I seem to be the only person of that era who did not find "The Blues Brothers" to be funny in the slightest. I got one laugh out of the "How much for the little girl?" bit, and then it was praying for the end of the movie. I had "Briefcase Full Of Blues" on 8-Track and played it until it finally snapped because I loved it, so I have no idea why I disliked the movie.
At $5, I may snag it and give it a try again. But I danged sure grabbed "Animal House" at that price!!
I saw THE BLUES BROTHERS during it's theatrical run and I wasn't impressed. I thought it was "just okay." When I worked in a video rental store in the 1980s, some of the employees loved this movie and we'd watch it on the big screen sometimes while we were working. I gained a slightly (slightly, mind you!) greater appreciation for a few specific scenes and bits of dialogue ("Orange Whip? Orange Whip?"), but I never grew to really like this movie. I don't even have a copy in my DVD collection (and I DO own other movies I don't particularly enjoy). Maybe I'll give it another try.
