Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’s appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show<\/i>. It was a landmark moment in pop culture and arguably the start of The Beatles’s legacy as one of the biggest musical acts in history. It would be silly to repeat their accomplishments here, but suffice to say, The Beatles had a large impact on global culture.<\/p>\n

Though perhaps best known for their music, The Beatles achieved fame on the screen as well. Apart from the four feature films, The Beatles appeared repeatedly in televised performances and inspired documentaries, parodies, and dramatizations. We have a surprisingly large collection of Beatles films and video collections at the AU Library, including a lengthy retrospective of behind-the-scenes footage. It’s all highly worth watching if you can’t get enough of the recent Beatles commemorations.<\/p>\n
