Question of the Day (Friday)
What is your favorite Christopher Guest movie?
*I know he didn't write or direct this one, but he had a lot of fingers in it.

I'm with agreement on The Princess Bride being one of the best all time movies, but it is NOT a CG movie. 
This is Spinal Tap (the original one, not the sequel) was so unique and such a classic. Waiting for Guffman would be my favorite in the last 12 years, followed by A Mighty Wind and then Best in Show. I never saw For Your Consideration but heard I should skip it.

Best in Show and Mighty Wind are my two favorites. Waiting for Guffman is funny too. Spinal Tap is a classic. I love Parker Posey's roles in his movies. She is such a good actress.

My favorite scene of hers is the pet store freak out when they don't have the dog toy she wants.

hello
Like I said before, I'm not good with names. I've never heard of him, but if he's someone, I'm sure I'll recognize him.
I don't remember the characters in Best of Show but I enjoyed the film.

"My cassette goes to 11" is, of course, a mixed reference to Spinal Tap/biking. Great poll happytime!

I love his films... all of them. Just saw A Mighty Wind again the other night, it's my new favorite again.

A Mighty Wind was under-rated, as far as I'm concerned. But I grew up knowing folk art singers and thus, the nuances of that film hit a cord. As for his last film, someone who saw it will have to speak to why it was so bad. I skipped it based on my friends' reviews.

For Your Consideration is the only one of his mockumentaries that I wouldn't give an A. I'd still give it a B, but I can easily understand that it wouldn't appeal at all to non-Guest fans. I was really surprised when I first heard about the subject of the film, since he had already tackled the topic -- far better -- in 1989's The Big Picture.

I've only seen three of these films and they all make me laugh. It's so obvious how much of him is in TPB. That his humor shines through without writing /directing makes this the winner. IMHO.
