Best SNL Movie

real cars in car chases = YES I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE

I'll accept yr point about Belushi's eyes but, cmon, his other prime physical tool was his BODY, so all is not lost, surely.

real cars in car chases = YES I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE

Almost all of them completely totaled. This was a $30 million movie, in 1980 dollars. That's like Terminator 2 money. And most of it, I'm pretty sure, was spent on destroying Ford Crown Victorias.

I'm pretty sure that level of car destruction was completely unheard of at the time. One of my enduring memories from when I first saw the movie in a theater was the hilariously endless list of stuntpeople in the credits.

and ford crown vics are solid vehicles, they don't destruct easily.

so awesome. it was like watching someone play toy car smashups, but with real cars!

I just like the kind of 'ahh fuckit let's just have fun and make a movie with our friends' vibe

'and do tons of blow'

OMG totally. Apparently the after-parties were almost as destructive as the movie itself.

u voting, Morbs?

plus if you hate the Blues Brothers you hate Blue Lou, Matt Guitar Murphy, Steve Cropper, Donald Duck Dunn, Mr Fabulous and all the Stax guys imo

makes u think

you know what makes a hilarious comedy is great music and car crashes

And blow.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not.

I don't see a problem with any of those things unless you hate fun

i like fun but i also like jokes in my comedies.

you are a joke in your comedy

You don't like musicals, do you? This may be the crux of the issue.

tbh i havent seen blues brothers in a long time, i just remember it being kinda long and not being funny and having cool music but feeling weird about it being appropriated by jim belushi and dan ackroyd and having cool car crashes, it just seems like one of those weird 70s/early 80s (not gonna look it up) movies that has aged very poorly.

1980.

rewatch it

While stoned.

and if you mention Jim Belushi and the Blues Brothers in the same sentence again I'll...well...I'll say mean things to you

But I thought the Blues Brothers were John Goodman and Jim Belushi. What's the problem?

Go to hell. Go directly to hell. Do not pass "Go". Do not collect $200.

Question is Best SNL Movie. Bob Roberts is probably up there too, even though it didn't have the belly laughs of MacGruber.

deric you trolling bastard, I'll kill you

hee hee

I kind of never need to see the Blues Brothers again but it is funny - there are plenty of jokes in it and the music is great. also agree that it features Carrie Fisher at her most smashable. Belushi's excuse-speech is pure gold.

all time

I'm suddenly realizing that I've only seen three of these. Should probably watch this "Blue Brothers" movie sometime, though, huh? Will I like it if I didn't particularly care for According To Jim?

if I wasn't laughing I'd strangle you

blues brothers over wayne's world, macgruber

I like Wayne's World a lot but I have no idea how it's better than the Blues Brothers.

it's funnier?

Dang, I should've made this a general "Best SNL Spinoff" poll, so I could've included gems like this:

And the Toonces, The Cat Who Could Drive A Car special. A half hour of Toonces bits, interspersed with a bunch of new, non-Toonces material written by Jack Handey and starring George Wendt, Randy Quaid, Kevin McDonald from Kids in the Hall, and Joe Flaherty as a time-traveling Abe Lincoln.

Not to mention MTV's Wayne's World specials. Which might arguably be as good as the movies.

Wall, that wasn't as much help as I'd hoped

Yeah! I bought this at Blockbuster when I was 10 for like two bucks!! I loved the "Scruffy the Rat" bit ("If that's Scruffy, then who's that? Ewwwww!") and Coach Dobbs

I can't stand hearing movie quotes repeated ad infinitum, especially Caddyshack or Fletch.

But danged if I don't sit down for dinner at every company retreat with two unfamiliar co-workers and go "Orange Whip? Orange Whip?"

lol those were my #1 and #2 in the comedy poll and even I hate when ppl quote them too much.

Although I am occasionally guilty of doing so myself but it's not often and only in the presence of a particular friend.

Caddyshack or Fletch.

lol those were my #1 and #2 in the comedy poll

just kill me now

loool

Morbs, I'm sure we'll all do the right thing and run future ballots by a WWII vet before submitting.

apparently CHEVY CHASE IS THE GREATEST FILM COMEDIAN OF ALL TIME

Nobody's saying that, Morbs! We're saying he's the greatest comedian of all time full stop.

This is between og Wayne's World and MacGruber for me.
