I saw this movie when it was released in 1980. I loved it then & I love it now. Now being a 13 year old at the time I had no idea who half of the singers were. I herd of Aretha Frankiln but this was 1980 there was no Internet & no MTV. When the credits rolled and I saw the waitress was played by Aretha Franklin I said "oh so that's Arertha Franklin".
Now when the movie was shown on HBO a year or so later I saw it again & again for about a month. Now its has over 20 plus years since I last saw the movie that is until this weekend.
I must say this movie holds up well. It is still funny and the music is better then ever. The DVD I have was the 25th Anniversary Edition. The extras are good but I was hoping for an audio commentary. The extended edition is a thrill to see because it is nice to see new footage to any movie that I enjoy. I hope that in 2 years we get another edition this time with an audio commentary. I am sure John Landis would be very entertaining.
