Not really modern, but there's this Only Fools and Horses epi where Rodney is in a band, being the drummer, and Del Boy calls him Ringo

And in a Midsomer Murders episode called The Axeman Cometh, there was also a drummer who got called Ringo.

And also, there was something in the paper last week... a photo of MPs walking to some meeting with the Prime Minister, and in the photo they were crossing the road Abbey-Road-style. Later there was a little article about the photographer, saying he did it on purpose this way coz he's a Beatlemaniac

I was up late last night flipping channels and I came across this movie called Fletch (w/Chevy Chase).  he was in a hospital dressed up like a doctor when he faints.  As he was coming around a nurse asked him "Is there anything I can get you?" and he responds "Have you heard of The Beatles White Album?"

In Pulp Fiction, during the robbery at the diner, Jules (played by Samuel L. Jackson) keeps calling the British robber (played by Tim Roth) "Ringo."

You that's right! How could I forget? I love Pulp Fiction! One of my favorite movies of all time.  

never saw it

It's a great gangster movie!

I'm watching some food show, not sure which, but I heard the beginning of Dizzy Miss Lizzy in the background.

I should watch it I guess.
I've heard about the ketchup joke.

they also use Macca's Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey in the episode Uncle Albert decides to run away from home

I saw a movie preview today for some movie starring Ricky Gervais. It actually looks pretty cute. He dies temporarily and can now see dead people. Not very original, but if anyone can make it funny... ANYWAY, during the preview they used I'm Looking Through You and it was the ACTUAL Beatles version!! How is that possible??!! I thought that was next to impossible?? What's going on!!!

I watched Shrek 3 with my little cousins one day. And at the part where the "magical frog" i guess, dies. All the sudden, so unexpectedly, here comes Paul's beautiful voice singing "Live and Let Die". My mouth literally dropped for a second. hah
I thought that was so cool of them, to put that song on a kid's movie. Well of course, the kids probably don't know who Paul is, much less The Beatles, but the whole idea of it was pretty genius.

Yea I thought that was pretty cool on Shrek  

The Shrek movies are super cute! I heart Pus in Boots!

hha yeah me too.
He's a cute character.

Also from Pulp Fiction is the scene at Jackrabbit Slim's where Mia (Uma Thurman) tells Vincent (Travolta) that there are Elvis people and Beatles people, and while you can like both of them, no one can like them equally.  Then I think she tells him that he's an Elvis man.
