I used to watch it every 4th of July until my grandson was born on the 4th 5 years ago, and now I spend my 4th at his birthday party for the day. But I love this movie and it’s definitely a classic.

The Dixie Square Mall, near Harvey.
Some friends and a few hundred others watched the filming of the gas station scene on Route 59 with Tiwggy.
The station went up in flames, but not used in the movie.
RIP sir. A Connecticut regular w/ bar bands, I think I may have seen him once their, small bar east of Suffield.

He was 88? My word.
“I ‘ll have two fried chickens and a coke!”
Noa coke. Pepsi.
Cheeburger Cheeburger!
Has it been almost 40 years? OMG!

LOL
The Nun scenes!
Great stuff.
I have the LP from back in the day, then got the cassette, and then got the CD. Now that’s a great soundtrack.
I always say Trump is on a mission from God.
Then I say “I’m not kidding.”
Another great scene. What a great movie. He does some kind of miraculous flips all the way down the church isle.
Heck I am a woman and I won’t see Titanic. Way too sappy. Back when Titanic was out, I marveled at how women where all into Leo! He was a kid! I thought it was ridiculous.
Ha Ha,,, forgot that line.
The whole movie is full of gems.
Belushi and Akroyd were pure genius in those roles.
A friend and I went to see it the week it first opened-——all we did was laugh when we left———a dreadful movie——and we are both women.

Did anyone mention The Curl Up and Dye beauty salon yet?
Carrie Fisher nailed the crazy ex-girlfriend role.
