"This is Spinal Tap" (scene, heartbreak, watch, Elvis Presley)

[Texan2008]

Who else has to get their fix of this movie periodically?

My favorite exchange in the whole movie...


Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: These go to eleven.

That's one of my favorite exchanges! Here's another:


Marty DiBergi: You two were at school together?
Nigel Tufnel: We're not university material.
David St. Hubbins: What's that on your finger?
Nigel Tufnel: It's my gum.
David St. Hubbins: What are you doing with it on your finger?
Nigel Tufnel: I might need it later.
David St. Hubbins: Put it on the table, that's terrible.
Nigel Tufnel: No, I might forget it on the table.
David St. Hubbins: [to Marty] F***ing awful, you can't take him anywhere.

One of my all-time favorite movies! Reminds me to watch it again. LOVE mini-Stonehenge!

I love the scene where they're standing at the grave of Elvis Presley and try to break into a bad attempt to sing Heartbreak Hotel, that ends up sounding like "barbershop raga."

David: Oh sorry...well this is thoroughly depressing.
Nigel: It really puts perspective on things, though, doesn't it?
David: Too much, there's too much ****ing perspective now.

I like to occasionally use that last line myself.
