My favourite Beatles movie, definitely! 
An exaggerated "Day In the Life" of the Beatlemania era Beatles. The foursome travel from train to hotel to television studio with their road crew, while Paul's scheming grandfather stirs up trouble, and even temporarily convinces Ringo to leave his responsibilities behind to go off "paradin'."

Here are some memorable quotes from the movie:
Well if he's your grandfather, who knows! Ha ha ha!
I bet you're sorry you won.
It's his grandfather. I can tell he doesn't like me. It's cause I'm little.
Um, no. I'm a mocker.
There you go, hiding behind a smokescreen of bourgeois cliches.
Well, this one has. You know, it's stuck on good and proper now.
Give us a kiss.
Please sir, sir, can I have one to surge me sir, please sir?
Must have cost you a fortune in stamps Ringo.
Turned left at Greenland.
She looks more like him than I do.
Standin' about, eh? Some people have it dead easy.
Control yourself. You'll spurt.
You're just a lonely old man from Liverpool.
He comes from a large family.
Honestly! Me mind boggles at the very idea, a grown man and you haven't shaved with a safety razor.
Arthur.
He's very fussy about his drums, you know. They loom large in his legend.
Sorry we hurt your field mister.
Aye, but don't rush. None of your five bar gate jumps and over sort of stuff.
I don't know, I just thought that it sounded distinguished-like.
Don't be soft!
No, actually, we're just good friends.
Oh, that this too, to solid flesh would melt...Zap!
What little old man?
Get me a bottle of milk and some tranquilizers. I see it all now.... It's a plot... a plot.
We are on in twenty minutes.
I'm not taller than you. You're shorter than I am.
Well, he just asked if he could have those photos, and Norm said no and I said, "Well why don't you be big about it?"
John hasn't got any.
Shake, take that wig off! It suits you.
God knows what you've unleashed on the unsuspecting South. It'll be wine, women, and song all the way with Ringo when he gets the taste for it.
Stop being taller than me!
That's the trouble. I've toyed with the idea of a ball and chain. He'd probably just rattle them at me in public.
He's only a casual acquaintance.
I knew I could rely on you.
Oh the little head trembling under the weight of it all.
Fans are funny like that.
But I'm CLEAN!
