I Wanna Hold Your Hand

I love the scene between Nancy Allen and Paul's bass. It is hysterically funny, and amazingly erotic.

Beyond that, the film is a loving homage to the Beatles, to their music, to Beatlemania, and to the 1960s, generally.

The hysteria of the kids, the hostility of the parents, and the desperation of so many to cash in on the new phenomenon that was the Beatles is captured hilariously, and I think, with some accuracy.

Like "American Graffiti," this film has going for it a great script that is complemented by direction that is nostalgic, even sentimental, without being sappy or preachy. It also captured young and talented actors and actresses on the verge of great success.
