The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

Help! The Beatles followed up their debut film A HARD DAY'S NIGHT with this fanciful spy spoof. When Ringo adds a new ring to his collection he's unaware of how important and dangerous this piece of jewelry is. On one hand a religious cult considers it a sacred object and the wearer mu...

The Beatles - Help SYNOPSIS: In their second feature with director Richard Lester, who oversaw the massive hit A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles again aim for a mix of goofy comedy and sterling pop music.

Magical Mystery Tour The album feels even more like a collection of singles (instead of an actual movie soundtrack) than Help! or A Hard Day's Night, but maybe that's because every song sounds like it could have been a hit single--with the natural exception of the goofy/weird instrumental "Flying."

Like Watching a Painter at Work
This is definitely art in moving form. Mesmerizing. Capturing The Beatles during their very brilliant psychedelic period. This dvd is great for anyone who wasn't born, can't remember or wants to take a journey back in time. Though not a Beatles fanatic,I can't resist taking refreshing glance backward to a strange but wonderful place in time. 'I am The Walrus' played out by the band in beautiful,colorful clothes and egg costumes is spliced and put together in a psychedelic collage that's a masterpiece.This in itself is a reason to get this dvd. The whole film is spectacular. Highly recommended.

Do not watch unless intoxicated
I watched this film in an altered state of consciousness with my friends S. and T., and we throughly enjoyed it. The next day, my friend S. shows the scene preceding "Fool on the Hill" to E. to demonstrate its genius, only to realize how terrible this film is. On the other hand, I still have good memories of the movie, especially the bit featuring George Harrison.

Beatles Hit the Road With Aunt Jessica And Friends
I like the eleven Beatles music scenes that are essentially pre-MTV music videos. Unfortunately, the remainder of the program, which mainly features "Aunt Jessica", will give you nightmares. They should have provided an option to play only the Beatles music scenes.

you will love it if your a true beatles fan
the magical mystery tour is amazing the beatles are psycadelic masterminds obviously you dont watch the movie how its supoused to be watched...on drugs. thats how they ment it to be watched i love the movie it is really trippy and i think its trippyier than yellow sub. but dont get me wrong the yellow sub has a plot and a good story line and is a better all around movie. but if your watching it for how it was sposed to be watched youd like m.m.t

"Take a guess!"
"Magical Mystery Tour" is a 50 minute or so TV special that the Beatles shot and directed in 1967, and originally was shown on Boxing Day in that year in England. John, Paul, George, Ringo and his aunt take a tourist bus around England, a ride where anything can happen, and some of that anything does. The many adventures they have include a foot and car race, watching a movie in a tent bigger on the inside than the outside, a stripshow, and a singalong on the accordion. The first CD I ever bought was "Magical Mystery Tour" by the Beatles, and I loved the music. I used to think to myself, "Wow, the film that goes with this soundtrack must be amazing." I'd seen the video clip for "I Am The Walrus" and thought it was pretty neat. I wondered what the rest of the film would be like. I imagined a great little dance sequence with Paul singing to children in "Your Mother Should Know", I imagined lots of colour and wonder. A few people I knew didn't like it (they said that nothing happened in it) but I was sure it couldn't have been as bad as all that. I finally got my hands on a copy the other day and had a look. Basically, it was better than my friends said it was, but still not nearly as good as I'd imagined it would be. The music is, of course, great. Energetic drumming on the title track, nice early use of flange on "Blue Jay Way", "Fool of the Hill" is nice and whimsical. I could live without the "Death Cab For Cutie" song though, an Elvis-ish song sung during the strip show by some sleazy looking fellow (from the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band). There's a lot less of the actual Beatles than I expected, and hardly any Beatle banter. They're passengers, they're wizards too, but the film doesn't really seem to be focused on them. What is the plot focused on? It's hard to say, it's all very weird, but not in a colourful Yellow Submarine or a funny Monty Python way. It just doesn't make a lot of sense. Things will be happening on the tour and then they'll cut to a music video. The music feels a little tacked into the plot, which is a strange thing to do for a Beatles film. The music videos aren't too shabby though. I quite liked the ones for "I Am The Walrus" and "Fool On The Hill". For those who follow the "Paul is Dead" phenomenon, there's a couple of clues in this film. Paul wears a black rose while the other Beatles where red. The number of wizards is described by the narrator as four or five (a replacement for Paul perhaps). There's also the Walrus, of course. Personally, I reckon Paul's very much alive, and he'll probably outlive all the other Beatles, making these references very ironic. Worth a look for Beatles fans, though I'd recommend seeing "Yellow Submarine" first. Definitely get your hands on the album though, the CD has all the Beatles songs from the film, plus classics such as "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Penny Lane" and "All You Need Is Love".
