I have to admit I've never watched Spinal Tap....

I don't even know why because I love mockumentaries.

I'm watching it now and it's hilarious. I'm seeing so many familiar faces. Bruno Kirby as a driver, Fran Drescher, Fred Willard....my God SO many........

R.I.P., Rob and Michelle...What a legacy...

They did a commentary track in character that’s as funny as the movie.

disappoint. We rented it through our cable provider lastnight.

Reiner's death is a loss to humanity - the details are beyond sad.

....I remember when the bass player got stuck in that plastic egg and the other scene where they were amazed at the album cover that was all-black. Very funny scenes.

I've tried watching it so many times, including since the tragedy. After a while, I fall asleep. I'm going to look up The American President and watch that today, because it's another I've never seen.

who were also in Rock bands. They laughed even more than me. It seems to be a personal test for me. If you don't like Spinal Tap we can't be friends.

Half of that movie was ad-libbed. Brilliant!

I own the video and I recorded Spinal Tap 2 last Sunday. I haven't been able to watch it...too emotional right now.

About how many people streamed Rob’s movies this week

I did, and several other people I know

I haven’t seen Spinal Tap either, tomorrow seems like a good day for it
