If you loved The Blues Brothers, try Blues Brothers 2000

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Blues Brothers 2000 has roughly 6.2× fewer votes than The Blues Brothers — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John Landis, and they both carry the playful, uplifting mood tags, and they sit in Action / Comedy / Crime / Music territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Blues Brothers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Blues Brothers 2000 is

John Landis returns for another lap with the boys in black hats. Elwood Blues must reunite his band for a battle of the bands while dodging the authorities. It's a sequel alright.
