"George Harrison: Living in the Material World" will tell you everything you've ever wanted to know about the Beatles' lead guitarist. Director Martin Scorsese explores the life and career of the "quiet" Beatle from his early days to his time with the Fab Four through to his solo career. The documentary, which aired on HBO, clocks in at more than three hours, does run long after a while, but there is no denying Scorsese's craft. Scorsese features some never-before-seen footage and he collected a veritable who's who of the music world to talk about Harrison, including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Martin, Ravi Shankar, Phil Spector, Eric Clapton, and the list just keeps going on and on. When people discuss the Beatles, John Lennon and McCartney are usually the names people bring up first - it's always nice when George can get his due. (DVD or Blu-ray, $24.98)
