Jake and Elwood Blues (John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd) are “on a mission from God” to get the band back together, put on a show and raise enough money to save the orphanage they were raised in.

THE BLUES BROTHERS IS THE GREATEST FILM MUSICAL EVER MADE
Don’t even try to debate me on this. The music is amazing (Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, etc.), the cameos are hilarious (John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Steven Spielberg, etc.) and the car crashes cannot be beat. Yes you heard right – CAR CRASHES! Eliza Doolittle never drove a car through a shopping mall, Jake and Elwood do. And sure Captain Von Trapp and Maria were able to outsmart some Nazis, but only Jake and Elwood could send Nazis splashing into a river. This movie is so good that even The Vatican is trying to ride its’ coattails. It is a genuine religious experience. Please watch with lots of people and LOUD as possible. It’ll do your soul good.
