The Blues Brothers Movie

[SattyNoCar]

Yeah, I know this is a B-body site, but I'm sure some of you like The Blues Brothers.

It's my favorite movie of all time, probably have seen it hundreds of times, BUT I had never seen it on the 'big screen'..........until tonight.

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the movie, it is being shown at select theaters around the country. My local theater happened to be one of them.

There's a brief commentary at the beginning and the end of the movie, but its stuff you know already if you're any kind of fan of the movie.

I wasn't expecting the theater to be packed for this, but I wasn't expecting only 3 people (including myself) either.

Oh well, I still totally enjoyed it.

Whole lotta stars, and some of our most awesome musicians in that movie!!

Great. Now I'll have to dig out my blue-ray and watch it again. Did the new release have the extra scenes that weren't in the original? (My last version is longer, has the extras).

Ok, this is what I mean by learning this website. In trying to edit the title, I managed to crate a whole nother thread.....

Delete one of them somebody?

They played the released version, not the extended version.

A theater here a couple years back did a retro movie series, like two nights a week. Seeing it on the big screen was cool after growing up watching it on BETAMAX (yeah that's right) through the 80s...classic.

Murph and the Magic Tones? Look at you in those candy-*** monkey suits!

Chickenwire?

My favourite quote from the movie is this...

oh, and this from John Candy...

Gotcha covered there.

Whoever fixed my mistake, THANK YOU!!

For me, there were details that stuck out more noticeably being on the big screen. I forget which scene it was exactly, but the Bluesmobile goes past the camera showing the drivers side, and clear as day you could see a hole cut in the quarter where a whip antenna had been mounted.

(apparently there's a bit of a delay too as kiwigtx's post wasn't there when I started this one)

Loved the movie we painted up our blues mobile back when you could find them in the 90s. Paint is about wore off now...got parked when we lost reverse tearing around......but man did we have a laugh driving it....
Its pretty cool to see these old movies on the big screen

our blues mobile is starting to look a lot sad. but there was a earth quake, terrible flood...Locusts!

The closest I ever got to a Bluesmobile was this, a '77 Gran Fury ex NY State Police car.

Bought it while I was in high school (about '83). I bought it off the guy who bought it at auction. Sadly the joy was short lived as the wiring up in the dash flamed out one night on my way home. The drivetrain lived on. Of all the cars I've owned, this is one I wash I could get back.

I think I've watched it about 15 times over the years!

One of the best movies of all time for sure. From some of the best comedy bits to bringing older music stars to forefront for a new generation of people to enjoy.
