The Beatles, a bunch of bad movies & Paul's grandfather



So you might heard some music from The Beatles but did you know they actually have a bunch of funny and insane movies with a lot of random stuff? Yeah! it sounds crazy right? but is a fact, they don't have only one movie! they have seven documentary movies and all of them are silly and funny for many reasons, so would you let me show to you my three favourites movies of them? well if your answer is no...just...you know close the blog.



It was 1964 and the beatlemania was on the rise, so Brian Epstein our lovely manager  decided to gave the people the first Beatles movie ever. A Hard Day's night was a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes one of the most critically acclimated pages of all times, introducing John, Paul, George, Ringo & Paul's grandfather as the main characters and the fabulous soundtrack of the album with the same name.
It was about how the Beatles were exposed to maelstrom of screaming fans, paranoid producers, rabid press and troublesome members all this mixed with the sense of humour from the Beatles made this movie a fantastic film who deserves to be seen for everyone.


Help! Was the second film about the Beatles, this time they were more mature but with the same silly sense of humour. This time the movie was about a ring that was in the possession on Ringo and that ring just attracts the unexpected attention of a religious silly cult from Egypt, forcing the band to run around all Europe ending in the  Bahamas. It also has the soundtrack from the Beatles album with the same name.


Magical Mystery Tour, the strangest thing I've ever seen in my life. This film was produced in 1967 after the success of the album Sgt Pepper Club Lonely Hearts, basically the Beatles decided to hire a psychedelic bus, go around the English country playing their music in random landscapes and in my opinion they smoked a lot of weed.
It was more a documentary than a movie, they show to us how they experiment with their music, one amazing example of this was the influence of Indian music on their songs.


They continued doing movies until the band breaks but for me this three movies were the best of the best of their films, i enjoyed them and i hope one day you might enjoy them too.


Thanks!
