Watching the film That'll be the day at the moment, from 1973. It contains the best acting ever from any Beatle. Sir Ringo is so believable, recreating part of his pre-Beatle life as a holiday camp attendant.
I've seen it - thought I had the VHS or DVD. Might have it recorded off TV or my friend might have burned me a copy. Ringo is good in it!

On DC: Legends Of Tomorrow yesterday. To preface this, their spaceship has landed in a trash dump.
Nate says to Charlie (a female): Okay, I know you think free will is a bad, scary thing. So we did a little dumpster diving to give you some counterpoints. (he whips out The White Album) Two words: The Beatles! Alright, they taught an entire generation that even during war and tragedy we can still make beauty.
Charlie: Whilst also inspiring Charles Manson to commit some of the most brutal murders in history. Also, they let Ringo sing a song about an octopus!
Nate: Dammit!
Gary brings out a 45 record: Two words: Octopus's Garden!
