There have been Beatle movies before, of course. Backbeat is a pretty good one covering the Fab Four (then five) during their Hamburg days. There was a VH1 movie a few years ago called Two of Us , about the relationship between Lennon and McCartney after John moved to New York in the 1970s. Nowhere Boy was recently nominated for some British Independent Film Awards , and it's a look at the troubled...
