..........Please read the posting below Your's Sister Jean, the other 3 movies were not authorized officially by The Beatles, so the answer is correct, only 2, A Hard Day's Night and Help!...............
The Beatles made two movies, A Hard Day's Night in 1964 and Help! in 1965, both starring well-known English actors, and neither of which were award-winning cinematic classics, but pleasantly enjoyable comedies. United Artists signed the Beatles to a three-picture deal, mostly because they were interested in selling a soundtrack album for the first one.
Not long after, there was also a series of short TV cartoons featuring the adventures of the animated Beatles and their music. These were produced by King Features Syndicate, but the band themselves had no involvement with them.
In a period of self-indulgence, the Beatles themselves produced Magical Mystery Tour in 1967, a fairly lacklustre TV-movie about a supposedly enchanted bus trip, again featuring a handful of well-known English actors and songs from their EP of the same name.
In 1968, the producers of the Beatles cartoons made Yellow Submarine, a feature-length cartoon movie that the animated Beatles liberating Pepperland from the evil clutches of the "Blue Meanies". It also had little Beatle involvement, but it had their blessing because it finished their movie deal for them.
Let It Be was originally planned as a 1969 television special called Get Back, with sessions for a new ...
The technically correct answer is TWO!

Let It Be was originally planned as a 1969 television special called Get Back, with sessions for a new album filmed as the songs were rehearsed and recorded. It turned into a debacle, with infighting between the Beatles, and was shelved for months. Their accountants finally told them they spent too much money to just "let it be", and a movie release would pay back the costs more effectively. Since "Get Back" had already appeared as a single, the project was retitled, and since widescreen movies were now the thing, the footage was re-edited. The movie appeared in the spring of 1970.
So in conclusion, the Beatles themselves only made TWO movies. The rest were done by people other than the Beatles using their songs.
I never count the yellow submarine since the Beatle were not in it. It is just a prop made for the music. Can you tell me what other famous cartoon the animator for the yellow submarine is known for.
A Hard Day's Night
Help!
Magical Mystery Tour (Actually a TV Special in the UK)
Yellow Submarine (They approved of it, and did a cameo at the end)
Let it Be (Documentary film)
5 total (not counting a couple clip appearances in some British package films with other groups)
4, if you count only theater features, and throw out MMT (TV special)
3, if you throw out YS which they only approved of and provided music and a cameo for.

1. Hard Days Night
2. Help
3. Yellow Submarine
4. Come Together
Missed it by that much.
I will see if any one know they name of the play write or the play that was to be the 3rd movie. It was all scrapped after Brian died.
