Ok...let's see how many we all know.

So, I'm quite obviously looking forward to the release of "Across the Universe" tomorrow.

My question is...not counting Beatles Films, how many movies do we know that have had a Beatles influence? And yes, I count the "Sgt. Pepper's" movie as a beatle film. :-)

I can count..

Across the Universe
I Am Sam
Michael (which probably had one of my favorite side references)

So, what others can folks come up with?

Also, this video from Youtube. :-P

The death of John Lennon triggered a major confrontation/change in Mr. Holland's Opus. I don't know if that counts or not.

Sure. :-) I'd forgotten that, as it's been about 11 years since I saw that movie.

Forrest Gump
Moulin Rouge (very brief reference)

(I LOVE Michael)

Had forgotten Gump, and wow, it's been too long since I listened to the MR soundtrack..I had it in mind when I first thought of asking this question. :-)

Michael is one I haven't seen in way too long. I avoided it when it first came out, mainly due to Travolta, and it's one of his better ones.

Not sure if you count this one as a Beatle film...

... since it only had one of them in it, but:

The Magic Christian

If you haven't seen it, you must. Ringo and Peter Sellers star, and it features music by Badfinger, who were produced by Brian (no not me, silly) after the Beatles broke up. It's essentially the story behind the song "Fool and His Money".
