With Thanksgiving done and Christmas round the corner, holiday season is in full swing, but it's not juts festive fare on offer from HBO Max this month.

Topping the list of the best HBO Max movies to be arriving this December is mock-rockumentary Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, which sees the legendary metal band reunite for one final farewell gig. Hilarity ensues. If authentic music docs are more your thing, then HBO Max has you covered there too, with their "Music Box" strand delivering tell-alls covering the likes of Jeff Buckley, Wizkid, Counting Crows and 'toddler pop'.
