The Blues Brothers

Directed by John Landis
1980
★ 6.1 editorial score

It held the record for cars destroyed on film and works as a music documentary besides: Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown and Cab Calloway all get a full number.

“The film begins by exquisitely tracing Belushi's release from jail, before the brothers cut a destructive swath across Chicago, as they bring their band back together for a benefit concert to raise the $5,000 needed to keep open the Catholic orphanage where they were raised. The promotion posters echoed a line from the film, stating "They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God."”
