The Catholic Church has now deemed The Blues Brothers as a ‘Catholic Classic’.
While The Blues Brothers marks Jake and Elwood’s only big screen adventure together, Dan Aykroyd did return with a sequel called Blues Brothers 2000 in 1998, with John Goodman stepping in as a replacement for Jake, though he played an entirely new character.
Some have declared watching The Blues Brothers a religious experience, but it was never released or promoted as a faith-based movie.
The Blues Brothers is far from the only movie the Vatican has recommended.
