They had some talent when it came to the visual arts though too. Not only did they found Apple Records, but they also owned Apple Films.
This company released popular Beatles films "A Hard Day's Night," "Let it Be," "Yellow Submarine," and "Magical Mystery Tour" among others.
In the 1960s, they got a little more ambitious. John Lennon, especially, was a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's hit trilogy "Lord of the Rings."
At the time, Tolkien still owned the rights to the movie, and the Beatles approached him about making the movie. John was to play the creature Gollum while George was to be the wizard Gandalf. And Ringo was to play Frodo's hobbit sidekick, Sam.
It isn't clear what role Paul would play. In the end, Tolkien denied the Beatle's access to the film rights, and as we know, director Peter Jackson went on to make three epic films out of the trilogy.
