Five years after his assassination, this made-for-television drama tells the story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I wasn’t aware of John and Yoko a Love Story before my girlfriend discovered it online, but it’s definitely worth watching. The 1985 flick picks up at the height of the fallout of John’s comments about The Beatles being bigger than Jesus, and vowing to quit playing live as the hysterical teenyboppers make hearing the music impossible. From there John meets Yoko at one of her art exhibitions and we’re off to the races. The New York Times praised the acting by both Mark McGann and Kim Miyori in the title roles as well as the actual Beatles recordings which make up the soundtrack here.
