how come they havent already done a movie about the beatles? like have other actors play beatles roles...im not talking about like hard days night or anthology, but like a "Ray" type film...that would be something.
I love Backbeat - absolute classic film. I need to get another copy of the soundtrack at some point - I taped over mine years ago. The backbeat band has to be one of the best 'supergroups' ever put together, even if Dave Grohl's drummng is a little bit too complimentary to Pete Best!
They did The Linda McCartney Movie which I thought was ok. Two of Us is a little tripe. Sometimes I imagine it is John/Paul. Backbeat wasn't too bad, I thought.
In His Life and John and Yoko: A Love Story were both pretty good. Couple of inaccuracies but I didn't really give a flying flea kick.
There's a couple of others like The Hours and the Times which... I have not completely seen but I'm sure it's homotastic.
Also 'Give My Regards to Broad Street' has Paul in it and it's sort of like A Hard Day's Night. SORT OF. (not really!)
Paul would play Paul if they made a Beatles movie. Oh yeah. It's true.

magical mystery tour?
Well, there WAS a Sgt. Pepper's movie in the 1970's...but it didn't have the Beatles. It had various musicians and stuff from the decade, and it was a lackluster effort. Needless to say, it was dreadful.
