Parnell,David Kaff,June Chadwick, Bruno Kirby,Ed Begley-Jr,Danny Kortchmar,Fran Drescher,Patrick Macnee,Julie Payne,Dana Carvey,Sandy Helberg,Zane Buzby, Billy Crystal,Paul Benedict,Howard Hesseman,Paul Shortino,Lara Cody,Andrew J. Lederer,Russ Kunkel,Victory Tischler-Blue, Joyce Hyser,Gloria Gifford,Paul Shaffer,Archie Hahn,Charles Levin,Anjelica Huston,Donald Kendrick Fred Willard,Wonderful Smith and Robert Bauer.
"This Is Spinal Tap" shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters,hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.
Up to eleven!.... Geoff.

Hi All, Daren, One of Clint's most underrated films I think it was really good. It had a couple of funny moments in especially Clint's training regime and his let's just say bare encouragement to climb to the top....

Hi All, Millennium 1989 (Via Talking Pictures channel on Sky) This Sci-Fi film admittedly rather dated now but at the I first watched I thought it was a decent film, today it seems to be just a run of the mill B-Movie just the same just at the start of the CGI revolution that followed on from Star Wars still enjoyable if your into the genre...
Starring:-Kris Kristofferson,Jamie Shannon,Cheryl Ladd,Daniel J. Travanti,Robert Joy,Lloyd Bochner,Brent Carver, David McIlwraith,Maury Chaykin,Al Waxman,Lawrence Dane and Thomas Hauff.
Two jetliners collide, and Bill Smith (Kris Kristofferson) is put in charge of investigating the accident. But something isn't adding up about the crash -- from the strange comments on the flight recorder to the unidentifiable object found in the wreckage. What Smith doesn't know is that time travellers have taken the ill-fated passengers to repopulate the future. To ensure their mission's success, they send a gorgeous operative, Louise (Cheryl Ladd), to the past to hamper Smith's work.

Hi All, Panic In The Streets 1950 (Via Talking Pictures Channel on Sky) Classic B&W 50's drama which I dare say a host of modern films may have be based on a similar theme in recent years. For all I know the film itself may be based off another earlier film ? If you like the genre you'll like this....
Starring:-Richard Widmark,Paul Douglas,Barbara Bel Geddes,Jack Palance,Zero Mostel,Alexis Minotis,Dan Riss,Tommy Cook and Pat Walshe.
After Dr. Clint Reed (Richard Widmark) is called in to supervise an autopsy of a unknown man, he discovers that the John Doe died of pneumonic plague. Revealing his discovery to the mayor and city officials, Reed is informed that he has 48 hours before the public will be told about a potential outbreak. Joined by Captain Tom Warren (Paul Douglas) and his wife, Nancy (Barbara Bel Geddes), Reed must race against time to find out where the unknown man came from.
