Imagine John Lennon (1988)

**** (out of 4)

One of the best documentaries out there takes a look at John Lennon from his early days to The Beatles and his assassination. I ended up watching this at the perfect time since a few days earlier I pretty much became a big fan of Lennon's and especially his album Imagine, which this doc features many in the studio moments from. The doc did a great job at showing what Lennon was all about and that includes the rather ugly side of things. Great music, great stories make this a highly entertaining little film.
