“Time Bandits” (1981): George Harrison became a movie producer of note, one of his most successful ventures being this Terry Gilliam-directed fantasy about a youngster (played by Craig Warnock) who defies time and space to travel to various eras ... often accompanied by dwarves.

“Live and Let Die” (1973): McCartney joined the ranks of James Bond theme-song composers as he and spouse Linda devised the title tune (which they performed with Wings, resulting in one of the group’s biggest hits) for Roger Moore’s debut as Agent 007.

“Let It Be” (1970): An Oscar winner for its score, this documentary about the making of The Beatles’ same-titled album was the foursome’s final tandem screen project – just as the LP was their last studio release.
