Genre: Musical

Cast: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Leo McKern, Eleanor Bron, Victor Spinetti, Roy Kinnear, John Bluthal, Patrick Cargill
This story is about a strange religious cult whose members want to retrieve a sacrificial ring, which is now on Ringo's finger. The best part of this film is the Beatles' music that figures into the plot as cult members interfere with the Beatles' recording of a new album. A wild and funny flick.

Genre: Documentary

The Beatles were on the verge of breaking up during the filming of this documentary, as cameras followed them during their music making–including the arguments. It ends with their famous impromptu rooftop concert, which turned out to be the last concert the Beatles would give. The musical score won an Oscar, the only Oscar for the Beatles.
