1. I love that scene

That movie underrated. The plot's kinda thin, but there's a lot good stuff in it.

4. And a lot of good music by some of the best ever. We watch it a couple of times a year.

I liked Blue Lou up on the counter with his tenor - nice touch - as well as Jake and Elwood dancing with the three female patrons. The Johnny Lee Hooker scene before that is probably my favorite, but Ray Charles is a close second. The guy who played the leader of "The Good Ol' Boys" (forget his name) recently passed away, and while few know it, he played in the Star Trek episode (original TV series) as the minstrel from the Botany Bay in the Kahn episode.

While it wasn't as good a movie, "Blues Brothers 2000" got back every cast member from the original movie who was still alive, including Frank Oz. The only movie series I know of with more cameos is the Muppet movies, particularly the first. They were all short, but there were too many to count.

Oh, and the plot in both "Blues Brothers" movies is to drive a fast police car all over the place with countless police cars chasing you. That's pretty much it. And just a little trivia, in the first movie, that scene under the subway line really was a car doing 120mph. They had to refilm it with people walking and biking in the extremeties because the first cut didn't look real but rather filmed at a slower speed and turned into fast-action. I don't know how they coordinated all of that, but the car was actually doing 120mph.

3. Love "The Blues Brothers!"

A lot of the younger generation have never seen it, more's the pity.

5. Back to that same old place...
