WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

Ghostbusters, nothing but net.
I actually agree. Never got all the love for Blues Brothers.

It makes you wonder how the holy hell they coordinated that, since that is likely the most coordination the L has ever seen.

I think people think of BLUE BROTHERS as a comedy, whereas really its a musical with some car chases in between each musical number. The casting in that movie is insane how many people they got in there. Paul Reubens even has a bit part . The soundtrack runs roughshod over fucking Ray Parker - that theme song got played to death in the 80s and I cringe every time I hear it.
GHOSTBUSTERS is good, but I gotta go with the cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, got cop tires, cop suspensions, and cop shocks.
BLUE BROTHERS.

But that honestly is the only scene I enjoyed. Ghostbusters is why movies are made. What a total treat, visually.
Not even.close.

You've put your finger on exactly what I dislike about The Blues Brothers. It is an awkward hybrid of comedy and concert video, and falls short on both counts because of the awkwardness. When I watch a movie, I expect to get a story, not a hodgepodge of random scenes with some music mixed in. I had this same issue with The Secret Policeman's Other Ball.

If that Crown Vic pulled up with the BB theme blasting and Jake and Elwood hopped out dancing, you would see four or five old men wobble over and clap excitedly off-beat while leaning on canes and walkers.
If the Ghostbusters hearse pulled up with their theme blasting and they hopped out, everyone- including beautiful women and children- would be excited and dancing.
That about says it all.

Blues Brothers for the following:
Soundtrack
Ray Charles
Aretha
John Lee Hooker
Both kinds of music, Country and Western.
Crashing through Pier One Imports.
The godfather of soul preaching one hell of a sermon.
Carrie Fisher on a hunt for vengeance
Running down Illinois Nazis
The bluesmobile
Cab Calloway
Ghostbusters, while fun, doesn't stack up.
Verdict: Blues Brothers

One of my favorite lines.
I should have dropped it in that Quote thread.

All of the music was great already. It didn't need a 2 hour SNL skit to get there.

True, but many people including myself hadn't heard it til they saw the movie. I'd be much more inclined to go search those tracks out than hearing Ray Parker for the first time.

I guess being the first SNL skit-to-movie is a plus or minus for Blues Brothers, depending on your opinion of SNL movies as a genre.
I think this is from Roger Ebert, but I could be wrong and I'm not looking it up; if you took the comedy out of Ghostbusters, you'd still have a pretty good horror movie. For me, Blues Brothers was some good-to-great music stuck in a too-long comedy skit, with a decent car chase stuck in there. Belushi and Ackroyd elevate the material, but only by so much. So, Ghostbusters for me.

The next one of these should be On Golden Pond versus Cocoon. I'm sure those old enough to vote Blues Brothers will appreciate something suited to their demographic.

Blues Brothers - 1980
Ghostbusters - 1984
Truly a generational gulf between the two.
This thread has reminded me of so many great Blues Brothers lines.
What are the big Ghostbusters quotes?
"Who you gonna call?"
"He slimed me."
Embarrassing..._but_ sells cereal and happy meals.

"Don't. Cross. The streams. It would be bad."
"We came! We saw! We kicked its ass!"
"Uh … if there's a steady paycheck in it? I'll believe anything you say."
"Okay, who brought the dog?"
"Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds."
"There is no Dana. Only Zuul."
"Are you the Gatekeeper?"
"Yes, it's true. This man has no dick."
"Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!"
"Are you a God?" "...No?"

"Right. We can do more damage that way."
