"Certainly, in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful."

Rob Reiner's celebrated "rockumentary" This is Spinal Tap is an eccentric, innovative cinematic creation that justifiably generated its own individual genre. The film rapidly reached its cult classic status and is still held in extraordinarily high regard over 20 year... read more

For me, it was really one of those cases when you heard about the movie for years and you built up such high expectations. Did the movie live up to them ? No, not really. I mean, it is a good movie and it is definitely original, well done and all but honestly, I didn't think it was that hilarious. I smilled, yes but did I laugh my ass off ? No. To conclude, it is probably not my kind of humor but ... read more

" The Ups: Excellent "Mockumentary" that take all the things we love about rock and make it into a loving but fun homage to the genre. Great comedic timing. The Downs: That Spinal Tap actually has better hits than some of the other bands that I have on Spotify. "

"The material is consistently clever and funny, though ultimately the attitudes are too narrow to nourish a feature-length film. - Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader"

My 50 Favourite Films (updated 22/01/2013) (50 movies items)

" Having a huge liking of music and used to being in a band, This Is Spinal Tap speaks to me as both a cautionary tale and a nostalgic starter. What makes this mockumentary so funny is the brilliant and highly convincing acting and its satirical and near realistic take on the ups and downs of being in a band."
