If you really want to be impressed with the leap in quality, the movie was shot in 1963, well before they went to America. So the stuff they were playing on Sullivan et al was already a bit old hat to where they were already heading. It's just dizzying how rapidly they developed and abandoned comfortable styles because they wanted to do something else. Only Brian Wilson comes close amongst their peers to constantly wanting to advance, to shun the safe formula as soon as possible.

I voted And I Love Her. Great song, but a bit too soppy IMO.
I went with that. Still a great song.

ISHKB. Overall a really strong side including possibly my favourite Beatles track, If I Fell. Perfect song. ISHKB though is the weakest for me here, aside from the harmonica, nothing too offensive here, just does little for me.

Shame if And I Love Her goes. Another fantastic track, only ruined by the chord it ends on.

The major chord is great at the end!

I disagree but it's just a minor fault.

I hope that "minor fault" pun was intended.

You, sir, are my enemy. I'm recalling the ambassador and ordering bombers to lay waste to your cities.

Just to save you wasting your time, there really isn't much left there anyway.
