1	A Hard Day's Night (2000) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Wilfrid Brambell During the first worldwide flush of Beatlemania in 1964, United Artists wanted to ship out a movie with The Beatles before their vogue was over. Working within a tight $500,000 budget, director Richard Lester turned out A Hard Day's Night in a fast 6 1/2 weeks; the picture was in the theatres three months after shooting commenced. Using a variety ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
2	A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton, Jack Gilford, Michael Crawford Director Richard Lester uses the Burt Shevelove/Larry Gelbart/Stephen Sondheim Broadway musical hit as a launching pad for some of his wildest slapstick gaggery. Zero Mostel repeats his stage role as Pseudolus, the cunning Roman slave who'll do anything to win his freedom. The plot hinges on three Roman houses next door to each another. One is the ... see all copies from $2.16! new only from $10.85!
3	Help! (1965) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring The Beatles, Leo McKern In their second feature with director Richard Lester, who oversaw the massive hit A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles again aim for a mix of goofy comedy and sterling pop music. There is slightly more of a plot this time, though it is a patently ridiculous one: a sacred ruby ring comes into Ringo's possession, attracting the unwelcome attention of an ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.10!
4	Superman II (1980) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Ned Beatty, Jackie Cooper, Terence Stamp Between giving up his super powers, confronting criminals from outer space, and having problems with his girlfriend, it's a bad time to be the Man of Steel in this sequel to the 1978 blockbuster. When terrorists threaten to destroy Paris with a thermonuclear device as they hold reporter Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) hostage, Superman (Christopher ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.18!
5	The Ritz (1976) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Jack Weston, Rita Moreno, Jerry Stiller, Kaye Ballard, F. Murray Abraham With The Ritz, Terrence McNally's hit Broadway play of the same name is cinematized by director Richard Lester. Jack Weston plays Gaetano Proclo, a minor mob flunky who's been targeted for elimination by his brother-in-law, Carmine Vespucci (Jerry Stiller). Gaetano takes refuge in what he thinks is a Turkish bath. Actually, it's The Pits. That's ... see all copies from $9.94! new only from $15.05!
6	The Three Musketeers (1973) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Oliver Reed, Charlton Heston, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay, Michael York Richard Lester's adaptation of The Three Musketeers was only the latest of many when released in 1974, but it arrived with a spirit all its own, one influenced as much by Lester's '60s work as the Alexandre Dumas classic. Even so, it followed the plot of Dumas' novel fairly closely, its liberties in interpretation taken elsewhere. Coming off the ... see all copies from $3.72! new only from $7.99!
7	The Return of the Musketeers (1989) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay, C. Thomas Howell, Richard Chamberlain, Kim Cattrall Richard Lester returned to his double-barreled successes of the 1970s, The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers, with Return of the Musketeers, a film that was inexplicably shelved for several years, making its belated premiere on cable television. Based on Alexandre Dumas's novel Twenty Years Later, the film takes place (appropriately enough) ... see all copies from $12.00!
8	Robin and Marian (1976) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn, Robert Shaw, Richard Harris, Nicol Williamson Though the story told in Robin and Marian is unfamiliar to most audiences, it is actually quite faithful to several of the ancient Robin Hood legends. During the Crusades, Robin (Sean Connery) is still loyal to King Richard the Lionheart (Richard Harris), but even he has trouble adjusting to the monarch's ever-increasing paranoia and lunacy. After ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $15.74!
9	Royal Flash (1975) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Malcolm McDowell, Alan Bates, Florinda Bolkan, Oliver Reed, Britt Ekland Novelist George MacDonald Fraser penned the script for this swashbuckling, picaresque adventure tale. The story is based on one of the books in his "Harry Flashman" series, loose sequels to "Tom Brown's Schooldays" that followed that story's central bully character through his checkered post-graduate military career. Malcolm McDowell plays Captain ... see all copies from $15.67! new only from $15.67!
10	Petulia (1968) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Julie Christie, George C. Scott, Richard Chamberlain, Arthur Hill, Shirley Knight Petulia is Richard Lester's ode to the Swinging Sixties: a time of psychedelic instability when neither those who were square, nor those who were hip, really had it right. George C. Scott is Archie Bollen, a divorced San Francisco doctor in the midst of "discovering himself." Julie Christie is Petulia Danner, a peculiar young beauty recently ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.80!

14 view cover	Juggernaut (1974) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Richard Harris, Omar Sharif, David Hemmings, Anthony Hopkins, Shirley Knight Following his successful foray into swashbuckler comedy with The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers, director Richard Lester made what has proved to be one of the few quality films from the disaster craze that dominated filmmaking in the mid-'70s. Juggernaut is the pseudonym of a madman (Freddie Jones) who plants several steel drums aboard a ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $6.99!
15 view cover	Superman III (1983) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Christopher Reeve, Richard Pryor, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Annette O'Toole, Annie Ross In a major departure from the tone of the preceding two Superman adventure films, this mix of vile deeds and fantasy heroics drops the "S" out of cosmic and goes for comic instead. Right at the starting gate, Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) and a subsequent slapstick sequence upstage (Christopher Reeves again), who later develops an identity crisis. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.90!

In adapting Patrick Ryan's 1963 novel, screenwriter Charles Wood and director Richard Lester offered a narrative fractured by characters making side comments to the camera, ... see all copies from $10.58! new only from $80.49!

The Prime Minister of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick (Ron Moody) is in a bind because he has no money to renovate his castle and there is a serious problem with his small country's main export, wine. ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $6.99!
18 view cover	Paul McCartney: Get Back (1991) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Paul McCartney Richard Lester, who directed A Hard Day's Night and Help!, was the man behind the cameras for this documentary look at Paul McCartney's 1989-1990 world tour.

20	Finders Keepers (1984) more movies like this directed by Richard Lester featuring Michael O'Keefe, Beverly D'Angelo, Louis Gossett, Jr., Ed Lauter, David Wayne In this slapstick chase-adventure, some unlikely heroes try to outwit each other for possession of a huge stash of cash hidden on the train they are all riding together. The comedy is a little uneven here or at least not to everyone's taste, and the pace is fast-forward frantic. Josef (Ed Lauter) and Georgiana (Pamela Stephenson) manage to break ... see all copies from $9.88!
