Interesting funk...my list is nearly opposite:

1. Spinal Tap
2. A Mighty Wind
3. Best in Show
4. Waiting for Guffman

But I wholeheartedly agree that even my least favorite of the 4, Waiting for Guffman, is still a terrific and very funny flick. Good stuff.

I am not sophisticated enough for Guest's humor. I don't find his movies very funny, although I can see how others may laugh.

Same here, except I did laugh some at Best in Show.

Same with "O Brother Where Art Thou"

I turned it off after 55 minutes cause I was so bored.

Ted Boynton: Positive thinking is fine in theory. But whenever I try it on a systematic basis... I end up really depressed.

Marta: I don't go to bed with just anyone anymore. I have to be attracted to them sexually.

Woman (Shootings in America): You can't say Americans are not more violent than other people.
Fred: No.
Woman (Shootings in America): All those people killed in shootings in America?
Fred: Oh, shootings, yes. But that doesn't mean Americans are more violent than other people. We're just better shots.

Fred: Maybe you can clarify something for me. Since I've been, you know, waiting for the fleet to show up, I've read a lot, and...
Ted: Really?
Fred: And one of the things that keeps popping up is this about "subtext." Plays, novels, songs - they all have a "subtext," which I take to mean a hidden message or import of some kind. So subtext we know. But what do you call the message or meaning that's right there on the surface, completely open and obvious? They never talk about that. What do you call what's above the subtext?
Ted: The text.
Fred: OK, that's right, but they never talk about that.
