200 Motels is one of the truely *twisted* films I have seen.
It indeed does feature Ringo Starr, in yet another strange role in yet
another silly little film (a pattern that he continues to this day - check
'Caveman' out if you dare).

Start with Zappa (and the Mothers), throw in a cheezy set
for an imaginary midwestern town ('Centerville - A Nice Place to  Raise
Your Kids Up'), add a few miscealleous bizzaros, an almost non-existant
plot and the London (or Royal) Symphony Orchestra (playing Zappa
compositions) and you get one WEIRD film.

It is a great midnight show (or any other time, but late at night the
mental condition is more suitable) and has been shown at least 1/year
at the University here. 

If it comes around, SEE IT! - but be warned: This is a *not at all normal*
movie.  BTW, I love it and get Zapped every chance I get.
