  • A Mighty Wind is a 2003 mockumentary about a folk music reunion concert and the three groups that must come together to perform on national television for the first time in years. The film was directed (and co-written) by Christopher Guest. The title alludes to the folk standards "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Wasn't That A Mighty Storm", covered by many singers of the early 1960s. The film was inspired by the 1982 documentary film The Weavers: Wasn't That a Time! about The Weavers' 1980 Carnegie Hall reunion concert. Many actors and actresses return from This Is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, and Best in Show for this film, including Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, Ed Begley, Jr. , Jennifer Coolidge, Paul Dooley, John Michael Higgins, Michael Hitchcock, Rachael Harris, Don Lake, Jane Lynch, Larry Miller, Jim Piddock, Deborah Theaker, and Parker Posey. One of the songs from the movie, "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow", was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song, and was performed at the 76th Academy Awards by Levy and O'Hara (in character). The song was written by McKean with his wife, actress Annette O'Toole, while they were driving from California to Canada during the no-fly time after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

  • 『みんなのうた』(原題:A Mighty Wind)は、クリストファー・ゲスト監督の2003年アメリカ製作のコメディ映画。 1960年代のアメリカに巻き起こったフォークミュージックブームを主題にしている。 クリストファー・ゲスト監督の作品の特徴は、フィクションにもかかわらず撮影形式がドキュメンタリー風なので、「モキュメンタリー(疑似ドキュメンタリーの意)(en:mockumentary)」などと呼ばれることもある。
  • A Mighty Wind er en fiktiv dokumentarfilm fra 2003 om de amerikanske folkrock-bandene The Folksmen, The (new) Main Street Singers og Mitch & Mickey, som alle er parodier på reelt eksisterende folkrock-band fra 1960-tallet. Den er redigert av Christopher Guest som også spiller i filmen. Bakgrunnen for filmen er dødsfallet til Irving Steinbloom som var manager for en rekke folkrock-band på 1960-tallet. For å hedre faren sin bestemmer sønnen seg for å samle de fremste bandene i Steinblooms stall for en gjenforeningskonsert. Filmen handler om hvordan denne konserten blir virkeliggjort. Selv om det er en komedie, med flere elementer man kjenner igjen fra Guests tidligere arbeider, så har den blitt utsatt for kritikk med henblikk på sjangeren. Særlig fremstillingen av Mitch Cohen, spilt av Eugene Levy, viser en type skjebne det kan være vanskelig å lage komedie av uten å overdrive, noe filmen ikke er ment å gjøre. Den har også blitt kritisert for å være for profesjonell til å være en fiktiv dokumentar – skuespillerne er dyktige musikere, og sangmaterialet kan lett forveksles med den musikken filmen er ment å parodiere.
