Hard Day's Night, Help !, Magical Mystery Tour :

HDN 1) The "Can't Buy Me Love" field scene

Help! 2) Beatles skiing to "Ticket To Ride"

MMT 3) John & George at the strip club!  (it was a toss-up between this one and the spaghetti shoveling scene, of course..)

The Mr. Creosote scene in Monty Pythons' Meaning Of Life always reminds me of the Spaghetti scene.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!  (in fact, I'm trying to recall if that was Terry Jones or Palin underneath that fat suit)

forgive me--I LOVE Python, a major fan--but still don't have that particular dvd (just Holy Grail and show eps)

I think it's Terry Jones, but not 100%.

Hurrah!, Python fans are welcome here! I'm a HUGE fan too, they were the next Beatles in
my opinion!  

In fact George and Eric Idle were such pals..didnt George bankroll cpl of Python projects ?

Python... I liked Holy Grail but Meaning of Life was a bit... too graphic

Back to the q- best scenes in...
AHDN: J in Bathtub, Cant buy Me Love scene, Charlie convo, Pardon me for asking... scene

Help!: toilet scene (oh yeah!), bicycle scene, Buck's palace

MMT: Fool on the Hill scene, Balloon scene, Magician scenes, All my Loving scene

1. Wilfred Brambell telling Ringo to go parading (cafe scene)

2. The Beatles Skiing scene in Help.

3. John as the waiter shoveling spagettii on the fat woman's plate
   in Magical Mystery Tour.

Hmm, so much to love from these movies, but off the top of my head I'd say:

AHDN: On the train-John sniffing the coke bottle, "You're a swine",  & "Give us a kiss" with fluttering eyelashes! And if you look at my avatar you'll see one of my FAV scenes!

Help!: Regarding "Famous Beethoven's famous 9th symphony"-"Why didn't you think of that you twit!" Ringo crying when red paint is poured on him.

MMT: The Magicians, and of course, it's the only place you can find a video for "I am the Walrus"

I'll be back with more...
Now I just want to be at home watching these instead of at work!

ahdn - bathtube/shave-scene
help - intermission (i sometimes call my sis on the cellphone and say "intermission" we both jump whereever we are 2 seconds around and she says "end of intermission" and we hang up... it makes no sense at all but cracks me up every time.) or george jumping on the pink car. i like him as a hero.
mmt - the magicians

AHDN: John in the bathtube
Help!:  Ringo confronting the Siberian tiger
MMT: John singing I am the walrus

AHDN: In the opening scene where George falls as he is running and John looks back and laughs
Help!: The 5 more attempts on poor Ringo's life
MMT: I Am The Walrus, balloon scene

More! More !

HDN : Ringo hanging out by the river w/ that kid playing hooky from school--nice scene.

Help! : the Salasbury Plains scenes (near Stone Henge) when paul was doing "The Night Before" or George doing "I Need You"

MMT : The Fab in white suits coming down the stairs doing "Your mother Should Know"--(like some cheesy 30's Hollywood musical, but tongue-in-cheek in The Beatles hands... )

darn!, i missed out the Bathroom Scene in AHDN! so many great scenes!
such a classic!  

lol john w/ the toy sub in HDN...OR (I just remembered this one also from HDN): When Norm comes to "fetch" John from his bath, only to find John "down the drain"....CLASSIC !! OR ..when the boys are sizing up the "director" in HDN (Victor Spinetti) and they mention Spinetti's sweater was knitted personally by his wife (or gf) and John retorts " She probably knitted him.." (always laughed at that one)


(note: i'm relying TOTALLY from memory here--I havent looked at these films for years even though I have EVERY one in my dvd and vhs collection)

Oh yeah!  
By the way, I like your avatar

thx..it's very sgt. pepper era George (from the famous Avedon photo)

...OR...in Help !  (in the Austrian mountains section) when the Beatles were playing "curling" on the ice with LIVE explosive mines!!!!!!  George warning everyone "it's a thingy!!!!!!" hahahaha do u guys remember that scene ? I was just sitting here and it came back to me.

I'm moving my left leg, i'm moving my right leg!!
I love that bit!  

Quoted from Andy Smith

I'm moving my left leg, i'm moving my right leg!!
I love that bit!  

haha, yeah I remember that one...(it's like u wanted to scream at that guy GET ON WITH IT!!)

I like the scene in Help! where John phones Paul and George and holds up the alarm clock to the phone

yeah...or when Paul "gets small" in Help ! (long before Steve Martin ever did...!!) touche !! LOL

Hehehe, great thread, I love Beatles-movies!  

So many great scenes in Help!... it's my favourite Beatles-movie, actually.  
My favourite scenes would be... the whole bit from the jeweller till the end of the "fight" scene where Paul un-shrinks again (so including the scientists and the You've Got To Hide Your Love Away bits), the "bathroom" scene, the "sleeping" scene ("what are you doing on the floor?" "I'm tired"   ), Ticket to Ride, the curling scene, and now I'll stop before I mention the entire movie. But these are my main favourites  

For AHDN, my favourites are the bits on the train, the "parading" scenes and Can't Buy Me Love.

MMT: Fool on the Hill!! And John's balloon scene, and the one where Ringo goes "I can't take it anymore, I'm getting off, OFF!!" and his aunt says "don't get historic"   Oh yeah, and the magicians scene... anyone knows where the bus is?    

YES !!!!!!! "don't get historic!!" said by aunt Jessie on the bus.. hahaha god this brings back SO MANY HAPPY memories for me (excuse me, I'M  getting 'historic' now..) I could talk about Beatle stuff ALL DAY...LITERALLY

^hehe, a 24-hour Beatles conversation - sounds good to me, Mr Mustard!!  

"Sorry if we hurt your field, Mister."






I'm a deserter
Are you now?
Yeah, I've blown school out
Just you?
No, Ginger, Eddy Fallon and Ding Dong
Ding Dong? Oh Ding Dong Bell, eh?




I can't find a picture, but here's the direction for the scene where George scolds the Relativity Cadenza



Bad machine!  Bad!







Death Cab For Cutie

GREAT PIX OF HDN & MMT !!!!

And then when the swimmer appears asking for the White cliffs of Dover...LOL  
That scene is so fun.   Actually Help is my favorite Beatle movie.  

Quoted from Dark Phoenyx

Actually Help is my favorite Beatle movie.  

so you will be getting excited about the DVD coming out in Oct!

You can see the Marx Brothers influence in their films. We all know how keen John was on Groucho  

'Mr. Creosote' was definitely Terry Jones. I believe George helped back 'The Life of Brian' which nobody else seemed to want to touch.

Gotta love the 'Help!' Intermission.

Leo McKern...later of "Rumpole of the Bailey" !

In a scene from 'Help', where Ringo is mumbling saying he is posting a letter.

AHDN: The Field Scene
Help!: Ringo's Karate!  
MMT: John and George with the little girl and the balloon

Quoted from Flaming Pie in the Sky

AHDN: In the opening scene where George falls as he is running and John looks back and laughs
Help!: The 5 more attempts on poor Ringo's life
MMT: I Am The Walrus, balloon scene

Flaming, your picture of Paul reminds me of my sig picture of Jimmy  

AHDN: Hey, who's that little old man? scene
Help!: The attempts on Ringo's life
MMT: Walrus scene

AHDN - John in bath scene
Help! - Ahme's attempts to get the ring off ringo while the Fab Four are in their house (ie the beginign scenes, you know)

help: paul shrinking
mmt: i am the walrus or blue jay way

I love I am The Walrus one of my favourite pieces of Beatles film  

hmm tricky question. Would have to go for:

AHDN: The 4 Beatles running and jumping around the grass field with 'Can't Buy Me Love' playing in the background.

Help!: Buckingham Palace scene about Ringo's hand.

MMT: I Am The Walrus (It has to be!)

I love the Buckingham Palace scene where Paul is playing catch off the wall and he's all "Caught this one hand" and then demonstrates.
