Those and countless other quotes from the 1984 \u201cmockumentary\u201d This is Spinal Tap<\/b><\/i> have long since entered popular culture. The misadventures of Britain\u2019s Loudest Band\u2122 were chronicled by director Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) in the uproarious cult classic. The fictitious heavy metal group featured Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer). The hapless musicians endure countless hilarious misadventures in the classic film. This is Spinal Tap<\/b><\/i> was a critical smash and an extremely influential motion picture. A sequel is set for release next year.<\/p>\n
Sure, interested parties can view This is Spinal Tap<\/b><\/em> at home. But some movies were designed to be enjoyed as part of an engaged audience. And this film is most definitely one of those. And the film has been out of theatrical circulation for years, so opportunities are few. Described as \u201cculturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\u201d by the Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. But the main thing is that it\u2019s really, really<\/i> funny and on-target.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss this fun and rare opportunity.
