1941 (1979)

Aykroyd's breakthrough movie was Steven Spielbergs most disasterous flop - a hectic look at the days after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Convinced the Japanese will bomb them, a small coastal town in California goes on panic alert when the US army all but invade themselves. Aykroyd is one of the privates partnered with, for the first time, Belushi.

Bunn - I remember seeing this as a really small boy and not entirely understanding it that much. Haven't seen it since (Dave, do we own this?) so I think I'll hold my opinion.

Dave - No, we don't own it although the fact we don't is a travesty in itself. It's really bloody funny - ferris wheels rolling down streets, houses falling off cliffs, naked women having gynacology inspections by submarines. Comedy at it's peek. If it wasn't dickhead Spielberg it would be a work of genius.
