  • The Blues Brothers may be one of our favorite films of all time (and we suspect if you are reading this, one of yours!), but this was added at the last minute, as we never really knew until recently that John Lee Hooker had a character name. We saw Hooker in an extended cameo where he sang one of his signature songs (Boom Boom Boom) on the street of Chicago, in a spot that did nothing to further the plot along, but was a delightful segment nonetheless. Now if only Aretha Franklin qualified!

  • Why you should vote:: This is a legendary film for our purposes.
