Blues Brothers was on the telly last night, I'd forgotten how much I loved it. We all think it was deadly right?

was never a huge fan, but i like the parts with carrie fisher and aretha franklin.

Great movie (although I can't say the same for the sequel). I still need to get the DVD that has some of the previously-lost footage restored.

the extended version is a ruin! Yuck! poo! boo!

the original cut is the best for this work of genius that you can get lost in. And Spielberg is the cook county clerk!

i can't watch that movie without remembering back to a certain drunken night when it was on tv...

I feel that way about long boring awards night shows like oscars and grammys - actually it's almost become a tradition!

What's in the extended version? Definitely one of my favourite movies. Certainly in my Top 5 comedies - of course other John Landis works Trading Places and Coming To America also feature... and The Three Amigos wasn't too shabby either.

It has some "new" scenes, as well as longer versions of scenes that were edited for the original release. Altogether, it's 18 minutes of additional footage taken from a preview print that was found a few years ago. There's an interview with John Landis where he talked about it, as well as even more footage that was destroyed.

The Blues Brothers is brilliant!! I love that film Its so dry, but its just so funny! And Carrie Fisher is such a nutter My favourite bit is in Aretha's cafe where they sing Think

There are SOOOO many great cameos in that film! James Brown, Aretha, Spielberg, Frank Oz, Carrie Fisher, Ray Charles....

The Original was awesome. Great movie. The sequles sucked!
