Summary: THE BEATLES AT THERE BEST
Review: HELP! is one of my favorite movies of all time. I like the part when they played"You've got to hide your love away"to that girl in the house.I would give it more stars if i could.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A really fun film from the era when the Beatles ruled!!!
Review: This one was more complex than "A Hard Day's Night", but I wouldn't call it better or worse --- just different! Obviously, their budget was a lot bigger, as the number of different and exotic locales shows this! But one thing BOTH movies shared is the GREAT Beatles' soundtracks! They had the BEST music!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Great Movie
Review: HELP! is a terrific movie, full of quick, inteligent wit, and ofcourse, the Beatles! I think you have to like the beatles to like their movies. although it is sometimes hard to understand them, if you watch it enough times you catch some of the best lines. The word usage makes this film unique and funny. Also the scenes that look like they are improved are great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A perfect movie for any Beatles fan.
Review: I think the Beatles are awesome in this movie. I was so happy when the anthology came out and when stores started selling there albums. I have every album except Abbey Road. There music is simply awesome.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like the Beatles you'll love this movie.
Review: When Help! was released in 1965 it was the teenage movie event of the year. Since the first time I saw it as a fourteen year old boy I have loved it and I have watched it countless times. In 1965 the movie was not the Rock Hudson -Doris Day stuff that our parents wanted to see, but for us Beatles fans it provided great scenes of the Beatles playing their music. The movie is also full of the Beatles challange authority humor that we loved at the time. Now we have it on DVD. After watching a copy taped off the TV for years what a treat it is to have on DVD. The sound is excellent but best of all is the visual it has a distinct three dimensional quality to it. This was the first DVD that we bought for our new computer and it is fun to show our Beatles era friends. The absolute best part for baby boomers who are now parents and who are trying to provide alternative decent entertainment for their children is that Help! is and always was rated G. Our thirteen and ten year old boys love it and watch it frequently. Now they have begun to memorize the same lines that have been rattling around our heads for 34 years. ( "The famous Beatles and the famous Scotland Yard") The viewer new to this movie should try to contemplate just what a huge effect this movie had on us teens in 1965. The Beatles clothing for instance instantly changed how we wanted to dress. They started wearing longer shirt collars for instance and purple and white stipes. None of us had ever seen this but we immediatly started trying to find the closest thing to it in the clothing stores. The DVD also contains some addition Beatles material that is very much welcome by the Beatles fan always hungering for some new shots. The original theater trailer and footage from the film set and the world premiere are well worth having. See if you can pick out all the 1965 stars at the premiere. If you like things Beatles then you need to have this DVD before any other.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent and fun movie!
Review: The plot and songs just make you want to yell and sing out loud to the world! Ringo plays the comic relief in the best way with John, Paul, and George along for the ride. This movie really is a ticket to ride!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun!
Review: This is a great movie, I spent many hours lip syncing along to the dialogue, it's just a fun, feel-good movie, a classic. Not to mention, it contains (as does "Hard Day's Night") some of the first (and best) music videos.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good, with a great plot!
Review: This movie might not be famous for being the first of it's kind, but it's not something you should just pass bye when you're looking for anything to do with the Beatles. Set in England, the Bahamas, and a sking place, it's more of a comedy than a musical, even though it has great songs such as "Help!" "You've got hide you're love away" and many others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fab 4 do it again!!!!
Review: If you like A Hard Days Night you will love this movie. I thought it was the most funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. I love the 5 ways they try to get the ring of Ringo. This is a classic to add to the Beatles fame. I am only 14 and I love it even though I didn't grow up during the 60's.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Beatles' Best
Review: "Help!" is the best Beatles movie, excepting only "A Hard Day's Night." These movies have a lot in common, though "Help!" is much more humorous to those not terribly familiar with the Beatles. The plot is rather ludicrous, and can get a bit dull upon additional viewings, but the effects are consistently funny. The Beatles each entering separate doors to a common house, and calling each other from opposite ends of the room is one such detail. And Paul's adventure on the floor is also really good, as are the mad scientists, who seem very similar to Pinky and the Brain in purpose and personality. As in "A Hard Day's Night," there are also some hilarious quotes, such as George saying, "It's a thingy, a fiendish thingy!" It's one of those movies that will keep most people laughing all the way through, at least the first time around.
