April 1: This is Spinal Tap - Rob Reiner
"This Is Spinal Tap" shines a light on the self-contained
universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including
everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name
changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite
groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and
those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.
April 8: Diner – Barry Levinson
Set in 1959, Diner shows how five young men resist their adulthood and seek
refuge in their beloved Diner. The mundane, childish, and titillating details
of their lives are shared. But the golden moments pass, and the men shoulder
their responsibilities, leaving the Diner behind.
