This Is Spinal Tap https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c8/Thisisspinaltapposter.jpg Dir: Rob Reiner Genre: Comedy, Mockumentary Year: 1984 I'm not sure if this was the first mockumentary to ever have a mainstream release, but it's certainly the most important and likely still the best. Spinal Tap is like the prime episodes of The Simpsons where there are about a dozen jokes buried in every minute of the film. Many have penetrated the American ethos, but the amazing thing about this movie is that you can rewatch it now and find new hysterical moments each time. Even though the hair metal zeitgeist has long passed, Spinal Tap is still relevant to this day because it could really be about any vapid group of people who rise to fame at a young age. I would love for this style of movie to be released about a mumble rapper, a pop group, or any of the celebrities of this age now and still have the same kind of balls they had when they made this 35 years ago. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
