Spinal Tap

This is Spinal Tap
1984
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Rob Reiner

A fan and film-maker, Marti DeBergi (Reiner), decides to follow the British rock band Spinal Tap through their America comeback tour. The resulting documentary gives us a glimpse into the rock and roll lifestyle. We get insight into the profound lyrics and the innerworkings of the group.

This movie is the greatest rock and roll mockumentary ever created. The satire provides behind-the-scene glimpses and a look into the greatest fake band ever to take the stage. From the 18-inch stonehenge to the amp turned up to 11, you won't be able to stop laughing at any of the situations the band gets into. If you like '80s roack and roll you will love all the references to the lifestyle.
