"These go to 11.” “It’s such a fine line between stupid and … clever.” “Hello, Cleveland!”

The 1984 movie This Is Spinal Tap is jammed with so many iconic one-liners, it’s as if the characters have transcended the screen to walk among us. This Is Spinal Tap is credited with turbocharging a movie genre: the mockumentary, a documentary of a made-up subject for the sake of laughs. Now 41 years old, the film has been called by at least one magazine (Time Out) the best comedy of all time. Turns out, fans are still laughing. From July 5 to 17, the movie is being rereleased in over a thousand theaters around the country, in advance of the sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, which hits in September.
