uncontrollable turmoil, led to the decision to stop touring. In the ensuing years The Beatles were then free to focus on a series of albums that changed the face of recorded music. Master storyteller and Oscar winner, Ron Howard, explores this incredible journey in his own unique way: How did The Beatles do this? How did they cope with all the fame and pressure? How did they not only survive, but go on to revolutionise popular music? With original interviews, footage, staggering live performances, and the intimate study of character that Ron Howard is known for, he puts us right inside this extraordinary adventure, answering the question everyone always wants to know: What was it like to be there?!! - Director:

When the tragic news broke, in February 1980, that iconic vocalist and frontman Bon Scott had passed away, the rock world went into shock. This young man - still only 33 years old - had been at the helm of AC/DC for less than six years, but in that time, he had become one of the finest and best loved lead vocalists in rock music. Some years later Classic Rock Magazine ranked Scott No.1 in a list of the '100 Greatest Frontmen of All Time'. Following this appalling event AC/DC briefly considered disbanding, but the group recruited vocalist Brian Johnson of the British glam rock band Geordie. AC/DC's subsequent album, 'Back in Black', was released only five months later, and was a tribute to Bon Scott. It went on to become the third best-selling album in history. This documentary film recounts the bizarre events, superb music and quite extraordinary changes that occurred for AC/DC in 1980. And with the help of rare archive, live and studio footage, expert opinion from those close to the band at the time and from the world's best rock writer, and photographs seldom seen before, this program becomes perhaps the best film to yet emerge on this year of turbulence in the career of AC/DC. - Director:
