SPINAL TAP THE COMPLETE WORKPRINT 1984 4 3/4 HOUR MOCKUMENTARY DVD-R!

Sale!

$11.99

SPINAL TAP satirizes the behavior and musical pretensions of rock bands and the hagiographic tendencies of rock documentaries such as Gimme Shelter (1970), The Song Remains the Same (1976), and The Last Waltz (1978). Most of its dialogue was improvised and dozens of hours were filmed.

This Is Spinal Tap received positive reviews, but was only a modest success upon its initial release. However, it found greater success and amassed a cult following after it was released on VHS. In 2002, it was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. In 2016, film critic and author Jeremy Arnold chose it as one of the “52 Must-See Movies”, describing it as “one of the single most influential movies of the past thirty-five years” and arguing that it “effectively launched a new genre—the mockumentary”.

 

complete SPINAL TAP workprint runs 4 3/4 hours, from a lousy VHS transfer (hi VSOM!) with some glitches here n there. DVD-R is encoded in MPEG 1 so that all 4 3/4 hours can fit on one disc, so its like a VCD with menus. it is compatible in most DVD players, but don’t worry! if it gives you any trouble, i have free returns and refunds!!
