I just recently saw the move for the first time and I am wondering what everyones favorite scenes are.

Mine are as follows.

1. When the reporters are asking them questions and Paul answers every question "We are just friends" or something like that.

2. When John ask the old man on the train to "Give us a kiss" acting gay towards homophobic people is one of my favorite pastimes.

3. When John is playing with the submarine toy in the bathtub and he hums "Deustchland Uber Alles" and crashes the toys together. lol

Great movie, I loved it. I am in the process of watching Magical Mystery Tour.

Some of my favourites:

- When the guys are messing around in the field (With Can't Buy Me Love playing)

- The scene with Lennon and the random woman in the makeup corridor of the theatre
" What have you heard.."

-  When they find the old man in the cupboard at the hotel, and then the nightclub scene

- when Paul gets confused in explaining to the Casino owner who his grandad is.


Whats the matter lads? Blue Meanies?

I love it ... I see it every month, more or less ... lots of scenes to choose ...

The ones mentioned above ...

The one with Ringo at the police station ... and then John coming in sweating, asking for some time (very surrealist) ... they running again the same street in both directions chased by the policemen ... all in the best Chaplin style ... it's quite funny ... I've never known if they wanted to make that scene looks like a too evident homage but making clear that they were just amateur ... because the scene does not work but it's amazing how weird it is!

I like John playing in the bathtub, so hilarious. My other favorite part is in the field.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

i love the scene where john convinces a female fan that he's not john lennon.

(just copied this from wikiquote)

    Millie: [Gobsmacked, apparently recognising him] Hello!
    John: Hello.
    Millie: Oh wait a minute, don't tell me who you are...
    John: No I'm not...
    Millie Oh, you are...
    John: I'm not.
    Millie: Oh you are, I know you are...
    John:: I'm not, no.
    Millie: You look just like him.
    John: [Acting surprised] Do I? You're the first one that's said that, ever.
    Millie: Yes you do, look.
    [She points John to a mirror, points a light-fitting over him]
    John: No, my eyes are lighter, the nose...
    Millie: Oh yes your nose is very...
    John: Is it?
    Millie: I would have said so.
    John: You know him better, though.
    Millie: [Defensive] I do not. He's only a casual acquaintance.
    John: That's what you say.
    Millie: What have you heard?
    John: [Leaning close, quietly] It's all over the place.
    Millie: [Grinning shyly] Is it? Is it really?
    John: But I wouldn't have it. I stuck up for you.
    Millie: [Touched] I knew I could rely on you.
    John: [Humble] Thanks.
    [Millie puts on her glasses]
    Millie: You know, you don't look like him at all.
    [John pouts and walks up the stairs]
    John: [Huffily] She looks more like him than I do.

Oh wow, they've got nice action-descriptions there in wikiquotes I like that scene too
Haha, hard for me to pick a favourite scene... I like pretty much the whole movie
I really like the scenes on the train, and the fanmail scene, the bathtub scene... and also the scene where Ringo is going "parading", taking photos of milk bottles, and meeting Charlie, and helping that woman cross over puddles



I'd ask my friends to come and see... an Octopus's Garden with me ^___^

And the last move in that scene was John`s winking at the woman on the stairs that was lost in the dark, as one of the films about that film says.

Nooo...I love the movie!  

My most favorite scene of all is towards the end...the big concert finale.     The "She Loves You" scene is insane and exhilarating with all the hysterical fans.



I love the Beatles more than words can express.

I am in the process of watching Magical Mystery Tour.


Magical Mystery Tour is a great movie if you can open your mind to it. While I do not condone drug use, opening your mind to this movie usually requires LSD. Although, you can still enjoy the songs without it.

As far as my favorite AHDN scenes? Well, I have seen it prolly over a hundred times. In fact I just watched it Monday (I watched Help! last night actually) and I would say my favs are the whole train scenes, in particular John acting like he is handcuffed and saying "I bet you cant guess what I was in for hoohahaha!"

I also like the bathroom scene as well, John: "Ah, zie filthy Englanders, gutenmorgen" ... Shake: "Keep Britian Tidy"

The police station scene is good as well. With Grandad telling Ringo to beware of his brisket.

Georges "grotty" canteen scene is very good as well and one of my favs. "You dont see many of these nowadays do you?"

'RUUUUUUULE BRITTANIA, BRITTANIA RULES THE - '

***SPLASH!***

Cracks me up every time. Also whenever George calls someone a swine.


'Did you ever hear of the Seattle Seven? That was me.... and... six other guys.'
