This is Spinal Tap
Special Edition


Offbeat rock-'n-roll "mockumentary" about hapless British metal group bumbling its way through their U.S. tour. Considered a cult classic, This Is Spinal Tap tells the traces the steady demise of an aging English heavymetal band whose hits include "Sex Farm Woman" and "Big Bottom". This comedy records the group's in fighting, humiliations, and their music sessions. Rob Reiner's directorial debut was largely improvised. Starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Reiner, the film includes many cameo appearances.

Selected for the Library of Congress National Film Registry of American Film.
