AMEN, FATHER:

Vatican calls ‘Blues Brothers’ a ‘Catholic classic’: Comedy joins ‘The Passion of The Christ’ among recommended films (Eric J. Lyman, 6/17/10, Hollywood Reporter )

When Jake and Elwood Blues, the protagonists in John Landis' cult classic “The Blues Brothers,” claimed they were on a mission from God, the Catholic Church apparently took them at their word.

On the 30th anniversary of the film's release, “L'Osservatore Romano,” the Vatican's official newspaper, called the film a “Catholic classic” and said it should be recommended viewing for Catholics everywhere.
