October 22, 2003I've seen ALL of Mr. Guest's movies, and while Spinal Tap & Best in Show, even Waiting for Guffman were all brilliant, A Mighty Wind is certainly his masterpiece. This movie is, by far, my favorite movie of the year, and on my top 10 list of favorite movies of all time. I laughed harder at A Mighty Wind than I did in Best in Show, and I continue to laugh when I listen to certain songs on the soundtrack, as they remind me of those quirky moments in the movie. A Mighty Wind is a top notch movie that I would recommend to all people of all ages. My biggest regret is that it never played in our small town theaters and wasn't able to see it on the large screen.

September 12, 2003Well, it's true that Best in Show has more laughs, but I could watch Mighty Wind repeatedly because of the folk music tie-in. If you've ever been a serious yet somewhat tongue-in-cheek folk music fan (like me), you'll enjoy the movie and listening to the music (there's actually some decnt folk music written for the movie). If you never liked folk music or hated the whole folk music phenomenon of the 60's, you'll appreciate the put down of the whole genre. after all, if it's so easy to write folk music for a parody of it, then how good was the real stuff to begin with?
