The Blues Brothers

One of the best movies ever made. Awesome car chases

Music is essential to the world of musicals. That's obvious. So, tell me, why do some musicals have crappy music? Anyway, i turned to 'The Blues Brothers' and first time in my life my musical ears have been cleaned. How can such a music genre be so... excellent. Blues music is influential, and so is this film. Since watching this movie, i have found myself engrossed to the world of Blues music. How can a movie be anymore influential? This movie is not for the faint hearted, because it will grab you and shake you up real good. 10/10 Dr. Pineapple

I admit that the main reason this movie is so good is because of how literally real it is. When it shows them destroying the shopping mall, that is an actual shopping mall that's being destroyed. I remember learning about it on Wikipedia's list of unusual articles. It's the Dixie Square Mall which was abandoned before finally being demolished in 2012. All the car pileups that appear are real as well. You have to admire a film that goes that far for the sake of a joke. Apart from that, I really did find myself caring for these characters and couldn't help but be engrossed at how cool they were. I love that this is such an all star cast. It makes me miss Carrie Fisher, but I'm glad to know her for roles other than "Star Wars". Tons of real life musicians appear. It's the awesome music and choreography that's a big part of what makes this movie so good. I love the random explosions. ***1/2

What a wild ride! This film was full of music, action scenes, dancing, comedy and Left Wing loony politics, of course. For a comedy, I was sorry to hear all the profanity and usage of the Lord's name in vain. Too bad they had to make and R-rated film of this. A little toned down and more people could have enjoyed all the antics of Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi and the others. Speaking of names: what a strange cast. The above two with John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Henry Gibson and singers James Brown, Steve Lawrence, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin! It's a lot of fun to watch with some memorable scenes. Most memorable to me was the incredible car chase scene through an indoor mall. I laugh every time I think about it, almost as much as I laugh when I pictured Aykroyd and Belushi doing back flips down the aisle!

"We're getting the band back together" - I always wondered where they got that from, and now I know. Plus, this film.. a freaking comedy.. with music numbers, has maybe THE BEST car chase scene I have ever seen in my life, and I am a huge film buff. Anyway, I always knew about this film, and its cult following and etc, etc but for whatever reason never got a chance to watch it until now. Yeah, I'm geeking out over this one. And The Blues Brothers are just cool. I think their expressionless faces are what hammer this sucker home. But yeah, that car chase. And the million-and one cameos. I need to look up how much this cost because it looks like it cost a lot to make. It was like they knew ahead of time that this was going to turn out as good as it did. I could go on and on about this film but I'm not going to. Oh, Princess Leia is in this. Now I'm going to check wiki for the budget on this sucker. It only cost 30 million to make? Whoa.

Forget the sequel... completely disregard it 100%... this film is the ultimate cult classic and the greatest musical ever made because it wasn't too corny! Fantastic Blues/Rock/Jazz/Swing... very nice stuff... John Belushi Rules... this is my all time favorite movie EVER! From the one-liners to the music to the performances to the dialog... everything about it was just so witty, original, unique, intelligent, superb, hilarious... if only more (or dare I say... less) SNL Spin-Off Film Characters were in TRULY ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC MOVIES LIKE THIS ONE... the world would be a much better place in my opinion! GET THE DVD AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING ANYWHERE NEAR BLUES BROTHERS 2000! AT ALL!
