'On Top' (Icelandic: 'Me allt hreinu' ) is an Icelandic musical comedy from 1982, directed by Icelandic director gst Gumundsson. The film, which still enjoys widespread popularity in Iceland, tells the story of two bands (one all-male and one all-female) that go on a tour together and then become engaged in a rivalry.
The cast is composed members of the pop bands Stumenn (also the name of the band in the film) and Grlurnar ('Grurnar' in the film), and the film is largely based on performances by the two bands. According to Valgeir Gujnsson the L.A. Times film critic reviewed the movie and started the review by saying "On Top features a bunch of Icelandic fruitcakes wearing strange clothes"
