John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd won critical acclain as Jake and Elwood Blues in the 1980 hit comedy The Blues Brothers. In the film the brothers were called upon for help by the "Penguin," a nun who ran the orphanage where they were reared. She sent the two out on a "mission from God" to raise money for the sisters and the children. With the help of a vast array of great musicians they challenged nazis, red necks, cops, redneck cops, a psycho chic, and'um a phone booth to save the day.
The Penguin might be proud of Jake and Elwood today as the film has been declared a "Catholic Classic." The Vatican's official newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, marked the 30th anniversary of the comedy musical with a full-page spread on the film. Recommending it to Catholics everywhere, along with other religious classics such as "The Passion of Christ" and "The Ten Commandments." Read all about it
