John Belushi Collection - Continental Divide/The Blues Brothers/National Lampoon's Animal House DVD

Films Comprise: Continental Divide:Ernie Souchak (John Belushi) is a celebrated Chicago Sun-Times columnist famous for his blistering political exposes. While his controversial reporting has earned him the respect of his editor Howard McDermott (Allen Goorwitz) and the admiration of a legion of fans it also earns him a trip to the hospital following a run-in with some disgruntled thugs. Suggesting he leave the city for a while McDermott sends Ernie to the Rockies to interview renowned ornithologist Nell Porter (Blair Brown) who studies the habits of the endangered... American bald eagle. It's a case of loathe at first sight when the chain-smoking big city Souchak meets the reclusive nature-lover Porter! But despite their differences Souchak's trip west soon turns into a fun-filled romantic adventure as these two trek through the mountains at the top of the world along the Continental Divide! The Blues Brothers:After the release of Jake Blues (John Belushi) from prison he and brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) go to visit the orphanage where they were raised by nuns. They learn that the church stopped its support and will sell the place unless the tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The brothers decide to raise the money by putting their blues band back together and staging a big gig. They may be on a ""mission from God"" but they're making enemies everywhere they go. Featuring performances by some of blues finest James Brown Cab Calloway Ray Charles Aretha Franklin and co-starring John Candy Carrie Fisher Henry Gibson and Steve Lawrence. Animal House:One of the most popular movie comedies of all time is also the film that made food fights an art form and John Belushi a star. This raunchy screwball comedy directed with madcap zest by John Landis (The Blues Brothers An American Werewolf In London) offers a relentless spoof of 1960s college life by following the hilarious adventures of the Delta fraternity. There's nothing this motley collection of students won't do to get the best of Dean Wormer who secretly conspires to revoke Delta's charter. In addition to Belushi as the guitar bashing beer can smashing garbage eating Bluto Blutarsky the outstanding cast includes head skirt-chaser Tim Matheson innocent freshman Tom Hulce and Stephen ""Flounder"" Furst along with Otis Day and the Knights with their showstopping performance of 'Shout'.
