Sad, but they don't make comedies like this anymore. I was too young to see this in the theater when it came out but remember watching it with my older brother when it was on network TV for the first time. Never get tired of this movie. What's amazing is to watch some of these movies from 70's and 80's today that were rated R. An R rated movie back then would be a PG movie today.Blues Brothers got an R rating I think mostly due to language. What I also loved about this movie were the musical numbers. A movie like this could not be made today.
