I believe the problem MAY have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on stage that was in danger of being CRUSHED by a dwarf.

 The Great Dictator (1940)An amnesia-stricken soldier returns to civilian life as a barber in a Jewish ghetto, unaware the country is now being run by a ruthless dictator...who bares a striking resemblance to him. Charlie Chaplin's first official talkie is an on-target, often hilarious anti-war satire. As usual, Chaplin proves himself a master of physical comedy, doing assorted slapstick and sight gags. There are all kinds of comedy set pieces that are brilliantly done. It must have been quite daring at the time to do a comedy satirizing Hitler when he was on the rise. Chaplin's rousing speech at the end is very poignant and still rings true today. 8/10 |

Xanadu (1980) I was listening to Olivia Newton-John's Magic the other day, and got me an urge to watch this denounced film at the tail end of the disco era. The movie was campy, cheesy, cringy dialogues, ugly costumes, atrocious special effect, and terrible acting especially by the lead actor Michael Beck. God, he was bad. Basically, anything that can be bad about a movie, you can find it here. It is like the movie was made for pre-teens, and only for pre-teens. That said, the film had its potential with an interesting muscial fantasy story, but just that the execution was off mark. There were some good moments though: The Gene Kelly & Olivia Newton-John dance, the rock 'n' roll mixed with the big band by The Tubes and Olivia Newton-John, and the animation during the Don't Walk Away tune. What this movie got going was the excellent soundtrack of mostly Olivia Newton-John & Electric Light Orchestra songs, one of my favorite movie soundtrack. The movie seems to have developed a much lenient assessment in recent years, which resulted to a successful Broadway musical. It is one of those bad movie that is watchable, thanks to the music and the charming Olivia Newton-John.  |

The OP quote:
THIS IS SPINAL TAP (1984) Rob Reiner’s Mockumentary of an aging rock band (Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, and Christopher Guest), with Reiner himself. My intro to the group (which I thought was real) was from “The Otto Show” Episode of THE SIMPSONS in 1992. I would see the film in parts on Comedy Central and the Movie channels in the mid-1990s. It’s entry in I LOVE THE 80s (with reactions by Tom Muschiano, Quiet Riot, and Alice Cooper) informed me how painfully real to life some of the comedy scenes were. I finally saw the full film on a Betamax Recording in 2021. Amazon Prime
