The Best Movies Featuring the Beatles Now Streaming
The Beatles made music for the one decade between 1960 and 1970, but that music and the movies they inspired have lived on through the decades that followed through to today.
Here are some of the best movies featuring The Beatles themselves and their music. You can find these films right now on streaming services like Apple TV, HBO Max, and FuboTV.
Best Movies Featuring the Real Beatles
Although The Beatles made four movies starring themselves, they’re not the definitive list of films featuring them. There are also some documentaries streaming now that offer a peek into their private and professional lives.
A Hard Day’s Night (1964)
Rated G, Musical Comedy
Director: Richard Lester
Starring: The Beatles, Wilfrid Brambell, Norman Rossington, John Junkins, Victor Spinetti, Anna Quayle
No list of the best films featuring The Beatles would be legitimate without starting with the film that launched the musical sensation’s side gig as movie stars. This, the Fab Four’s screen debut, is a slightly surreal mockumentary proclaiming to follow a “day in the life” of the band as they deal with the delights and vicissitudes of sudden superstardom.
Stream on HBO Max, Criterion Channel.
Yellow Submarine (1968)
Rated G, Animated Musical Comedy
Director: George Dunning
Starring: The Beatles, Dick Emery, Lance Percival
It’s hard to say whether this film features the “real” Beatles or not, given it’s an animated film featuring the real voices of The Beatles playing the cartoon versions of themselves.
However you describe it, this film offers a psychedelic mix of music, colourful creatures, and dazzling abstract imagery as our beloved Fab Four ride the titular vehicle to rescue a music-adoring Pepperland overtaken by the music-loathing Blue Meanies with their unique brand of groove.
Stream on Apple TV.

Best Movies Depicting the Beatles Fictionally or Their Music
There are plenty of movies about The Beatles that don’t actually feature the band so we’ve curated a list of the best ones that are streaming right now.
Yesterday (2019)
Rated PG-13, Fantasy
Director: Danny Boyle
Starring: Himesh Patel, Lily James, Sophia Di Martino
Here’s a premise for you: imagine (no pun intended) being the only person on Earth to remember — no, scratch that — to even know that The Beatles ever existed. After a bump on the head, a hapless singer-songwriter discovers himself in exactly that position. He decides to capitalize on it, presenting the songs as his own while garnering all the fame and guilt that go with the scheme.
While a high-concept like this could come off like a one-trick pony, what this talented filmmaking team delivered is a charming, feel-good tale that made audiences laugh and gasp at once while falling in love with The Beatles all over again.
Stream on Fubo TV, Spectrum On-Demand, DirecTV, Apple TV, Vudu.
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)

Director: Michael Schultz

Reports of a Split Contract Point to Taylor Swift and Her Fiancé Travis Kelce’s Matching.
(VOR News) – One of the ways that Taylor Swift showed her support for her boyfriend was by going to a football game that Travis Kelce was playing in while wearing a magnificent plaid suit that matched the outfit that he was wearing.
When this was done, it was done with the aim of making it happen, despite the fact that there were rumors going around about a split contract between the two of them.
The guy, who was 34 years old at the time, made a stunning entrance at Arrowhead Stadium while wearing a magnificent gray and black Taylor Swift checkered suit that was designed by Vivienne Westwood, who was also the designer of the costume.
She donned Taylor Swift clothing to show her support for Travis and the Chiefs.
Furthermore, they had arrived at the stadium earlier that day wearing Taylor Swift’s plaid shirt and jeans that were extremely similar to Kelce’s, which served as the basis for their synchronized costumes. This foundation was the foundation for their coordinated costumes. When Kelce arrived at the stadium, he was still wearing the same shirt and jeans that he had worn earlier.
Furthermore, Taylor greeted the occasion with a good attitude by matching her dress with a magnificent purse in the shape of a heart that she held on her wrist. This was yet another way that she showed her appreciation for the event. This item was a component of her ensemble.
It was stated by the Daily Mail that she made her return with this appearance, despite the fact that she had been absent from the two Chiefs games that came before it owing to her obligations to the Eras Tour. The fact that she had not been present for either of those games did not prevent her from accomplishing this.
“Now you all can shut the heck up about that bulls**t ‘breakup contract,'” a fan wrote on X in connection to this matter to express their opinion on the matter. “Now you can stop talking about anything.” “Now y’all can stop the hell up about that…”
It was a different fan who was the one who broke the news at this time period.
The statement reads, “BREAKING: Travis Kelce has reached a long-term extension with Taylor Swift.”
Following an extensive amount of deliberation and debate, the two parties have reached consensus on a deal that will be in place for the subsequent three years.
Providing that Travis continues to be advantageous for Taylor Swift’s company, the rules of the agreement indicate that Taylor Swift has the authority to renew the deal in the event that Travis continues to be useful. In the event that Travis is the one who is accountable for doing the dishes, there is a possibility that he may be awarded a bonus of some kind.
Swift and Kelce’s followers were able to let out a sigh of relief when it was discovered that a “contract” that had been reported to have been leaked and disclosed the exact date of Swift and Kelce’s separation was found to be nothing more than a fabrication.
This information was obtained from the source. It had been anticipated that the “contract” would have been made available.
In addition, it is worth noting that when the publication that stated that the couple had made the decision to end their relationship a month ago began to circulate on the internet, representatives for Travis were obligated to reject the charges.

‘Joker 2’ Tops the International Box Office with $81.1 Million.
(VOR News) – It is projected that “Joker: Folie à Deux” made its debut this weekend with an estimated total of $81.1 million.
This would make it the most successful film at the box office around the world and the most profitable film overall from a financial standpoint. The picture, which is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster smash “Joker,” only made $40 million in the United States of America, which is a pitiful amount of money.
The film is a sequel to the 2019 mega hit. In the year 2019, the trailer for the movie was made available. The cinematic adaptation of the peculiar comic book has generated an astonishing sum of $121.1 million in revenue all over the world. This is a result of the film’s success.
Considering that the production of “Joker: Folie à Deux” took place at an incredible cost of two hundred million dollars, Warner Bros., the corporation that provided the finance for the picture, is currently confronted with a dilemma as a result of this fact.
The second “Joker” cost $65 million, compared to $75 million for the original.
This is a substantial difference in terms of the budget. The movie has been given a terrible “D” CinemaScore since the majority of the reviews that have been published about the film have been unfavorable, and audiences appear to agree with the reviewers. As a result of this, the movie has been given a terrible “D” CinemaScore.
Lady Gaga, who is responsible for putting her own distinctive twist on Harley Quinn, a favorite character from the comics, is responsible for a significant portion of the additional expense.
Phillips, Joaquin Phoenix, who reprises his role as the unstable comedian Arthur Fleck, and Lady Gaga are all responsible for a significant portion of the increased budget. There is a large portion of the additional costs that are linked with the production of the picture that may be attributed to these payments.
There were a total of 25,788 theaters and 76 markets outside of the United States that showed the movie. In order to act as screening locations, these locations were selected.
The fact that “Joker: Folie à Deux” made $8 million in the United Kingdom, $6.9 million in Germany, $5.6 million in Italy, $5.5 million in Mexico, and $5 million in France is a fascinating piece of information to take into consideration. Furthermore, the film made $5 million in France.
Only a few examples of what has been accomplished are presented here, but they are representative of the many different results that have been obtained. One week after the film will be released in Japan on the same day, it will make its debut in China on October 16th. This will be one week after the film is released in Japan.
Japan will also release the Joker movie to the public on that same day.
After grossing $335 million in the United States, the first “Joker” film grossed $743 million in other nations across the world. This is despite the fact that the film was only released in the United States.
In addition to generating a large amount of revenue, the movie was a smash hit that was incredibly well received by audiences. The film “Deadpool & Wolverine” broke the record for the highest-grossing R-rated film when it grossed $1.32 billion worldwide.
This achievement was accomplished by the film. The film was successful in accomplishing this specific goal. During a particular period of time, the film was the one that achieved the distinction of being the highest-grossing R-rated film movie.
Before “Joker 2” caused a breach between audiences and critics, Phillips announced that he had ended his career as a director of films based on comic books. At the end of the day, “Joker 2” was not successful. By the time this took place, the film had not yet been responsible for causing the rift.
“It was fun to play in this sort of sandbox for two movies, but I think we’ve said what we wanted to say in this world,” he said in an interview with Variety in the month of August. “It was a lot of fun.” “It was a lot of fun.” “It was a lot of fun.”

Reviews of Silent Hill 2 Provide a Higher-Than-Expected Metacritical Score.
(VOR News) – The Bloober Team and Konami-produced remake of the horror game Silent Hill 2 is scheduled to launch the following week, but reviews have already started to surface, giving players a sneak peek at the updated version of the game before it is made available to the public.
It would be an understatement to say that Bloober Team was under a great deal of pressure to get the game right, especially considering that the survival-horror genre’s enthusiasts regard Silent Hill almost as highly as Resident Evil.
Considering the Metacritic score that the game has received thus far, Silent Hill 2 players shouldn’t have any worries when the game launches on November 8
. This is due to the score, which shows that the game has only ever earned favorable reviews up to this point. Fans of the Bloober Team and Silent Hill will be happy to hear this news.
Silent Hill 2 currently has an 87 Metacritic rating.
In 50 reviews, the PlayStation 5 version received a score of 87, meaning that it also received an 87 on that platform. This is based on the fact that the score was given to the PlayStation 5 version. The Silent Hill 2 personal computer version received an overall rating of 88 out of 5, placing it somewhat higher than the PlayStation 5 version.
There isn’t an Xbox version of Silent Hill 2 that can be regarded as existing because it wasn’t part of the Xbox Series X|S. There isn’t any information available at this time on whether or not it will ever be made accessible on that specific platform.
A considerable portion of Silent Hill fans had not in the slightest expected that Silent Hill 2 would achieve five flawless scores of one hundred before these reviews were published. It is extremely unlikely that they expected anything at all. Actually, the great majority of reviews are favorable.
They also call it a welcome return to form for the Silent Hill brand, complimenting the Bloober Team for their appreciation for the first Silent Hill 2. Furthermore, they believe it to be the ideal starting point for beginners who have never really experienced Silent Hill before.
Due of this, Silent Hill 2 has few Metacritic reviews, both positive and negative.
No bad reviews have been posted. Some people think that the remake may have retained some of the most annoying and constrictive elements of the original Silent Hill 2 by staying too close to the original. These individuals believe that there might have been some issues brought on by the remake.
Thankfully for those of us who are now playing Silent Hill 2, those reviews are the exception rather than the rule, with the vast majority of positive reviews making up the small amount of negative reviews.
It is true that some people became skeptical about the remake because the Bloober Team was in charge of it. Furthermore, in the perspective of both its own series and the genre at large, Silent Hill 2 has been held in the highest regard ever since it was first made accessible to the general public.
Games like Layers of Fear, The Medium, and the Blair Witch game were all made by the Bloober Team; nevertheless, no matter which game was reviewed, none of these titles received particularly high review scores. With the release of Silent Hill 2, it’s possible that the public’s perception of the Bloober Team may undergo a significant shift.
Additionally, we are now writing our own review of Silent Hill 2.
Although it has taken longer than expected because we acquired our review copy after the game was already in progress.
However, even though more reviews are being received, it is highly doubtful that these would significantly lower Silent Hill 2’s Metacritic score. despite the fact that more reviews are coming in. Players of Silent Hill 2 should have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming week as a result of this.
