"Let It Be" (feature) by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1970

Although there are some great moments in this film like the rooftop concert and The Beatles jamming with Billy Preston, there are some equally cringe-making scenes where McCartney and Harrison get in a row, and just an overall dreary look to the film. It was officially released to home video for a short time, but never on DVD, and never in the quality seen in "The Beatles Anthology". I’m sure Paul and Ringo don’t know what to do with it as it doesn’t show them in their best light. However, it is history and it is The Beatles, so it should be released, warts and all, perhaps in two versions, the original way and a remade way, without the bickering. There’s hours of unreleased footage that’s probably usable.
