Raz and I have begun a Christopher Guest binger. Started with Best in Show, followed by Waiting for Guffman. So far many laughs, cringes and warm hearts.

Yeah I don't really count Spinal Tap. Doesn't fit with the others IMO. Probably do Mighty Wind next. And yeah, I don't remember enjoying Consideration much. Will try it again soon though.
