The Blues Brothers (1980)



Jake Blues, just out from prison, puts together his old band to save the Catholic home where he and brother Elwood were raised.

Highly entertaining mischief full of music, propellent sequence of dramatic and humorous situations and a record-breaking number of pile-ups (mostly police cars).

Halliwell*: "Fashionable chase comedy with so many stunts that its cost ran up to 33,000,000 dollars. The public stayed away, though it gained a cult following since."

Maltin***: "Engagingly nutty comedy...Off the wall from start to finish, with some fine music woven in..."
