Spinal Tap is one of my favorites, but I think A Mighty Wind pulls it off just as well and, in some ways, better.
There aren’t as many “cold sores” in “Wind” but the lead female in the New Main Street Singers has an interesting past. ;)
And the color witches are as funny as “it goes to 11”.
Spinal Tap is one of the funniest movies in the world. It would be funny even if they had left out the foil-wrapped cucumber part. And they were actually pretty good as musicians.
I haven’t seen A Mighty Wind. It’s now on my Netflix queue...
One of my favorite movies about a band is “The Commitments.”
If you haven’t seen it, it is certainly worth the time. It is about a band in Ireland singing Black Soul style and it is a hoot.
“Terry and I worship an unconventional deity. The power of another dimension. Now you are not going to read about this dimension in a book or a magazine because it exists nowhere... but in my own mind. Through our ceremonies and rituals we have witnessed the awesome and vibratory power... of color.”
