Film 30 - Spinal Tap

Frequently named amongst the funniest films ever made, Spinal Tap is a mockumenty rockumentry and side-splittingly satirical masterpiece.

The humour comes mostly from the stupidity but genuine sincerity and belief in their own ability that the band have. The funniest moment may have to be Nigel Tufnel's touching piano piece which he provisionally entitles: Lick My Love Pump, or the moment their new album is shown to them "There's something about this that's so black, it's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black." or the films crowning moment, the amps which go up to eleven, which prompts the immortal line from Tufnel: "But these go up to eleven"

Just a complete classic.
