Ahh, Bapu! You obviously missed the subtle sub-textual lyrical content.
Those of us in the intelligentia understand that the lyrics and music reflected the dystopian universe surrounding the fab four. They were immersed in their own undersea kingdom where they dwelt like aquarian dimorphs failing to understand the world outside their own bubble.
 
There again I could be writing b*ll*x

32 Short Films about Glenn Gould
200 Motels
Aguirre the Wrath of God (Werner Herzog-Klaus Kinski)
Allegro Non Troppo (Italian Fantasia and better!)
All the Mornings of the World (Tous les matins du monde)

Basquiat
Bedazzled (the original!)

Bitter Sugar
Burnt by the Sun (Oscar Winner)
Camille Claudel 
Carmen (Carlos Saura's)
Castaway (the original from Lucy Irvine's novel with Oliver Reed and Amanda Donohoe)
Chimes at Midnight (Falstaff from Shakespeare's many plays! Academics hate this!)
Cinema Paradiso
Henry and June (About Henry Miller and his wife)
High Heels
Il Postino
Impromptu 
Intervista (the opening is worth the price of admission!)
Jesus of Montreal
Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring (Massive pair of films must be seen in order!)
Journey of Hope (Oscar Winner)

Performance
Prospero's Books

The Misteries of Rampo
The Devils (Ken Russell)

 This should keep everyone ... lost for a while!


TL;DR

No love for Yellow Submarine?


Worst Beatles song EVAH!!!!!!
 
Probably the ONLY bad song The Lads ever made.




Wha???!  No love for poor Ringo???  
 




When I was but just a wee pubescent lad (maybe 12 or 13) one of my first attempts at lyrical composition included a spoof on Yellow Submarine called Flesh Toned Testicle ... you can hear it now, We all live in a ...
 
 
Not quite sure why I am sharing that.

Aguirre the Wrath of God (Werner Herzog-Klaus Kinski)



Fantastic film, nearly as bonkers as Kinski's off-camera behaviour during the shooting.
 
Sticking to a nautical if not entirely submerged theme: 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (great cast incl. Kirk Douglas and James Mason), Moana, Fitzcarraldo
 


 
Along those lines, I loved Fantastic Voyage when I was little.  The theme has been used many times and in a nautical context ... notable in SpongeBob SquarePants (when SpongeBob and Patrick take Sandy's submarine into Squidward, hilarity ensues).

Well, at least it was "Flesh Toned."

Heavily copied in Futurama too, the Parasites Lost episode :-)
