Why we chose it

Rob Reiner reinvented the mockumentary with this cult music comedy, a wildly funny record of the concert tour of a band that never existed. And only here will you find a guitarist whose amp has a dial that goes all the way up to eleven.

Synopsis

In 1982 a film crew follows a British heavy metal band on its tour of the States. Spinal Tap are playing ever smaller venues as ticket sales dry up, and the Stonehenge monument they ordered for the stage turns up in miniature. Things are going badly with their manager, and between the musicians they’re even worse.
