Keep your street cred, It has a tendency to fade away with kids pretty quickly.
Blues Brothers is always on my list of favorite movies for several reasons:
1. It's filmed in and around Chicago, my home town, so much of it just rings true to me.
The scene where the cop cars are flying into the air flipping over off the highway...........
I happened to be caught up in the traffic jam that was created when they closed the road.
2. Love the music, when I was 16ish Motown was my music and I loved James Brown.
Believe it or not, I used to do all his dance moves
3. I think I've told this story before but, I had a very tiny part in the production.
In the scene where they drive through the mall and crash into the stores, I delivered the signage hanging up in the store
I always watch for that scene, It brings back memories.
I was asked to deliver this stuff to a film set.
I thought OH BOY...Cool!.
I get to this address and it looks like a giant body shop ( they where working on all the cop cars) I had no idea what the movie was or how they would use the stuff I delivered.
I couldn't wait to see it when it came out and when I found out what it was...I was proud of my big part.
The only person involved in the movie that I came in contact with was the prop manager but, I still have that connection.
Now you can tell your daughter you know somebody who was there.
