3. The Blues Brothers -- John Belushi
   Said director John Landis, "The Blues Brothers is a true musical comedy. People burst into song and dance just as they do in the original American form invented on Broadway and glorified in Hollywood. But the story, the musical numbers and the comedy all have a very realistic look. The film is designed for music and is very stylized."
