Another meme another day. There are some memes I see that I just pray that the author temporarily forgets I exist and then there are some that I just can’t wait to get my hands on. This is one that I just couldn’t wait to get my hands on. I was tagged by Shawn, over at Lo-Fi Tribe, to create a top ten movie list, and boy do I love movies. Here are the rules (as copied and pasted directly from Shawn himself):

1. List your top ten favorite films (in no particular order). 2. If you are tagged, you have to post and tag 3-5 people. 3. Link back to the one who tagged you.

So here we go in no particular order my top ten movie list!

This Is Spinal Tap

Does for rock and roll what “The Sound of Music” did for hills. With such classic songs as “Hell Hole”, “Sex Farm”, and “Big Bottom” how could you go wrong? As a huge heavy metal fan I have to say this just might be my favorite movie of all time. I am a huge sucker for loud music and dumb humor, which this movie has plenty of. This film stars Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer, who play their parts well. It is mock “rockumentary” about a washed up British heavy metal band trying to make a come back here in the states, followed by by a fan and film maker Marti DeBergi (Rob Reiner) Some of the highlights include a two part harmony of “Heart Break Hotel” at Elvis’ grave, Harry Shearer getting stuck inside a giant pea pod of sorts, and exploding drummers. Warning: This is in no way a family film.
