 Too Much!Oct 20, 2009
I love The Beatles. I really do. But to end up paying about 150 including shipping for this box sex is a little insane. It's a fantastic box set, and worth a decent amount of money. But Amazon, you should lower your price so the lesser financially able Beatles fans such as myself dont have to go out of their way to buy this like I did.
 HELP (Deluxe Edition)Oct 19, 2009
Very pleased with the purchase. Delivered in excellent condition and within 5-7 days. Would purchase another product.
The perfect gift for any Beatles fan!!!Oct 14, 2009
This package is amazing. I love everything in it. The lobby cards and poster, the book with pictures on set, and also the script copy complete with notes and editing. I would definitely recommend looking at the seller listings to find it cheaper...but this is a great gift for any Beatles fan.
It was just that we had a lot of fun, a lot of fun in those days-Ringo StarrSep 23, 2009
When it comes to Sid, the only thing that explains our heritage better then Death Ring would be the Beatles. Looking back to the start of 94 are some of the fondest memories in Sid's history. Those days of cruising in Santa's giant gold Oldsmobile singing along to some early Beatles, anything prior to Revolver at the time, were some of the greatest times that have ever taken place. Even though we have a very vast catalog of music favorites the Beatles just seem to take us back to those glory days we can't help but relive in our minds. Which brings us to our feature of the evening.
We're not going to go too far into the synopsis since most are very familiar with the film. However if you're not here it is, Ringo has a giant Ruby ring that is needed as part of an Eastern cult's sacrifice. So they discover the drummer of the Beatles has the ring and set off to England to get it back. Only problem is Ringo can't seem to remove the ring which leads to plenty of laughs thanks to a cast of very stoned Beatles. Sure the film is goofy, as one reviewing said, but that is what the Beatles humor was at the time. It was the 1965, what kind of humor were you expecting? No matter what it's a 5 star film with some great laughs and even greater music. It's the perfect blend to keep the Thursday version of Sid's focus in tact.
Naturally Help comes with a huge recommendation from us for any Beatles fan out there. Even if you didn't live during the time when the film was released, it's still a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by the right viewer. Sid happens to have an old soul and lives for this kind of stuff. Also now knowing The Beatles were stoned out of their mind's throughout the entire film just adds an extra amount of enjoyment. It hardly possible to leave the couch stoned let alone film an entire movie with music included. So we close with this memory from Ringo, "A hell of a lot of pot was being smoked while we were making the film. It was great. Very little would get done after lunch. In the afternoon we very seldom got past the first line of the script."
 One word: ExcellentSep 20, 2009
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of "Help!" in 2007, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had an exhibit devoted to the movie. The exhibit contained such things as props, copies of shooting schedules, and audio of radio advertisements. At the end of the exhibit was a small theater which ran the movie continuously. It is there that I saw part of "Help!" for the first time....and I was hooked immediately. Not too long thereafter I saw the movie in it's entirety and kept asking myself why I had not seen the movie sooner. Other reviews have pointed out the fact that The Beatles are not the best actors in the world. While that is true, their very strong presence on the screen (and the fact that they clearly seem to be enjoying themselves from start to finish) more than makes up for that in my opinion. "Help!" is just plain fun to watch. From the excellent music (as well as the accompanying "videos") to the hysterical villains, to Eleanor Bron's great performance, there is a lot to like. Definitely take the time to see this great movie. You won't be disappointed. KALEE!!!
