Top 10 feel good movies - 3 The Blues Brothers

1980

Just had to be there didn't it?

Two low life blues musicians attempt to raise money to save the orphanage they grew up in and create mayhem as they do so while pursued by nazis, the police, rednecks and Carrie Fisher.

Favourite bit:
Elwood: "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've gotta full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."
Jake: "Hit it!"

Mike's view:
How did this ever get made? Insane idea but it ends up as a brilliant movie that has given me so many great moments that I can recall when I need cheering up. Brilliant, that's all there is to it and did I mention the music?
