Here's a few, Sorry if they've been mentioned before.
Goldfinger: James Bond says ' My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!'
The Blues Brothers: 'Who do you think we are the fu**ing Beatles or something?'.
Poltergeist: When the father is trying to make the mother feel better, he sings 'If I fell' to her.
In Apollo 13, when we see the daughter of one of the astronauts she's carrying 'Let It Be'.
Rain man: Raymond and Charlie sing 'I saw her standing there' while in the bathroom.
'Because' is playing at the end of American Beauty.
And my favourite Beatles quote from 'Sliding Doors: The character of James says this, 'Everyone is born knowing every single Beatles lyric. It's ingested into the fetus along with all that amniotic stuff. In fact, they should be called "the Fetals'.
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
You reminded me in Apollo 13, just before the family goes to mission control and learns the mission is not being broadcast, the teenage girl is having a fit and doesn't want to go. "I hate Paul!" And her little sister teases, "Is she still going on about the Beatles breaking up?" I loved this quote because for many people, this will remind them clearly of the time period where the Apollo 13 incident took place.
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison

i remember that quote! i had to watch that movie in school, and that was pretty much the only part i rember paying attention to.
Harihead, I love that. I am sure anyone who was alive at the time remembers hearing about The Beatles breaking up and I am sure everyone remembers Apollo 13.
I was reading Pet Sematary (Stephen King) and in the pet cematary was a grave marker that said "RINGO OUR HAMSTER 1964-1965"
King has made several Beatle reference in a few of his books. One off the top of my head is Needful Things. I am sure there are others.
Also, I was watching "Everybody Loves Raymond" (don't ask me why I was bored) and his mom and dad were talking about how much they love jazz music and his mom made a comment "Those Beatles were just terrible!"
About a year ago I heard one of those talking head tabloid reporters (probably Harvey whats-his-name from TMZ, maybe someone else) refer to Britney Spears as being 'the Beatles of public meltdowns.'
Does anyone remember the episode of The Simpsons (it's probably over 10 years old) when Homer became part of a 4-piece band that paralleled the Beatles? I could be wrong but I think the band was Homer, Flanders, Moe the bartender and Barney (the barfly who's always burping).
they love me, they love me a lot. they love me.... Getting Better

Yeah, the B-Sharps! I love that episode! Perfect. They even kicked out Chief Wiggum a la Pete Best! So great. Mo wasn't in the band though, it was: Homer, Apu, Chief Wiggum and Principal Skinner. Chief Wiggum was then replaced by Barney. "Wiggum forever, Barney never!"
There was one in That 70s Show were Jackie and Hyde got together and Eric was talking to Jackie saying that they couldn't stay together and said "because you're breaking up the band, Yoko!" haha!
Also there was something in family guy about ringo's songwriting:
edit - also I remember one in 30 Rock where Jack d.'s girlfriend is talking to Liz saying "You know how John Lennon was better than the rest of the Beatles but didn't realize it until he met Yoko? Well I'M Jack's Yoko!" Liz: "You WANT to be Yoko?!?" haha
