Synopsis

Includes the John Belushi films The Blues Brothers and National Lampoon's Animal House. In The Blues Brothers, Jake Blues is released from prison and is reunited with his brother Jake. They visit the orphanage they grew up in--only to discover that it is in danger of being shut down by the county for failure to pay taxes. With a little help from a revival preacher, the Blues Brothers are divinely inspired to raise the $5,000 that the orphanage needs to stay open. On their mission from God, they must reunite their old band and raise the money by playing various gigs around town. The wild adventures of the band include dodging evil neo-Nazis, playing in a rowdy redneck bar, and attempting to escape the crazed ex-fiancee of Jake, who is out to see him dead. National Lampoon's Animal House is an outrageous, raunchy, screwball comedy, set in an American college that follows the hilarious adventures of the rowdy Delta fraternity.

As you can see these two picture DVD discs are packed full of extra feature presentations which enhance the enjoyment of both movies.
Both movies are rated for ages 15 years and over, and the picture and sound quality is excellent.
The price that amazon.co.uk are offering for this fine double DVD collection is quite amazing, and an absolute bargain.
Boy is this great - Say no more!

All time greats! 19 May 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Had to buy this double bill as loved these films back in the day. The Blues Brothers is just a classic, the car chase is fantastic and the music superb! Spot the big stars, Aretha, Twiggy,Chuka Khan,James Brown.....etc,etc. Everyone should see this film at least once, legendary! Animal House was even funnier after all these years, easy to see it set the trend for the likes of the American Pie films, so buy it and prepare for a great night in!
