They are teasing the "This is Spinal Tap" 40 year sequel on YouTube and it looks great, how about a "Waiting for Guffman

sequel too? I loved that one and all the Christopher Guest films...another would be "Best in Show". These, "mockumentaries" are so much fun to me...

One cool thing about these Hollywood sequels .. I like how they try to be loyal to the original cast.

Mark Harmon for example did his first role outside NCIS in over a dozen years (Freaky Friday reboot). Happy Gilmore called back most of the original stars.

Spinal Tap 2 brings back most of their cast including June Chadwick.. it's her first role in 24 years..
