I hate to say it, but I doubt it strongly, because it seems like the classic Beatles movies have disappeared from TV.  I think ACM would be the only channel these days that would show them, but I have seen Herman Hermit's movies more than A Hard Day's Night, Help & Let It Be.  When I was growing up, I saw Elvis & Beatles movies, as well as Gimme Shelter with the Stones & Monterey Pop with Jimi Hendrix. I don't think ACM or TCM will ever show any Beatles movies again for some reason.  It's too bad the kids of today will probably never get to see Help & AHDN like I did way back in 73 & 76.

i've no idea how the rights about the movies are... here in vienna a cinema wanted to show yellow submarine this summer. only one time for a special called "summer of love"... there even made commercials for this film, but when i wanted to buy two tickets they told me they can not show it.... because they don't get the rights.
it's even hard to buy most of the movies somewhere, amazon only has "a hard day's night" so i really doubt that they will be shown on tv... especially on the german/austrian tv-stations.

It's time for local stations to show how much they know about quality ...

[Wayne L.]

I don't know about local stations raxo, but they could show Beatles movies, just as much as they show Elvis movies on cable.  

[raxo]

Elvis' movies are more mainstream (westerns included) and that could be the main reason  ??) ... Magical Mystery Tour or Let It Be are far away from there ...

Only A Hard Day's Night and Help! seem to fit with that premise but some think that Yellow Submarine is the only image product they made ... and they hardly were involved!!!
 
You're not the only one who misses their films on TV, Wayne L.  

[Bobber]

A Hard Day's Night is on tv every now and then.

[Wayne L.]

AHDN might be on TV every now & then & I saw it for the first time 30 years ago, but Beatles movies are fading into obscurity, except by the fans, for some reason.

[ma_tt2]

I've seen AHDN on T.V. a few times

[Mairi]

I've seen AHDN on Much once.

[zipp]

AHDN is going to be shown on French national TV on 2nd November, but this is an extremely rae occurrence. - like once every 20 years.
Could it be to get people talking about the Beatles pending the release of Love?

[Soft_Guitar60]

I've seen AHDN on French TV last year ...and with subtitles.  

[zipp]

What channel?

[Wayne L.]

I'm talking about on Turner Classic Movies, which shows lots of classic movies, without any commercials in the U. S., more than what's on TV somewhere else Soft_Guitar60.  

[Soft_Guitar60]

In answer to zipp's question, I think it was on France 2 in Belgium.

Ah, well...TCM sometimes shows great movies...I did see Elvis movies on that channel.
Doesn't TCM mostly show MGM movies?

[Bobber]

A Hard Day's Night and Chaos And Creation At Abbey Road on November 2nd on Arte in Europe.

[Wayne L.]

You might still see AHDN & Help along with MMT & Let It Be in other countries, but they seem to be disappearing on TV in the U. S.
