Best Answer

The Beatles made two movies, A Hard Day's Night in 1964 and Help! in 1965, both starring well-known English actors, and neither of which were award-winning cinematic classics, but pleasantly enjoyable comedies. United Artists signed the Beatles to a three-picture deal, mostly because they were interested in selling a soundtrack album for the first one.


Not long after, there was also a series of short TV cartoons featuring the adventures of the animated Beatles and their music. These were produced by King Features Syndicate, but the band themselves had no involvement with them.


In a period of self-indulgence, the Beatles themselves produced Magical Mystery Tour in 1967, a fairly lacklustre TV-movie about a supposedly enchanted bus trip, again featuring a handful of well-known English actors and songs from their EP of the same name.


In 1968, the producers of the Beatles cartoons made Yellow Submarine, a feature-length cartoon movie that the animated Beatles liberating Pepperland from the evil clutches of the "Blue Meanies". It also had little Beatle involvement, but it had their blessing because it finished their movie deal for them.


Let It Be was originally planned as a 1969 television special called Get Back, with sessions for a new album filmed as the songs were rehearsed and recorded. It turned into a debacle, with infighting between the Beatles, and was shelved for months. Their Accountants finally told them they spent too much money to just "let it be", and a movie release would pay back the costs more effectively. Since "Get Back" had already appeared as a single, the project was retitled, and since widescreen movies were now the thing, the footage was re-edited. The movie appeared in the spring of 1970.


The Beatles made two movies, "A Hard Day's Night" in 1964 and "Help!" in 1965, both starring well known English actors, and neither of which were award winning cinematic classics, but pleasantly enjoyable comedies as vehicles to further promote them to the world and to feature their latest songs from the albums of the same name. At about this time, there was also a series of short TV cartoons featuring the adventures of the animated Beatles and their music. In a period of self-indulgence, they produced "Magical Mystery Tour" in 1967, a fairly lack-lustre movie about a Magical Mystery Tour again featuring a variety of well known English actors and songs from their EP of the same name. In 1968, the same people who produced the Beatles TV cartoons, made "Yellow Submarine", a feature length movie of the animated Beatles liberating Pepperland from the evil clutches of the "Blue Meanies" all to the music of the recently released "Yellow Submarine" album including orchestral pieces from George Martin. The final effort commenced in 1969 with the filming of the recording of "Let It Be". This movie was actually titled "Get Back", but is possibly more commonly referred to as the "Roof Top Concert". The movie culminates with the roof top performance by the Beatles of some of the "Let It Be" tracks" and is closed down by the police. John Lennon starred in a movie entitled "How I Won the War". George Harrison was a major player in the "Hand Made Films" production company with the Monty Python crew.

Birth of The Beatles; John and Yoko: A Love Story and In His Life: The John Lennon Story. The first movie they appeared in was A Hard Day's Night; the first docudrama about them was 1980's Birth of the Beatles. (It's not only wildly inaccurate in places... it's terrible overall.)

The Beatles themselves appeared in five movies about themselves: A Hard Day's Night, Help, Magical Mystery Tour (a short TV movie), Yellow Submarine and Let it Be.

Subsequent fictionalised films about the Beatles include The Hours and Times, Backbeat and Nowhere Boy. These were not authorised by the Beatles.

A number of documentaries also exist, including The First US Visit, The Beatles at Shea Stadium and Anthology.
