This Is Spinal Tap - Rob Reiner - 1984



This Is Spinal Tap is a film I'm recommending solely on the fact that it is so damn funny. It is not a film that has great examples of Mis En Scen or Montage editing. But what it does have is some of the funniest comedy set pieces you will ever find.

The film is a mockumentary about Spinal Tap, a failing metal band who runs into every type of setback as they desperately to cling on to whatever fame they had with a tour and a new album. The problems that the band encounter are funny in their own right, but are highlighted by the pure stupidity in the way that the characters handle them.

The dialogue in the film is funny, crisp, and unique with great comedic timing that keeps you laughing throughout the film.

This Is Spinal Tap is a classic in it's mockumentary sub genre and should be seen by all.
