Magical Mystery Tour

Plot: Plot? What plot? There was a plot to Magical Mystery Tour? Well, in all actuality, if one were to ask one of the Beatles, they'd tell you that the movie is about a type of bus trip that used to be very popular in Liverpool wherein a bunch of the townspeople would go out to the countryside and get smashingly drunk. If you look, you can see that as a sort of strained plot through the film, but for the most part it has no storyline.

Best Scene Of The Movie: That would have to be the "I Am The Walrus" sequence. It's just so weird and the way it starts, with Paul cueing Ringo, is priceless. The racing scene and Ringo's severe case of roadrage are funny, too.

Best One-Liner Of The Movie: "Where's the bus?" And I do believe it's Ringo-turned-Magician who says it. It's another one of those circumstances where the words aren't funny, but the delivery is.

Best Exchange Of The Movie: John and Little Nikola in the bus with the balloon. ("I've a surprise for you, do you know what it is?" "No" "Have a guess" "No!" "Have a guess" "no!" "Have a GUESS!" "No!" "Well you're going to get it anyway!") It's so cute, and when John giggles (he's mocking Nikola) it's just...well, if you're a John fan it's self-explanitory and if you aren't, you probably wouldn't understand.

Most Embarresing Scene In The Movie: The strip club scene. Enough said there.
