One of the best

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2014)

I watched this back in '84 and decided to watch it again last night.It's still just as funny because it's a parody of human nature and you don't need special effects or iphones to make it work in today's culture. The biting satire and the "hauteur" quality that Rob Reiner gives to the Spinal Tap mockumentary is right on the money. What, with this and The Rutles, you've got the entire music industry of the time speared like a fish.( it's probably still the same!) I love the way they were changed from flower people to heavy metal and I love how inept the Manager is... pure genius. Could they ever do one like this for Britney Spears or Kanye West or are we just seeing that played out in real life? I wish there were movies of this quality out today instead of trash like Anchorman2 or The Big Wedding but I guess most of the talented writers and directors have moved on to Cable TV. Spinal Tap and The Rutles .. now there's a two pack for a night in front of the TV. Enjoy
