Format:VHS Tape
December 8, 1980 - New York City
"John Lennon, the guiding spirit of The Beatles, dead tonight at 40."
"John Lennon, the guiding spirit of The Beatles, dead tonight at 40."
Those immortal words at the end of the movie bring tears to everyone who was a fan of John Lennon. I remember hearing and seeing that news report from a hospital bed at 6 years old. It was and always will be a tragic memory. The man who resurfaced after a 5 year absence with a powerhouse of music destined for new life had been cut short just a few hours after an interview where he said:
"My work won't be finished until I'm dead and buried. And I hope that's a long, long time."
The long time was 2-3 hours.
The movie is an intimate portrait of Lennon's life and legacy. It exposes the chaos behind the myth, as well as the genius behind the man. With all the tales from friends, associates, Paul, George, Ringo, and George Martin on "The Beatles Anthology," this one focuses on Lennon's life in his own words and home videos. Taken directly from the archives of the man himself, there has never been a better documentary on Lennon. From Liverpool beginnings to the end in New York City, watch the boy become a superstar, the superstar into a man, and the man become a legend.
Remember John Lennon 1940 - 1980...

Format:DVD
This film is about John Lennon's life - as told through a collection of film clips, some previously seen, but many from the private archives of Yoko Ono. Actually the film is threaded together like a documentary running in chronological order from John's earliest years, through the birth of the beatles and into the solo years and uses john's voice from film clips and recordings to narrate the story of his life. This is a newly-remastered version containing extra footage and an extra disk to the original release. Recommended for anyone interested in the life of the much-missed John Lennon.

Format:VHS Tape
This video has everything you need to remember a living legend, home movies, live performances, video's, etc. I'm a John Lennon fan and found this to be one of his best videos yet!! The video is narrated by the man himself and is assembled from the private files of Yoko Ono. Its shows a great insight into his life and great footages from his campaigns for peace. LENNON LIVES ON.

Great, but not the original movie!!!
Well, it's great (obviously - it's John Lennon right and there's lots of behind the scenes stuff in there). But, sadly it is not what I was hoping for! Read more

It's John Lennon
If you're into Lennon, then you'll enjoy this dvd. It is a pretty fair balance of John the good guy and the downer.
