THIS IS SPINAL TAP

“These go to 11.” Rob Reiner’s feature directorial debut is an uproarious spoof of heavy metal music, artistic vanity, lower-rung celebrity and music docs themselves, and it launched co-creators Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer into their careers as mockumentarians (and sometime musicians). THIS IS SPINAL TAP is one of the funniest films ever made, a stalwart of the midnight movie and college circuits through the 1980s and ‘90s, and one with far-reaching influence on the comedy landscape. DIR/SCR Rob Reiner; SCR Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer; PROD Karen Murphy. U.S., 1984, color, 82 min. RATED R
