Best of 2009 (Part 6 of 10)

5) “Anvil: The Story of Anvil” (VH1 Classic, dir. Sacha Gervasi)
Mocking a duo of has-been heavy metal rockers from the 80’s would have been easy game for any documentarian, but it’s clear that director Sacha Gervasi holds the sometimes goofy members of Anvil in high esteem. More than just a real life Spinal Tap, Anvil is a hilarious love letter to anyone who’s made sacrifices to pursue their dreams long after they probably should have given up. On DVD and Blu Ray.
