Filming for a Hard Day's Night

When the Beatles were filming their first movie, A Hard Day's Night, they drew a HUGE crowd everywhere they went to make the movie. This is very obvious when they were filming at Somerset for one of the train scenes. Fans were coming up to the train in large crowds and wanting photos and autographs. This wouldn't be the most intimate way to "meet the Beatles" but it would be better than nothing, that is for sure!
