About this movie

David St-Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel have been friends since they performed as children outside London's tube stations. Working under a succession of names, they eventually found success in 1967 as Spinal Tap. Within a year, their singles were climbing the charts. The band expanded and in 1983, armed with a new record label, they returned to America after an absence of six years. They were greeted by film director Marty Di Bergi - a Spinal Tap fan for sixteen years. This is the film he made of their tour into the American heartland.

I LOVE this movie. I didn't like it very much when my brother first showed it to me but the second time we watched it, I loved it! It's one of those movies where at least once a month, I say to him, "We need to watch spinal tap again. But why can you only rent it on here? I wanna buy it. I know I could just buy the DVD but we already have the DVD. I want a digital copy so I don't have to put in a disc

Simply awesome. I just wish we had the option to buy it, rather than only renting it.

Awesome movie! Really glad Google brought it back to the US. You'll laugh every minute!
