Here we go...
1) Animal House (1978) - I didn't like it when I saw it as a kid but then when I saw it later and understood the jokes it was lots of fun
2) Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) - often forgotten he directed this lots of fun
3) The Blues Brothers (1980) - chaotic, hilarious, musical, gosh there must've been cocaine
4) An American Werewolf in London (1981) - again didn't get this til later, had to appreciate it was a horror film not a comedy
5) Trading Places (1983) - smart, funny, always lovedit
6) Innocent Blood (1992) - flopped but I think it's great, sexy, scary
7) Spies Like Us (1985) - clever, subversive, Chase and Aykroyd are a good team
8) Coming to America (1988) - fun, elaborate comedy
9) Into the Night (1985) - flawed, I can see why it flopped, but full of wonderful things
10) Thriller (1984) -splendid video
The film I wish he'd directed: Dick Tracy.
