This Is Spinal Tap

Director Rob Reiner delivered a classic with his feature debut that gets better with time. A documentarian chronicles the rock band Spinal Tap as they prepare for a fateful tour. An hilarious and outstanding mockumentary that hits the nail on every aspect of Heavy Metal bands with terrific writing and pitch perfect performances that has to be seen to be believed. Reiner wrote the screenplay with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer who all appear as the members of Spinal Tap while Reiner appropriately is the documentarian. There's plenty of cameos that are part of the pleasure of discovering. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
