Vintage Trailer of the Day: This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
Features By Scott Beggs on May 6, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Here’s the infamous “Cheese Rolling” trailer for This Is Spinal Tap.
The picture quality isn’t ideal, but it may be the single most hilarious trailer of all time. Rob Reiner pitches sex, comedy, big nipples, stars, and begs the audience to let him break into film so he won’t have to go crawling back to television.
It’s a trailer written in the saddest key with no footage from the movie itself – just the director giving us some information about how many awards he’s won and how the fine tradition of cheese rolling began. If you love Spinal Tap, but have never seen this trailer, you owe it to yourself to watch it three or four thousand times.
