The Blues Brothers

So, my favorite movie of all time is definitely The Blues Brothers. I recently watched an interview with the director, John Landis (down below) in which he talks about the making of the film. The script was written by Dan Aykroyd. It was one of (if not the first) scripts Aykroyd had ever written and Landis describes how much he had to cut down.
One of the reasons I love this movie so much is because of how outrageous Belushi and Aykroyd act. An example of this would be in the church scene featuring James Brown:
The musical numbers in this film are absolutely phenomenal with appearances from Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin as well.

Here's the John Landis interview:

And this is just a interview I found with Belushi and Aykroyd on the Today Show in 1981:
