uh-oh, Fifth of Beethoven is featured somewhat prominently--but so is rape, suicide and gang violence, for social commentary!
Saturday Night Fever did, unfortunately, give us the screechy HeeBee GeeBees, and their equally untalented younger Gib Sib, Andy, for several years to come.The Bee Gees were around, falsettos and all since the late '60s and had hits long before Saturday Night Fever (the first one dates back to 1966). You have a right to hate them, but don't blame SNF.

uh-oh, Fifth of Beethoven is featured somewhat prominentlyYou thus nuke any possibility that I will ever watch SNF. No sufficiently compensating redeeming factors.
I do vaguely remember they had some famous (s?)hit "ballad"(?) in the very late '60s---too young to remember it properly, but heard it later---however, Saturday Night Fever revived their crummy careers and really brought out the "screech" factor.
Even to think of it . . . . . Oh, God!
A Hard Day's Night is nothing more than a fluff piece.Oooh, damn you Edwin.
What can I say, I find AHDN to be a fun little romp, beyond the musical moments. In fact I think its quirkiness is refreshing, unique, and creative, even if it did come straight out of the personalities involved and a writer and director trying to crank out a movie ASAP. In my mind, they pulled it off and it worked very well.
No need to trash one film in order to praise another, right Edwin?It's called "putting it in perspective", Tino. I thought I made that clear.

I thought I made that clearYou thought wrong!
Just kidding but IMO, both SNF and AHDN are great examples of energetic films reflective of their times.
Yes of course SNF is the "deeper" of the two films, but that does not in any way diminish the enjoyment that AHDN exhibits.
"Fluff" it may be, but oh what wonderful fluff it is!:b
