Summary: An American Classic!
Review: The best of the SNL movies ("Wayne's World" a close second.) The DVD is excellent and includes a scene in the movie where Elwood quits his job at an adhesives plant - which I had never known of but helps explain a stunt later in the flick.The documentary was made while they were promoting the awful "Blues Brothers 2000" and is pretty good, although it's obvious Dan Akroyd is pretty full of himself. The music is great, the comedy still funny, and the catchphrases are the stuff of legend! An essential for your collection.

Summary: 5 stars for movie; three for this DVD
Review: The Blues Brothers is one of my favorite movies. Unfortunately, they ruined it in this version by including scenes that were cut with good reason. I keep hoping they'll release a DVD of the original movie without the dubious 17 extra minutes, but so far no luck. :o(

Summary: Movie and DVD Review.
Review: "The Blues Brothers" is one of the best 80's movies I have ever seen! John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are awesome here! Belushi and Aykroyd star as Jake and Elwood Blues who want to raise the money by putting their band back together and staging a large gig. The DVD is great. The picture and sound quality are wonderful. The extras are superb including the documentary and the production photographs. If you own a DVD player, you must own "The Blues Brothers". I think you won't be disappointed.

Summary: What a great goof
Review: Wonderfully entertaining film, over and over again. Obviously these guys, Dan Ackroyd and the late John Belushi are having a great time. They took to the big screen a great "Saturday Night Live" skit and white blues afficionados "Joliet" Jake and his brother Elwood Blues. Upon Jake's release from prison, he and his brother get together and reunite their band. The purpose is to raise money for the orphanage where they grew up. The task is sufficiently bumbled for them to engender the wrath of the Chicago and Illinois police and the Nazi party. We get extended car chases, random destruction and more general disarray than any other two or three
films need. But it is the music which makes the film and the musicians making it. Super performances by John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and of course, the Godfather of Soul as Rev. Cleophus James (who shows Joliet Jake the Light in a rollicking church service). They are backed by the BAND, comprised of Steve Cropper and Donald "Duck" Dunn (of Booker T and the M.G.'s, Murphy Dunne, Willie Hall, Tom Malone, Lou Marinni, Matt "Guitar" Murphy and "Mr. Fabulous" trumpeter Alan Rubin. Great music, more than a few laughs. We don't need much more.

Summary: If you love the Blues Brothers, you'll love thsi video!
Review: I have searched for a long time for a copy of this video and it's worth all the effort. After years of watching commercial-inundated versions, I had forgotten how much fun the uncut original could be. Definitely worth adding to your video library.

Summary: My Favorite Movie Ever
Review: I love this movie. It is graced by the presence of Aretha Franklin and James Brown. It has great music, and is hillarious and fun A CLASSIC! It's 105 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses

Summary: Godliness Accomplished
Review: Jake and Elwood Blues are on a mission from God. Save the orphanage which they were raised in. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are the brothers in black and try to raise money for the biggest blues concert ever. They try to get their band back together and stay out of a crazy woman's trigger range. A church enlightens them and many people do backflips! You better give Aretha Franklin some respect, buddy! The music will have you jumping on your feet and clapping. Oh yes, brother! Testify! I have seen the light! "The Blues Brothers" is the best musical to have ever hit the big screen. The car chases are memorable and the race to the bank at the end is history. 'Hut Hut Hut Hut Hut Hut,' yes! The brothers were chased by cowboys, an ex-wife, police, S.W.A.T. teams and more! Too bad the sequel isn't as inspiring.
