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.

"They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God." Best film to start my birthday with! So quotable, so many great songs, the humor, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd! The many legendary artists, Carrie Fisher, that awesome Blues Brothers suit, which I've worn to many parties, I could go on and on. This will always be my favorite film.

OK, the title here is probably disingenuous. I live in Chicago, a city that doesn't allow you residence unless it can confirm that you love "The Blues Brothers" and "The Untouchables." So this review is coming with a fair amount of cultural bias out the door. So I'm just going to drop the honest par More
