This Is Spinal Tap -- Mock rockumentary about a Heavy Metal band on the verge of spontaneous combustion

A group of student rebels take over a Columbia University campus administration building in an effort to fight the establishment. An unusual look at the campus riots of the 60s. Starring Bud Cort ("Harold and Maude," "Heat"), Oscar and Emmy-nominee Bruce Davison ("Longtime Companion"), Oscar-nominee and Emmy-winner James Coco ("Murder by Death"), Bob Balaban (TV's "Seinfeld"), David Dukes ("And the Band Played On") and Kim Darby ("True Grit"). Soundtrack includes songs performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and John Lennon.

Filled with sweet-natured comedy and supernatural appeal, Teen Witch will work its magic on you! Louise (Lively) is a shy misfit with a huge crush on and no chance of dating Brad (Gauthier), the hunky star of the high school football team. And when Louise discovers on her 16th birthday that she's descended from Salem witches, she uses her newfound powers to become the most popular girl on campus! But when sparks fly between her and Brad, how can she be sure it's true love and that he's not simply spellbound?

“Such a fine line between stupid and clever.” “None more black.” “This one goes to 11.” Audiences didn’t quite know what to make of This is Spinal Tap when it first hit movie theaters in 1984. Was it a comedy, or a real-life documentary about a British heavy metal band on a disastrous comeback tour? Actually, it was something else entirely and the first of its kind: the “mockumentary.” Rob Reiner's directorial debut is the story of Spinal Tap, an aging group of rockers with one last shot at fame and glory. Called “the funniest movie ever made about rock and roll” (Newsweek) and ranked #1 on Entertainment Weekly’s “Top 50 Cult Films of All-Time,” it’s the comedy phenomenon that will rock your socks off.
