RIP and God Bless him.
BB is one of my all time most favorite movies. It is very near and dear to my heart and all the songs too. Like others said here, still try to watch it at least once a year - at LEAST!

We lived in the Chicago area when they were filming the movie and there were frequent clips on the news. As I recall, the mall was scheduled to be demolished.
