This is Spinal Tap

Film Release Date: March 2, 1984
Episode Air Date: May 3, 2015

A groundbreaking "mockumentary" about a fictional rock band, this film was Rob Reiner's directorial debut for the big screen, and led to a slew of movies shortly thereafter that became instant classics. Also, This is Spinal Tap gave birth to a whole new genre, and (probably) served as the inspiration for Sir Mix-A-Lot's classic song, "Baby Got Back!" Don't believe us?
