This movie's funniest moments find Jack “debuting” tunes such as “Let It Be” — or, as a well-meaning listener mistakenly calls it, “Leave It Be” — and “Hey Jude,” which Ed Sheeran, playing himself, persuades him to change to “Hey Dude."
Suddenly, he's trying to remember the words to "Eleanor Rigby" and "Let it Be".
And would such ’60s songs as “Let It Be” and “Hey Jude,” detached from the social revolution of which they were a part, have the same impact in a 2019 universe where hip-hop exists but The Beatles do not?

The jerking-off debate between Hank and Manny — yes, the corpse talks when the occasion arises — would remind you of Samuel Beckett if the mind of the author of Waiting for Godot found itself in the craniums of Daniels.
Clearly enjoying chemistry together, they would make a great Vladimir and Estragon for a revival of Waiting for Godot.
The film revels in its weird comic absurdity, never as existential or nihilistic as more high-brow fare such as “Waiting for Godot,” but it does feel freely mined from the cranium of Michael Gondry (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”) had he been locked in solitary with nothing but a stack of Mad magazines to pass the day.
The Platform (2019)
Directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia
influenced by Waiting for Godot (2001)
Themes
Massagué and Eguileor are up to being in a zesty “Waiting for Godot.”
Initially, the film unfolds like a two-man play, somewhere between the aimless comedic circles of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot , and the helpless hell-is-other-people hostility of Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit .
Boiled down to its simplest elements, THE LIGHTHOUSE is a mash-up of the cold existentialism of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot, the drunken savagery of Ted Kotcheff’s 1971 film WAKE IN FRIGHT, and a large scoop of Jungian archetypal imagery pertaining to recurring myths.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)
Directed by Joel Coen
influenced by Waiting for Godot (2001)
Visuals
Neeson’s character wears a bowler hat and looks as if he could have walked out of a production of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot .
Loving the alien isn’t hard here; deft needle-drops like The Beatles’s bitter-sweet Two of Us from Let It Be help instil the right kind of sentimental attachment.
