6. This Is Spinal Tap
IMDb Rating: 8.0
This is my favorite documentary on this list of best music documentaries on Netflix in 2017. Ok, it isn’t actually a documentary, but a mockumentary. That means it is done in the manner of the documentary, but everything is staged. It focuses on the fictional band Spinal Tap and their struggles when their newest album underperforms and their tour fails. The cast who played the members of the band decided to continue as a real band and they have released three albums so far.
