Help! (1965)
9/10
A Wonderful Film

This is no ordinary comedy. Not only does it star The Beatles (who I suspect may be considered the greatest band in all time and space, and in all the universe), the humour is also lovely and original; at most, not much sexual or toilet humour! It is about Ringo, who, before the plot of this film, is sent a ring (perhaps this film should have been called 'Ringo and his Sacrifical Ring') and decides to wear it. Then, quite a few failed attempts are made to get the ring off Ringo's finger (including a scene where the torso of George's shirt is sucked up, revealing a sexy chest and abs -- very nice!). Then they discover: The ring was sent to him by a 'lady' who, had she kept the ring on, would have been killed. If Ringo keeps the ring on for too long, that he will be killed. Ringo can't get the ring off his finger, so he leaves it on for, sadly, too long. He and his friends travel around the world (well, the Swiss Alps and the Bahamas)... This, in my opinion, is a wonderful film that I loved very much. I'm saddened that this film has a rating of only 7.0 out of 10 on this website. I recommend this film to children, Beatlemaniacs (yes, I'm one) and people who like a good joke but may not like toilet humour. Why not watch it?
