The Blues Brothers (DVD 2003)

I brought this movie for my daughter who acted in a school play Blues Brothers and Soul Sisters. She really enjoyed it as she couldn't understand some of the scence in the play.

I like this film too

Excellent item, additional clips I didn't know existed. Damn the BBC for shortening the original!!!
You can't beat blues music of this quality!!!

brand new dvd still in wrapper, great film with excellent soundtrack really enjoyed watching it again and have wanted it for a while for our collection

have not watch probilbly crap bought for me dad
i will probilbly watch it somtime maybe not this reveiw is borring probilbly the the dvd

My hubby has been nattering for years for this movie and I kind of dragged my heels to buy it, but I'm glad I did I'd forgotten just how funny this movie was, Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi at their very best, cameo's by Aretha Franklyn, James Brown, carrie fisher, Cab Calloway to name a few, the kids loved it and found the car chase excellent, a good all round laugh a few blue words but good music and a good basic story line

I remembered that I had enjoyed this film quite some time ago when I saw it in the cinema and wanted to see it again. I was not disappointed and thought that it was just as good as I had remembered it to be. Highly recommend this DVD.

The Blues Brothers are the best and the worst of entertainers but you have just got to watch this film it leaves you laughing,Gasping for air and wondering how did they do that. You wont be disappointed. Come see a tribute one day www.stich-bluesbrothers.co.uk (if your not dont have a hangover in the morning you were not there or you were driving).

Fantasicly entertaining in every way. You'll be glued to the screen, watching this adventure unfold. A totally cool film.

It is funny has great music, it is amazing the amount of stars that are in this film if you have kids of around 10 years and over they'll love it, you can't go wrong with the blues bro's. On DVD even better.

THIS FILM IS FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES ACTION FROM START TO FINISH.ITS GREAT SONGS.THE CAST IS ALL STARS.INCLUDING RAY CHARLES,BRILLIANT CAR CHASE THROUGH THE MALL.GREAT STUNTS.A MUST BUY FOR EVERYBODY.IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FILM FOR AGES.YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.

A comedy classic, starring the likes of John Belluschi and a young David Akyroyd. It's full of great moments, funny and memorable alike, involving music legends like James Brown and Ray to name just a few, and ram-packed with great classic songs, mostly soul and jazz. Also host to the biggest pile up of cop cars in any film that I know of so...what's not to like?

Great classic film, even though shot soooo long ago. Music and one liners are amazing. Havn't see on TV for a while so got it for a bit of nostalgia, really glad I did.

Brilliant Music, Brilliant Cast, Brilliantly Acted, Brilliant Story- an absolute Classic I had to buy so my Kids could watch it! and they said 'Its Brilliant'

one of the most enjoyable films I've ever seen - great music, very, very funny and it's fun to spot the cameo performances too. The sort of film you can watch many times and still see something new that you missed before. recommend very highly.

Having watched it for the first time on VCR, I thought that it was time to buy it on DVD. So I searched on eBay for it, and bought it for an extremely reasonable price, bearing in mind that I could not find it in the shops near me. Received it, opened it, watched it, loved it!!! Not knowingly that there were extra sequences that were cut out of the original 1980 movie. From the lengthened introduction where Jake Blues, (John Belushi) leaves prison after 3/5 years for “good behavior”, and meets his brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd), to the epic 106 mile car chase from the Palace Hotel, to the J. Daley Plaza “where they got that Picasso”.
Dan Aykroyd (SNL, Trading Places), makes his appearance as driving superstar Elwood. The awesome Dodge Monaco 74 makes its’ memorable appearance as the infamous Bluesmobile – the much loved car that loyally transports Jake and Elwood to their gigs, and out of trouble, before literally falling apart near the end of the film.

Complete with bonus features, including how they made the film, and the extra few minutes that were cut out, the Blues Brothers is a must see film!

Favourite line:
“It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it!”

John Landis has done it yet again!

The Blues Brothers 2000 (1998), is just as action-packed and hilarious as the original.
Co-starring:
Frank Oz (Warden), Kathleen Freeman (the “Penguin”), Cab Calloway (Curtis), James Brown (Rev. Cleophus James), Steven Williams, Carrie Fisher, John Candy, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Henry Gibson, Jeff Morris, Charles Napier, Steve Lawrence, Twiggy, and Steven Spielberg.

The Blues Brothers Band:
Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Steve “The Colonel” Cropper, Donald “Duck” Dunn, Murphy Dunne, Willie “Too Big” Hall, Tom “Bones” Malone, Alan “Mr. Fabulous” Rubin, and “Blue” Lou Marini.

10/10 Action packed fun!!

Love it! Love it! Love it! Crazy mayhem happens throughout this film, but its a classic and very funny too. I would highly recommend.

i bought it as a present for my partner cos its one of his favourites.

i love the lively music & the characters, enjoyable, easy to watch film

I was after this film for along time but then i found it on ebay, the film is in very good condition. And it was a real treat to watch thank you for selling it. paul

This is an oldy but a goody, one of trhe best car chases ever and the film still makes me laugh. And a fantastic soundtrack, what more could you ask??

i am a keen fan of the blues brothers that is why i bought it. i had it on video but was bought a dvd player. dvds do not take up too much room. i love everything about the film. there is nothing i dislike. i would recommend it to anyone. brilliant film.

Having finished my shopping for Christmas my husband suddenly announces that he would like a DVD of the BLUES BROTHERS. I went all over and couldn't find it so I tried eBay and hey what do you know I found a brand new and sealed one at a very reasonable buy it now price. I scored major brownie points Christmas morning!!!!! He went on to play it as soon as he opened it - not quite my cup of tea but it floated his boat and he hasn't laughed so much in ages so worth every penny.
Many thanks

if ever a film could transport one to a 'better' time this dvd ticks all my boxes.
laughter smoothes over all cracks and for that i have to thank ebay and it's people within...bye

The Blues in this film is simply awesome.
It's like a who's who of blues.
A must for every collection.
Avoid Blues Brothers 2000 - its crap - somethings just can't be repeated.

One of my favourite films of all time.
I watch this every time I need to be cheered up. Within minutes of starting to watch The Blues Brothers the "PENGUINE" scene has me laughing and I am sat smiling or laughing from beginning to end.
The music is brilliant and Dan Ackroyd's dancing is so mesmerizingly funny.
Some absolutely wonderful, classic, singing stars also in this film and anyone would be a fool not to have this film in their collection.
