Trading Places (1983)

Aykroyd's first hit film teamed him with then up and coming star Eddie Murphy. Aykroyd is the rich buinessman who unwittingly takes the position of street hussler Murphy who gains Aykroyds wealth as part of bet between scheming millionaires Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy.

Bunn - Very good movie. It's not, however, one I keep going back to and watching which is what I really want from an Aykroyd movie. It's funny, yes, Aykroyd is very good in it, yes but it doesn't touch Neighbors for pure laugh out loud comedy. Sorry Dave!.

Dave - I love this movie - everything about is perfect from Denholm Elliots butler to Jamie Lee Curtis' tits. It's worth seeing just for a drunken Aykroyd smuggling a kipper into his Santa Claus beard. And it's funny, so so funny.
