THIS IS SPINAL TAP is one of my top 5 favorite films of all time. It is also not a musical. Josh, we should have had a conversation about this before the bracket was created.

I envision myself as Johnny from Airplane!, gleeful as he sows chaos for no good reason.

Agreed, not a musical. But I'm relieved that the musical it was up against wasn't Blues Brothers. I don't like watching my fun films fight each other.

I'm here for this comment. It's a (great) movie about music. It's not a musical. It's just not.

Good grief! Only in Josh's demon chaos mind would I have to actively compare SPINAL TAP and White Christmas! Do I compare scores? Songs? Laughs-per-minute? Does the existence of a miniature Stonehenge shift the weight over completely? What about the fact that White Christmas is one of America's most enduring songs and written by arguably the greatest contributor to the American songbook?? Is knowing that Rob Reiner assembled a team that would then go on to create comedy masterpiece after comedy masterpiece part of the equation? What about the gorgeous harmonies in 'Snow'? I call shenanigans! Good day...

Not upset that you haven’t seen Sing Street, just upset at that poll result.

The Blues Brothers are on a mission from god. ‘Nuff said.
