This is one of the greatest musical movies of all time! I got this on my laptop and have been watching it at work all week...I love this movie...show your love...

Absolute classic!






I never get tired of this movie...the music, the car chases, the car chase in the mall, the great script-it's so brilliant.

Works on every level-anyone who hasn't seen it is greatly missing out.

The car scenes alone is worth it, if not the absolutely incredible music made by some truly great musicians including the great Matt "Guitar" Murphy.

long live the bb movie !!!

who couldnt love this movie , hell i even liked the sequel !!!

I have seen this movie a million times.

U know what, u need to look out for the dialogue, thats what makes the movie. "i want to eat your wife" or something like that? U can catch something new everytime u see it!

ya know...i'm from chicago!

i know exactly where all that's filmed at.

"1060 West Addison....That's Wrigley Field"

before you get to the park, there's a viaduct that you walk under.

"she caught the katy..and left me a mule to ride"

"You Miserable Slug....Think You Can Talk Your Way Out Of This ?"


ahhh....memories.

All the excuses Jake makes for not turing up to the wedding are hilairious.

hell i even liked the sequel !!! [/quote]

each one slightly sullied the reputation of the original, imho

The original was FANTASTIC...The sequel was G A R B A G E. They shoud've left it alone...It was CORNY as hell and the music was weak.

Sequel was average but when compared to original it was shit!

The kid was annoying.

i love the part where matt asks jake how was joilet and he says they got a wicked pepper steak and then matt says it can't be worse than the cabbage roll at the terre haute federal pen then elwood says or the oatmeal at the cook county slammer...(lol)

Wilson Picket's 634-5789 was slammin in the sequel, otherwise crap.

Anybody who drinks Night Train is alright by me . . .

Imagine the balls on these guys (especially Dan Akroyd who can't sing a lick) to perform after Aretha Franklin & James Brown!

And somehow they made it work by balancing decent the singing by Belushi and comedic performing.

Good choice for a thread. Don't get me started on the Blues Bros. One of my favorite all time movies! I was hip to the Blues Brothers when they used to perform on SNL. This was obviously before the movie. I remember when it first came out, I went the day it opened. The theatre was PACKED! Man, I truly adore this movie. Have it on vhs and dvd. I must have seen this film 70, 80 times. I love also how they pay tribute to great black LEGENDS, not only playing the songs during the film, but having the actual artists perform. There are so many great scenes in this film. One of my faves has to be the church scene with James Brown. You actually have dudes flying through the air. This scene has been copied for a Nike ad with LeBron James and Bernie Mac.

Their dancing waa great. The time stole a couple I reckon

Allegedly, the coca leaf can do wonders for one's confidence.

You can't go wrong with movie that has JB as the preacher and Chaka in the choir.

Elwood:"We gotta work towards redemption.we gotta go to church."

Jake (sarcastic tone) :We gotta work toward redemption.we gotta go to church.....BULLSHIT!....
