Which of the above movies do you like best?


I love Help! Everytime I watch it I notice something new. It always makes me laugh. 

I don't like Yellow submarine whoever did the voice of ringo makes me cringe

A Hard Day's Night captures the spirit of the Beatles & Beatlemania itself back in 64 in all its glory.

What does it look like!

Plus I havn't seen help.

Let it be is not on your list.  More of a docudrama but a hard day's night would be my choice here.

I was going to put Let It Be on the list but like you said, it's more of a docudrama.

I adore 'A Hard Days Night". I have lost track of the number of times I've watched that! It is just so classic and takes you back to Beatle Mania at its height (so younger fans like myself can experience that). Help is also good for a laugh, but I prefer AHDN.

AHDN is classic cinema and groundbreaking in its use of handheld cameras and the faux reality of their lives.  A fake documentary if you will.

The movie just conveys the joy of youth and music and the Beatles so well.

MMT is the dregs, followed by LIB.  Yellow Submarine is great, original animation and stands on its own even without a lot of Beatle input.  Help! is very good as well but compared to AHDN a lesser effort.

Still, fun Beatley stuff!

Voted for 'a hard day's night'...the thing i don't like in yellow submarine is that they didn't even let the beatles do their own voices

AHDN... i liked it better than Help and Yellow submarine and as for MMT, i did not see it

I will go with a hard days night.  It was the best for me.

Yellow submarine is the best imo, followed by Help, A hard days night and then mmt

Didn't AHDN won an Oscar?

Does anyone know if AHDN is still available on video, or whether you can only buy it on DVD now? Are there extras on the DVD editions? Can you still purchase MMT and Yellow Sub, LIB?

There are extras on the DVD's but the only deleted scenes available are "You Can't Do That" from AHDN and "Hey Bull Dog" from YS (this was deleted on most versions of the film).

There are some great featurettes on the DVDs though. Help!, MMT and LIB are not available on DVD as yet although Help! and MMT should still be available on VHS which features trailers from the film.

It wasn't that "they" didn't "let" the Beatles use their own voices. "They" would've given their eye-teeth for real Beatle voices.

It was the Beatles themselves that didn't want anything to do with the film. It was a "contractual obligation" thing. Later, when they saw what a quality job the animators had done, the Fabs agreed to do the film sequence at the end, and be more visibly associated with the film.

I wonder if it would have been possible (when they were all alive of corse) for them to make a version with there voices. they could have put it out as a collectors item or something.

i like help the most

its cool

Okay bryan I now declare you #1 spamer. I can do this cuse I'm a mod.

My god... the words "pot" and "kettle" spring to mind!

Indeed.

Being a mod is not the same as being a god.

I always heard that they were just too busy and travelling too much to actually do the voices. Ria's response makes the most sense and i'm sure its right, but its just another little tid bit that I should have known and didnt.

Yeah, The Beatles had a 4 film contract with United Artists and somehow Yellow Submarine meant they only had to make one more film... Let It Be!

I voted Help! it's very funny and A Hard Days Night is good but it's kind of cheesy.

A Hard Day's Night

I never knew it wasn't them doing their voices until a few years ago! Shows how stupid I am!! Needless to say, I was very dissapointed!

That was an extremely hard pick between Help! and a Hard Day's Night, I picked AHDN though because I can't help but laugh no matter how many times I've seen it.

A Hard Day's Night
Yellow Submarine
Magical Mystery Tour

Help!

Help! is really popular with some people I've met....I don't really understand it's appeal....it has some decent music videos, but the humor and the band's effort is a big letdown when compared to AHDN.

i like AHDN but it is cheesy and Help! is more like a regular movie.

I think Help! is funnier than AHDN for some reason. It's just so stupid it's funny. I love AHDN too, but it takes itself a bit more seriously. Help! is like one of those great campy movies. But I think the one I've seen most is Yellow Submarine. That has to be the best non-Beatle involved movie. I love it. Magical Mystery Tour is horrible. They're barely in it! Hey, why isn't Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the list! Bah Hah!! Just kidding. Aerosmith did a cool version of Come Together though.

Very true. 

yello holla

I remember Alice Cooper in the Pepper movie too. Didn't he do Because the World is Round it Turns Me On? Or whatever that song is. Does anyone remember who else was in the movie? Come on, admit it, you saw it too!

Billy Preston is in it supposedly.....and The Bee Gees are the good guys with Aerosmith being their arch nemesis band......weird stuff, I haven't seen it though....

yeah, I forgot about Billy Preston. I can't remember what he sang though. Maybe I am the only one who saw it!! That's part of my Beatle obsession. If a movie has the slightest thing to do with them I have to see it! I'm even ready to watch Cheaper by the Dozen because it has a cover of Help! in it that I'm curious to hear.

Help! is a great movie, everyone has seen a hard day's night...or not. I saw ahdn first, then I saw Help!. AHDN captures the spirit of the 60's, but Help! is funnier. AHDN was a movie with 'in-jokes' (if you know what I mean). I really didn't understand the scene where John says this 'She looks more like him than I do'.

I've never actually seen it (honest!), but I think Peter Frampton was in it too.

Yeah, Frampton was Billy Shears. Barf!! And I believe George Burns was Mr. Kite? Oy!

A Hard Days Night is still my favorite followed by Help! then Yellow Submarine, Magical Mystrery Tour and Let It Be. I might also add that Let It Be can be almost painful to watch at times. Sad  to see a  the group implode.

Yeah, Let It Be is undoubtedly the worst....it's so depressing.....Magical Mystery Tour is next in line because of the nonvideo segments dragging on forever most of the time....I can stand the other three films though, with AHDN and YS being true classics.
