Top Pieces of Art


The Blues Brothers (1980) and Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)


Both films directed by John Landis and written by John Landis and Dan Aykroyd


These are two of my favourite films. I can remember watching The Blues Brothers at an early age with my dad and singing along to the songs (which I still do when I watch it!)
I really like how the film is not the best-made film but focuses on the music and the musicians. How they managed to get so many famous musicians to play and/or sing in it I don’t know.  
As a sequel goes, Blues Brothers 2000 isn’t the best but I think it is successful as a sequel as it carries the musicians through from the first film and places them in context of when the sequel is set.
