Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER MADE
Review: This has got to be the funniest movie ever. The Blues Brothers are two brothers on a "mission from God" to put their old band back together. It's fast-paced and hilarious at every turn. It also features appearances by James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, and Aretha Franklin. They sing such songs as Gimme Some Lovin', the theme from the TV show Rawhide, and Everybody Needs Someone to Love. This an amazing movie, and everyone should see it.

Summary: Blues Brothers- The best movie ever.
Review: This is a great movie. It is funny and entertaining. It is one of those movies that never gets old. It's truly hilarious, and the cast is awesome. Many famous people make appearances, like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. So it's got a truly great cast even without the two main charactors, which are awesome actors themselves. The story is cool, and although it's a long movie, it never stops being hilarious. There is a very funny movie here, but if you're not into movies, just buy it for the music. The music is truly amazing, and the scenes with the music are very cool. Personaly, i think the music is worth buying the movie for. If you like music, you'll like the movie. If you like humor movies, you'll like this movie. There's something for everyone.

Summary: One of the best Comedies ever
Review: This movie is one of my personal favourites, Its absolutely hilarious, and has fanstastic music throughout. It has a decent plot, which is hard to find in alot of comedies. The cameo's are weaved into the movie seamlessly, so that they add to the plot instead of taking away from it. The movie has laughs, great music, huge car chases, and a good story, what more could you ask for. You have to see this movie.If you've seen Blues brothers 2000, don't hold that movie against this one. If you didn't like BB2000 don't assume you won't like this great film. I didn't like BB2000, but loved this one.

Summary: The Greatest Movie Ever Made
Review: I wish I had been there the day that God himself annointed John Landis with these mighty words: "Make the greatest movie ever made." John did. God had several specific requirements of the film: 1. It be set in the greatest city on earth. 2. It include music by the remaining members of the Spencer Davis group, except for Steve Winwood. 3. That any chase scenes include more colateral damage than Sherman's march. 4. That one impressionable youth from Palatine, IL be able to sneak past the ticket taker on this R-rated film's opening day. And it all happened, just as God requested. Sure, lots of people, women mostly, don't get this film. This is a genetic flaw. Not only is this film blessed with some of the most mindless violence ever bestowed upon the viewing public, but some of the worlds most repeatable dialogue ever. Consider the following: "S---!" "what?" "Rollers." "No." Yup." "S---." I would expect nothing finer of Vonnegut or Melville. Sure, some people would argue that Casablanca or a film of historical significance such as Gone With the Wind might be better flims, but this is because these people are not bright. The Blue Brothers is not about fact, or purpose, it transcends meaning and takes film to higher, nirvana-like plane - a place where 75-squad car pile ups and Carrie Fischer with with flame thrower not only make sense, they are necessary. There are people who would argue that things like going to work or bathing are more important than watching this movie again. I pity them. Their small lives are unable to fully grasp the magnatude of the Blues Brothers. These are people, who, upon their deaths, will be forced to enter heaven and look St. Cab Calloway in the eye and explain, "I don't know all the words to Minnie the Moocher." If for some reason you have not seen this movie yet this week (perhaps you are a limbless vagrant with an expired Blockbuster card and no clothes to trade for the rental) do so now. It may not be too late.

Summary: THE BEST MOVIE,EVER...
Review: This dvd not only includes the best movie made ever(with sufficient sound and picture quality) but also contains production notes lasting over an hour containing possibly anything you might want to know about THE BLUES BROTHERS. -"WON'T YOU WELCOME FROM CALUMET CITY ILLINOIS THE SHOW BAND OF JOLIET JAKE AND ELWOOD BLUES: THE BLUES BROTHERS"

Summary: A funny classic
Review: This movie is to me what Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World was to my Dad. It is a funny movie that has a plot (save an orphanage) and is full of well known/famous people Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, James Brown and Steven Spielberg. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd aka brothers Jake and Elwood Blues who are so damn funny. From making the Cook County police force. mad. to trying their hand at singing in red neck and soul joints. There singing the theme from Rawhide is a classic. And the fast car chases and other action is fun. They are "on a mission from God," and you will laugh the who way as they seek to accomplish their Godly mission. You do have to be in the right mood to watch this movie.

Summary: This flick doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
Review: I'll start off by saying in the entire history of American cinema, this is my run-away favorite of all time. There is NO movie like the original Blues Brothers. This is the only movie that makes me laugh with every viewing. It makes me want to jump up and dance, grab my guitar, drink a beer, and bring on the happy tears. Belushi steals this movie in my opinion and that's hard to do with the equally great Elwood. From the opening notes of 'She Caught the Katy' to the finale 'Jailhouse Rock' this movie brings a clever one-liner, a great song, or fast cars every second. This movie has no lull anywhere. Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Ray Charles, Cab Callowy, and the great John Lee Hooker all sing in this one along with 'The Blues Brother's Band'. Jake and Elwood's singing performances are superb. How anyone can dismiss this movie is beyond me. I look at it as a lesson in life. The good will win (no matter how bad they may be). The session musicians are also excellent. Even the 'geek' of the band Merv is great and they all fit into the motley crew band. Steve 'The Colonal' Cropper, Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Willie 'two bit' Hall, Tom 'Bones' Malone, Matt 'Guitar' Murphey, Alan 'Mr. Fabulous' Rubin, and Lou 'Blue Lou' Marini can all be proud of their involvement with this film. The wrecking of a public mall is classic (You got us into this parking lot Motorhead, now you get us out!) If that ain't enough, then wait for the finale. Jake and Elwood race to the tax center with Chicago police (cars, horses, helicopters, and boats), Nazis, the US Army (complete with every weapon to include tanks), a swat team, firemen, and a really mad country band in a winnebago in chase. The chase scene is so over the top it must be seen to be believed. Also watch for Carrie Fisher, John Candy, and a brief cameo by Paul Rubins (Pee Wee Herman). We miss you Joilet Jake, without you the Blues Brothers just ain't right.

Summary: A mission from god involves a lot of wrecked cars
Review: There will never be another movie quite like the Blues Brothers. No movie can accomplish or come close to accomplishing what this movie did in terms of car stunts, musical sequences, even some of it's many quotes. The best thing is, is that very little of it looks dated and it is still fun no matter how many times you watch it because so much of it is classic. The story is simple but ample as Elwood Blues and his brother Jake, fresh out of prison on parole must round up the members of their old band to raise some charity money to save their old orphanage from being torn down and in the process end up destroying much of Chicago and making enemys everywhere they go. Music legends Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway and James Brown are all on hand to provide some of the best and most entertaining musical scenes you've seen in a film and almost every scene in between has ample padding for some of the biggest and/or most destructive car chases seen. The additional scenes added for the most part don't add a whole lot but are still interesting to watch, especially Elwood quitting his job at a bottling plant (Elwood without his sunglasses on!!) Whether you've seen it once twice or a hundred times, The Blues Brothers is a contemporary classic above almost any other and serves as grandoise entertainment every step of the way.

Summary: Blues ROCKS!
Review: This is a gem. This is one of the few musicals(besides the Marx Brothers) that I will watch. It is, however, more than just a musical. This is a film that has everything. There is comedy, music, classic Belushi, and one of the most elaborate car chases ever filmed.This is one that ranks right up there with Stripes, Caddyshack, Meatballs, and Animal House.Watch for Steven Spielberg cameo towards the end.(His only lines:"May I help you?" "and here is you're receipt.")
