Fun fact: In the late 1960s, the Beatles approached Stanley Kubrick about making a movie adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, that would have starred Paul as Frodo, Ringo as Sam, George as Gandalf, and John as Gollum. Obviously, that never ended up happening, but I really want to see the timeline where that movie was made.

Great video, Elliot. I grew up with The Beatles in the 60's. I was 7 years of age when I went to see A Hard Days' Night, a week after it opened in my home town. For a 7 year old, it was an electrifying experience. The line up for the film, was around the block, and then some. Luckily, my babysitter sitter and several of my friends, got tickets. It was sold out, no question. The moment the curtains opened up, Beatles were running, and the entire audience went insane! All the girls began screaming....and never stopped, until the end of the film. Once I left the theatre, I was a Beatles Fanatic...........I'm 66 now and I still am. Several years ago, I bought the Criterion set of the film.. Fantastic picture and sound. A year later (in '65) I repeated the same experience at the theatre.........nothing had changed. Love this film. As for Help!, I feel more strongly about it than A Hard Day's Night. (not saying it's a better film, just that I enjoy the fantasy element.) Yellow Submarine was a different experience for me. I was a little older at that point, so, I was expecting a different kind of film. At that young age, I certainly did not enjoy the animation. Mind you, I did like the music. Many years later, I changed my mind about this movie. I really appreciated it, still do. As for Let it Be, that's a different story altogether. I recall looking so forward to seeing it. It was in theatres in August 1970, here in Canada. On the day it opened, I had to have surgery on my knee. For the first time in my life, I missed going to the theatre to see a Beatles' film, when it opened. I eventually saw the film (at a midnight showing) in the late 70's. I did not care for it at all. For me, it was a depressing experience. The only part of the gilm I cared for, was the Rooftop concert. Now, when I viewed Get Back on Disney, I loved it. A far cry from Let it Be. Much more interesting. It looked great and sounded even better. Now, in ending, I did not mention Magical Mystery Tour. Reason: I don't care for it, period. It's saving grace is the music, love it. Anyway, I am so glad that these films have been preserved so well, many years later. I have all of them on Blu Ray & DVD & even, Bootleg (Let it Be). Once again, Elliot, great job in making this video. I really enjoy all of your Beatles' videos. Take care. (Sorry I rambled on so long, but, when talking about the Fab Four, I get carried away.)

(46:01) "We open on Paul, aimlessly noodling on a piano, a kind of funeral march". That is an interesting take on what McCartney is playing in that scene. I've always felt that what Paul was playing there - is a very interesting piece of music with classical overtones... which had the potential to be molded into a beautiful track. I have always hoped that Paul would one day come back to it - and finish it as a track on one of his solo records.

You have forgotten their best film: The Rutles. All you need is cash (1978)

2 things: it’s ironic that Paul was considered the worst actor because I think he had the best moment when he said, about his grandfather, “he’s very clean” #2 While Paul is not only my favorite Beatle, but also one of my top five heroes… I am very well aware of the fact that even in real life, he is very self-conscious and nervous… very difficult to watch him in interviews. His true self is seen best in Get Back. There we see what I think is probably the closest to being the real Paul

Yellow Submarine is in my top 3 movies of all time. I love it so much

Help! Is what got me into the beatles so it's always my favorite. Yellow submarine is so unique and looks amazing.

For me, The Beatles colour movie "Help!" was their masterpiece; and in my opinion, this movie was more the precursor to "The Monkees" TV series than the "A Hard Days Night" movie was..

That scene of them performing You're Gonna Lose That Girl I'm pretty sure was the inspiration for the Def Leppard music video for Love Bites. The lighting angles and silhouettes and background shots, everything is so on par with the Beatles in that scene.

I study the history of animation from the 1920s until the 2020s and it is genuinely one of the greatest examples of why animation is so incredible as a medium. You can do anything with it. I don’t get why anyone would prefer hyperrealism and cgi when you can have this.

Magical Mystery Tour is so good, speaking as someone who just watched it when this video came out. I love that paul, john and george all get a feature song to kind of showcase their own "style", and then Ringo's brief stint singing just comes as he's warbling a tune on the bus and being told to shut up. It showcases all their individual creative energies so well. And even though George barely features, that can be said for the other films too. It's cool enough that we have his song, which feels authentic to him in a way he never really got when it came to visual media during the Beatles years. Also, putting a striptease on the BBC during christmas is fucking metal.

Yellow Submarine was my childhood, what introduced me to The Beatles, and the absolute best Beatles movie. It's entertaining, beautiful to watch, and the songs are unbeatable

The joy i got when i saw this vid drop. This is my comfort channel

I first watched Yellow Submarine when I was in my early teens (not really all that long ago tbh but definitely a different stage of my life) and I think it was something about the whole peace and love message and how simple yet beautiful it really is that it moved me to tears. I was in the middle of my first big “Beatles phase” and during the All You Need Is Love scene I was full-on crying. Love that movie. Great video as always Elliot. Your channel has to be my favorite on all of KZread at the moment

I really hope you know how good it feels for us Beatles fans to watch all your great videos about the Beatles, Elliot!

I went to see the "Let It Be" film when it first opened... and was mesmerized by everything in it. We were getting to see The Beatles in the process of creating their songs! This was the greatest thing ever. When VCRs became available for the general public to buy... the first film I bought to play on my VCR - was "Let It Be". I absolutely loved the film and still think it was the best Beatles film of the 5 you discuss in this video. Yes... it is even better than "A Hard Day's Night". I wish someone had the foresight to film The Beatles during each of their recording sessions. That could have been what they did after the first two films had been made - and the group decided they would not be doing any more of those. Just imagine if they had simply filmed them making their records - and edited that into a 90 minute film for each album period. Those films would be so great.

Thank you for the passing nods to the music videos. Even from the start, in even in B&W, they were surreal windows into how the music and culture of the time developed, and how those music videos influenced music AND music videos for decades.

I love your assessment of the Beatles movies. Of course I've seen them all, but I clearly remember seeing A Hard Day's Night in 1964 at 6 years old with my mother and even younger sister. I thought it was fantastic and laughed my little ass off, but wondered why the girls in the theater kept screaming at the screen anytime there was a close up on any of The Beatles. My mom liked the movie too.

Yellow Submarine is my favorite film of all time, and I could fill an entire book with what I could say about it. It's place in animation is especially incredible in itself, and especially since it was seemingly an afterthought for the group it was based on. There's so much to be said about how the work tinkers with the medium of animation, and ots influence can be seen throughout the '70s and into some works to this day. More importantly I think was that this experimentation was put together under a film that could still be enjoyed whether you were a hippie, a kid, or someone just wanting a fun time, which is often a hard line for any film to draw.

I was able to catch the 50th anniversary of Yellow Submarine in theaters, and it was spectacular to see it on the big screen!

Also.. I nearly spit out my drink when you did the Subscribers YS joke.

As an illustrator, a sometimes animator and a huge beatle fan, yellow submarine's style was a mix between classic disney animation combined with paper cutouts, collages, pop art (which was a huge thing at the time) and psychedelia. Most famous shots/characters have references to other pieces of media as well as classic paintings (For example, Blue meanies can be seen wearing mickey mouse inspired hats, because apparently Heinz wasn't a fan of disney/ eleanor rigby's "all the lonely people" scene with the umbrellas is a reference to magritte's "Golconda") I could go on and on about this film but it would take forever, it's really interesting, so if you're a fan i recommend looking into it more!

He looks like George.

I am so glad you released a new video, you hands down have the best content on the Beatles!

Awesome video! Really hits home of how much the Beatles have impacted pop culture even beyond their incredible music. Their influence still affects all of us in ways we can easily miss

Yellow Submarine is my favourite song, and I have such a fondness for the movie. It's kind of funny that the Yellow Submarine movie is where they phoned it in essentially.

Wow, what a treasure! Thank you VERY much for this wonderful review. Simply one of the best 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
