The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash (1978)

Follow four mop topped young Brits whose right choice of trousers (tight) gets them a lifetime recording contract despite their lack of musical ability. Overcoming that, they produce monumental albums like Sgt. Rutter's Only Darts Club Band, which, along with appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show and a concert at Ché Stadium, cement their world domination of pop music. But, as with their Fab Four namesake, artistic differences and various other problems threaten to derail Rutlemania. This Beatles parody, the brainchild of Monty Python's Eric Idle, originally aired as a skit on Saturday Night Live. Audience response was so overwhelming that SNL producer Lorne Michaels decided to go ahead with a full production, enlisting SNL players John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd, to name a few. Includes The Rutles' wonderfully warped songs Ouch!, Piggy In The Middle, Cheese And Onions, Get Up And Go and many other twisted yet familiar-sounding tunes.

The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch (2003)

After sitting on a Warner Brothers shelf for over a year, "The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch", the much-anticipated sequel to Eric Idle and Gerard Corvin's 1978 mockumentary, is finally released, revealing the final exploits of The Rutles as they do a reunion tour of America. Documentor Dirk McQuickly (Eric Idle) interviews many artists and personalities who were inspired by the legendary band, from David Bowie to Tom Hanks.

*The Rutles 2 is New*

"Before Spinal Tap became an all time classic. You had one of the first Faux-Doc/Mockumentaries by an all time comedic legend Eric Idle (Monty Python) & original Saturday Night Live cast legends. This arrow across the bow of the Fab Four pokes fun at all aspects with larger than life characters, connundrums and more. Sometimes parody, other times mimicry in the finest way. If you haven't seen or heard of it or were looking for something before the genre became what it's dominated by this might just be it." - OFFF
