But if someone marked a milestone from the satire, hidden in the -common now and then original- mockumentary genre, that is This is Spinal Tap. Released in 1984, it was Rob Reiner’s feature film debut (When Harry met Sally among many others), and what it proposes to achieve: laugh at all the nonsense of a band heavy metal on tour of the United States.

For every rock lover, take a look spinal tap (that’s what it’s called right away) since the mid-’80s it became a fixture. Those in their 60s now know that renting it at a video store in the neighborhood and gathering with friends is a great program.
