Yesterday - HBO

I really liked it. Worldwide blackout and a British guy suddenly knows all these Beatles songs but the new world has never heard of them. Couple plot flaws but overall great music and quite sweet.

Had no clue THAT was coming. Yes, wonderful film!

Recording it on HBO to watch again.
Spending some time with some Beatles music sounds like a really good idea right now.

I'm instantly taken to another place and time, the second I hear any one of their songs. I consider myself so lucky to have grown up with that music.
