Man! That is the best movie I have ever seen! I got it at the mall yesterday and I've seen it 2 time sense I got it home. PAUL IS IN A GUM WRAPPER!!!! *giggles* Ringo is so cute in the movie! I cried when Geo sang....I screamed when ever I saw Paul in that TIGHT black t-shirt and TIGHT blue jeans. *drools* Me Fav. "" from the movie was

~"So it was you buzzin! You naughty boy!"

*giggles* and I liked the intermission. That was cute. I liked their house. And the part where Ringo jumps back on the sled in the Alps! It was all so cute!!

What was your favorite part of the movie?

Gosh, I love this movie so much it's hard to pick one scene.

I love the part where Clang says "Oh my goodness Gosh, withdraw"

I love the fight scene and the intermission

But I think one of my most favorite parts is when Ringo is playing with that piece of snow shaped like a head. And he acts all cutsy playful for a second and then he smashes it to pieces.

Yeah I've had nonbeatlefan people watch this movie and really like it too.

I've thought of another great part(I can't believe I overlooked it) I love the scene when they're in Buckingham palace and it's just the four of them playing cards and trying to convince Ringo to cut off his finger. I think that is possibly my most favorite scene from any movie.

I love ALL of it. If I had to choose I'd say either the fight scene (where Paul's in his gumwrapper and you can see his bum when he falls out of the pantleg) or when they're in the bahamas.

John: only me and Paul know we're here.
George: I know we're here.

And the best song clip has to be the one for 'you've got to hide your love away' I want to just hug George, he's trying to impress the eastern bird and all Paul has to do is wink. And, I think John is at his most adorable in that movie.

Harrison, I'm so glad you've discovered what a fun, fabulous film "HELP!" is! It's impossible for me to choose just one favorite part, so here are a few that I love:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>The first time I saw "HELP!" (I was 8), I was absolutely floored by the washroom scene, where their sleeves and shirts get torn off! I think I rewound that at least 5 times before I could continue I thought it was just the funniest thing I'd ever seen.(Give me a break, I was 8!) http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/teeth1.gif
<LI>The fight scene, especially when George starts choking John by accident. "It's me, you fool!"
<LI>During YGTHYLA, when George tries to get Ahme's attention. I love the part where he sings "HEY!" and she jumps! I love how Eleanor Bron keeps giving him those looks, as if she's trying to humor him.
<LI>The gratuitous butt shot of Paul as he climbs into the tank. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/eyebrows.gif
[/list]

I remember that! I always thought that snow creature Ringo's holding looked like Woodstock from "Peanuts." http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/blush1.gif There are so many great little moments in the musical sequences.

I used to...wait who am I kidding, I still make the little snow creature like Ringo's when it snows and act out the scene. Usually I'm alone but once I was with a friend from work when I did it and she just laughed histerically.

I could safely say this is my favorite movie ever, but when you're with nonbeatley friends it's easier to discuss Monty Python and the Holy Grail, because they're familiar with it.

Another great little part is when John talks to Clangs mother.

I love this movie!

I've always wanted to have my bed to be a pit just like John's! Or how about the phone call at midnight? When I was little, I couldn't believe all those numbers he had to dial. It was only recently that I figured out that England has lots of digits in their phone numbers.

Or how about when they're all leaving their townhouse, and Clang goes up to them and talks to John, to which he replies:
"No thanks, I'm rhythym guitar, mouth organ." http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/laugh2.gif

Oh, EasternBird, I loved the part in the men's room when I was little, too! I thought it was the funniest thing on Earth! My brother and I would be in hysterics every time we watched it.

Or how about the "Go to the window" part? Classic.

I also loved Ringo's little snow creature. I always tried to make one, but couldn't.

Or what about the part where Clang gets a medal for winning the skiing contest, and you see The Beatles playing instruments, and George is eating his cymbals?

I could go on and on. This movie is just so chock full of good parts, you can't pick just one!

I'm watching Help right now (yes I managed to pull my eyes off the tv screen) and it's at the part where Clang believes he's beaten the Beatles. It reminded me of another thing I love: When Clang says Capture it sounds like kapker.

It's a totally silly movie, but they all look so damn cute and the music is so fantastic that it really doesn't matter that the script is silly.

A bunch of us thought of getting Clang T-shirts made up for Beatlefest one year, but we never got around to doing it. That would have been a hoot!

I accidently quoted this movie yesterday when I was in the company of nonbeatley people.

I was having a water gun fight and was quite soaked, on top of that I had to reach down into the water to fill up the gun and when I pulled my hands out I kind of chuckled to myself and said "My skins soaked right through to the skin!" voice inflections and all. My friends that were around me all stopped and looked at me oddly. I mumbled "It's from a movie" and they all shrugged and went on with what they were doing. Oh well, eventually I'll have a non internet friend to laugh with me if that happens again.

http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/laugh2.gif I've done that, too!

And BBJF, I love the cymbal-eating part too! It's so completely off-the-wall. I think it's tough to choose just one "favorite part" because there's so many great little lines and moments scattered throughout the film.

And how freaky is that scene where they're in the airport, disguised with the long beards? I read one review that described it as "a cameo appearance by the 1969 Beatles." http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/laugh1.gif

I loved the cymbal eating scene. It goes to show that George can be a funny scene stealer without saying a word.(Just like in the jewelery store when he's shoplifting.

The airport scene was eerie also. It was really a glimpse into their future.

That's sort of freaky but I sort of find it funny.

Eastern, what you had said about the "fiendish thingie" usage, I use that one all the time when I don't like something. For instance, a jar that won't open is a fiendish thingie. I also quite often describe the people in my school by this phrase "They all look the same in their similitude and language".

One thing I noticed while watching Help today, was that during "You've got to Hide Your Love Away" John is at one point pushing Ringo's head with his foot making Ringos had bop in time with the music. I thought it was funny.

and the part in the apartment with the little miss understanding:

gh: no, as long as you don't swallow it

lastly (though i would love to recite the whole movie!) i love the begining and the ending ( and everything in between) where klang shoots these darts and the title and credits appear, and the dedication to the sewing machine dude and the mad singing and whistling...the enda (cough cough er)! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/heart2.gifhttp://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/heart2.gifhttp://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/heart2.gif
