The Blues Brothers..

[Red Dawn]

The bit where they play Rawhide and Stand by your man for the rednecks is hilarious.

[Red_Jim83]

Despite your tasteless ignorance, you have touched on the most pressing unanswered question of the last century:

 

Why was a movie featuring soul music called the Blues Brothers?

 

Maybe because the two charecters are called Jake and Elwood Blues, and they're brothers...just a guess!

[Captain]

Overrated pile of shite.

 

You've got a DNA malfunction problem.

Aye, that might be it like....I can see how that might be a touch complex for some folks grasp though.

[Karl_b]

Never seen it.

[Owen]

Never seen it.

 

Woooooooah. I got berated this weekend for never having watched Top Gun.

[Karl_b]

Woooooooah. I got berated this weekend for never having watched Top Gun.

 

Never seen that either.

[Owen]

Never seen that either.

 

Good man. You should pick up BB though - won't be expensive.

[Redder Lurtz]

Woooooooah. I got berated this weekend for never having watched Top Gun.

 

Never seen Top Gun and I think I'd be rather more tempted to use my balls as a doorstop than watch it.

[Stouffer]

There's not many of them left now.

[Nunavut Patrick]

There's not many of them left now.

Bloody hell, cannot believe I forgot she was in this....she was brilliant as well.

[thegreatelephant]

you contemptible pig!

 

favourite film ever made. well, probably watched it more times than any other

[Scott_M]

You gonna look pretty funny trying to eat corn on the cob, with no fucking teeth.

[Nunavut Patrick]

We're on a mission from God.

[VladimirIlyich]

A decent film but overrated for me. Its not one I can re-watch like Caddyshack or The Godfather for example. Its just iconic,I suppose.

[Tony Moanero]

I've never watched Blues Brothers.

[TheHowieLama]

Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.

[Teflon Don]

Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.

 

And some dry white toast.

[Nunavut Patrick]

How much for the little girl?

I watched some of this the other night, the first time I'd watched it for 20 years or so.

 

John Landis needs a slap.  He must have been so high on cocaine shooting the film, they forgot to go and edit it.  You could hack at least 60 minutes out of it and it would be a good film.  150+ minutes.  Truly awful.

 

I say I watched some of it, as it was so slow I had to turn it off and go to bed.

 

Got to Rawhide, so went to bed happy, at least.

He was probably partying with John Belushi while the editing was going on.

 

I would have to agree that The Blues Brothers is a load of shite, it was ok when I was about 12, the way Dan Aykroyd speaks in it makes me want to shoot orphans & all the songs are speeded up/produced horrendously.

[PestiRed]

Discovered that the missus has never heard of it, going to have to check whether it stands the test of time

[razor]

Put it on early.  Preferably after snorting some speed or something.

 

The opening scene of Belushi getting out of prison lasts at least 10 minutes.  Nobody would have complained if it had been 2.

 

The Aretha and Rawhide sequences are worth the entry fee.  But honestly, it is incredibly slow.

reckon i'll watch the extended version this week
