This is Spinal Tap

Do you remember This is Spinal Tap? We sure you do—this comedy film isn’t easy to forget, after all. What you might not know is the fact that a huge chunk of the movie involved the cast making stuff up. That’s the real reason they were eventually credited as writers. Case in point? “It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever” wasn’t in the original script.

Dr. Strangelove

Did you know that Dr. Strangelove was almost called How I Learned to Stop Worrying About the Bomb? The tale about the cold war paranoia was certainly an absurdist masterpiece through and through. The team actually decided not to write a standard script and encouraged creativity. Sellers actually improvised the titular character’s Nazi salute!
