Okay, I got rid of the bit about AHDN... -_-

Ahaha, well there aren't any in Let it Be at least.

In "A Hard Day's Night," there's a lower-key instrumental version of "A Hard Day's Night."

Oh yeah, I forgot about This Boy. Now I feel stupid... Ahahaha

I don't remember Think for Yourself being in it, but I haven't seen the movie in a while. I'll have to watch it again

Not in a Beatles movie, but I think a cover version of I'm Looking Through You was used in Ghost Town.

There was a cover of that song on The Muppet Show, where ghosts sang it.

There wouldn't be any in A Hard Day's Night or Let it Be (for obvious reasons), but I've noticed some in the others.

Can anyone think of any others?

There actually was one in A Hard Day's Night called "This Boy (Ringo's Theme)", which has become my favorite instrumental of a Beatles song because of it. ...

Spot on! It is the original. My mistake.

I think A Hard Day's Night was in part of The Very Famous Plan background music.

Okay, bad title aside…

As I'm sure most of you have noticed, in Beatles movies, their songs are used as background music, but in a different style, e.g. orchestral.

There wouldn't be any in Let it Be (for obvious reasons), but I've noticed some in the others.

She Loves You and All My Loving were in MMT, as circus music and orchestral music respectively.

A Hard Day's Night was in the restaurant scene in Help!, as well.

Can anyone think of any others?
