There have not been as many musicals this year as in the past. In fact, my winner this year is not, exactly, a musical. It does have a lot of music in the film and people in the cast sing. However, it was the one I enjoyed the most this year, so I’m giving it to them.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues

Spinal Tap returned for a special concert, despite their inter-band conflicts. The film had special guest cameos from Paul McCartney and Elton John (both who did songs).

Spinal Tap is always a good time and this sequel to the Hall of Fame film This is Spinal Tap was a lot of fun and creative.

And the way Stonehenge happened…. oh my goodness.
