It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Requiem Æternam
way back then --32 years ago --movie fans must have had no minds of their own --- 
instead they all depended on a few ' big name ' reviewers to tell them what to see
for this one --it was so badly panned ( in my Boston area )--as a " worthless waste of time and money "
that it was an instant box office failure
:'-( :'-( :'-(
just a few weeks after the ' grand' opening --
nobody had showed up to the big theaters -
so --by pure luck --i stumbled into it --- playing at a local tiny movie house --
for just $1.00 !!!
all the 'loser' movies ended up there for matinees only
even for a buck --there were just about 20 folks in the 100 seat place :'-(
but the cheers and laughter sounded like 200 !!!
----------------------
by great luck --movie rental shops became big nationwide --
and this ' worlds greatest movie ' has become -- i will guess -
the most popular ' cult film' EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we're all locked into the RBJ time machine...
It's 1980, I'm 11 1/2 years old and it's Friday night with the family at the drive in theater.
Of course we're rolling our 1978 VW Bus
My sister (two years older than me) and I are in just back from the concession stand with our pop corn and Jr Mints as the sun sets and the movie screen flickers to life....
THE BLUES BROTHERS and....ALIEN
How's that for a double feature!

------------------------Fatdog said:The only other "cult" movie that comes close to Blue Brothers (at least for me), is Blazing Saddles - downright friggin' hilarious.
Aw man, they certainly don't make them like that anymore.
yup --blazing saddles
every line // every scene was a classic

The Blues Brothers remind's me of my late Dad. It was a Saturday afternoon and for the first time, he took my brother and I to see our first movie at an actual sit down Theatre, up till then we had always gone to drive ins. The memory is so etched in my head. A great funny movie, first time out with my dad without my mom and first time at a sit down Cinema!!! Simply Fantastic

Me and my brother pesterd our dad to rent this movie but as soon as Elwood said were going to visit the penguin and Jake replied replied with "no f**king way" he whipped that that cassette out the betamax and that was that. TBF he let us watch the car chase at the end.
