The Blue Brothers 2000 is a horrible movie. And then there's this.

All of them, right?

Nothing beats a jam session full of geniuses, and not from just one genre of music.

Music is universal!

FWIW, John Belushi lived in the same town we did so he's a god here...

The Chicago cop car chase scene alone PLUS the Joliet Pen music fest will never blow (and the music doesn't blow either...you really wanna slam Aretha?).

Wanna fight?

The original is good straight through. Arguably one of the greatest flicks of all time.

The plot was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen, and it's sad that all those legends took part in that mess.

I take that back... There was a second redeeming factor: It introduced a lot of people to the likes of Koko, Jimmy Vaughan, and one of my favorites, Junior Wells. I'm betting that a lot of people who saw this film never heard of them before this.
