Alright folks, it’s high time we had a high quality 8 word archive of movies. That is to say, give the title and the year it came out and then you have 8 words to sum it up.

Why 8? Because 7 was too hard and 9 was too easy. Or if you prefer, 7 8 9 (say it out loud… yes I’m a dork.)

So I’ll start.

**Blues Brothers** - Because they are on a mission from God.

Now you go.

Ack, sorry I didn’t know this first one went through. Mod would you please delete this thread. The title is incorrect for the body.

Thanks
