If you aren't aware This is Spinal Tap is a parody band documentary. It's pretty good.

After that we will watch Caddyshack. That or Edge of Tomorrow. It depends on how you vote.

See you all there: https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub

I wonder if the sequel is going to be any good?

Isn't it considered the first "Mockmentary"?

I just acquired a copy last week!

In the mid 70s Eric Idle (from Monty Python) had a Beatles parody band called The Rutles, and created a television mockumentary in 1978 called 'All You Need is Cash', and this was probably a pretty big influence on Spinal Tap in the early 80s.

Check out "Bad News" if you like The Young Ones. They did a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody that is quite...interesting

Such a great subtle comedy. It's in your face but somehow just passing by like a fly at high speed.

The two next options in the Movie Night are great too. Edge of Tomorrow is great when you think about the revised movie name.
