Ringo Starr

The Beatle who became as much an actor as musician in later years, starring in movies like The Magic Christian and Caveman.


Magical Mystery Tour (1967) -- Directed with George Harrison, Bernard Knowles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  The Beatles' third film was a made-for-TV movie directed by the Beatles themselves, running at around an hour.  Where A Hard Day's Night was brilliant and Help! at least had some goofy fun, this one is a whole lotta dismal with the occasional brightness that makes it worth watching.  The songs, as always, are great, and the "music video" segments work the best.
