How Many Beatles Movies Are There & Which Ones Can You Watch Online?

The first Beatles flick, «A Hard Day’s Night,» was made during the height of Beatlemania. The Richard Lester film, which provided a fictional account of the Fab Foursome, was nominated for two Academy Awards. Today, it is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video. Fans who need a little help finding the band’s second film — «Help!» — will be happy to find that it can be viewed via the TV app Stingray Karaoke, which offers a free trial. «Magical Mystery Tour» took viewers on an aimless journey back in the day, but in 2023, it’s easy to find on Apple TV+. As for the animated fantasy «Yellow Submarine,» it is available for viewing in some locations via Amazon Prime Video. 

The final Beatles film, «Let It Be,» is the hardest to find. The Michael Lindsay-Hogg documentary has been out of print since the 1980s home video days. In a 2021 interview with Rolling Stone, Lindsay-Hogg said he still had hope that «Let It Be» would see the light of day for a new generation. At the time, he told the outlet there were even hopes to give the film a limited theatrical release. «I know that [Quentin] Tarantino’s theater in Hollywood, the New Beverly, wanted to show it as a film,» he said. «It’s in everybody’s best interest to put out ‘Let it Be’ again.»
