bearleft said:Totally unrelated: General Gripweed, is your name a reference to "How I Won the War"? I think John Lennon's character was Private Gripweed.

I remember her explaining her name. Yeah, she got it from a Beatles movie, and she couldn't remember if it was Private, General or whatever, so she chose General. Am I right?
Edgette said:It's an excellent movie. You should try and see if you can hunt it down somewhere. Lennon is classic in it.

I really should. I've only seen Help! and A Hard Day's Night. I feel ashamed to say I'm a Beatles fan...
Sheesh, I forgot Yellow Submarine! That's the Beatle's movie I've probably watched the most. It's in our library, and I rented it every week one summer and watched it at least twice in that timeframe until I finally got around to buying it.

Magical Mystery Tour is... entertaining. It's certainly got its moments but sheesh. I Am the Walrus is great. (Isn't that what Bono sings in that new film?)
Another good one, though cheesy, is McCartney's Give My Regards to Broad Street. Really cheesy, but I always liked it.
I used to watch Help! almost weekly when I was little. And it was standard fare when I was out sick from school.
Edited because I misspelled "its"

Broadstreet is classic despite the cheesy factor. I like the part where Paul's busking on the street corner and the passer-bys are actually giving him money. Apparently they didn't use extras and no one that walked past realized who he was.
