A mission from God, one of the best chase scenes in movie history, and a final performance of “Jailhouse Rock”-with a little help from James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway and Ray Charles-makes this one of our favorite fictional bands of all time.-Bonnie Stiernbergīased on the true story of The Washington Post reporters who uncovered the Watergate scandal, All the President’s Men paints a portrait of the great lengths to which Woodward (Robert Redford) and Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) went to expose Nixon-including risking their jobs, their reputations and their lives.-Caitlin Peterkin They don’t call him “Joliet Jake” for nothing: when we first meet John Belushi’s character in The Blues Brothers, he’s being released from Joliet Prison and picked up in an old cop car by his brother Elwood, who promptly informs him of his plans to get the band back together.
