This is what I found looking for music related Spinal Tap, a film I didn?t know (never seen in my videostore or shop)and it was directed by Rob Reiner, one of my favorites.

If you like it and have time: register, do a rating tour, find some people with the same tastes,and read some great critics about any film, director, etc...
