This Is Spinal Tap

Directed by Rob Reiner

Mockumentary, Parody Film, Satire - Rated R - 82 Minutes - 1984

The film satirizes the behavior and musical pretensions of rock bands and the perceived hagiographic tendencies of rock documentaries such as The Song Remains the Same (1976) and The Last Waltz (1978), and follows the similar All You Need Is Cash (1978) by the Rutles. Most of its dialogue was improvised and dozens of hours were filmed.
