This is probably my favorite Beatles movie of all, and by far the trippiest. Again, there really isn't much of a plot to this movie, which is quite understandable, looking when the idea first came to mind.
 
The movie was released in 1967, pretty much in the middle of the Beatles' LSD phase. And it shows.

The movie starts out with Ringo and his crabby aunt heading to the bus stop to begin a trip that they will remember for the rest of their lives: the Magical Mystery Tour!
 
Basically, you just follow the tour to a few of its random stops (the movie was largely edited), each of them probably stranger than the last. There are four wizards (Can you guess who plays them?) that are sort of watching the bus, to see where it's going. I'm assuming they are the ones behind all the "magic".
 
Even if you don't follow the movie very well, it's still great to see for all the songs. This is one of the Beatles' best albums, and the videos that go along with them are just breathtaking.
