  • The Blues Brothers
Why the answer fits

The Blues Brothers is a 1980 musical comedy directed by John Landis. The genre clue points toward a film in which music matters, while the year and director narrow the field.

Belushi and Aykroyd provide the strongest cast connection to the title. Franklin and Charles give an additional way to check that connection through the film’s musical cast.
