PURPLE RAIN was one of the highest-grossing films of 1984, but Prince’s semi-autobiographical screen debut hasn’t aged as well as its music has. The opposite is true of THIS IS SPINAL TAP and STOP MAKING SENSE, which were only modestly successful at the time of their release but have become two of the most celebrated rock films of all time. Adam and Josh continue their 8 From ‘84 series with a look at the rock trio—plus Filmspotting Madness: Best of the 2010s gets down to the Final 4.
