The Blues Brothers
BY amc32 superstar
this is one of a very few movies that if i come across it whilst channel surfing i immediately start watching it
musical gold all the way through, some very dry one-liners, plenty of cameo appearances and an unforgettable chase scene

This long, expensive 1980 cult movie has an energy and individuality lacking in similar films nowadays. Full Review
Retains a huge nostalgic kick, thanks in large part to Aykroyd and Belushi's easy rapport, a smattering of daft, shaggy humour and some truly iconic musical sequences. Full Review
Still sounds great, and looks as good as ever through Ray-Bans. Full Review
There's even room, in the midst of the carnage and mayhem, for a surprising amount of grace, humor, and whimsy. Full Review
