Difficult to answer, I've only really seen three... well, 4... of his movies so far.

I love each of his roles equally. Ghostbusters is hilarious and great fun to watch, and Blues Brothers is wonderfully endearing. Dragnet is good, too, though, and I know I'd feel safe around Sgt. Joe Friday as Aykroyd interprets him (though I'd be mortally frightened to get on his bad side *g*).

well i did'nt know that Aykroyd could be serious... untill i watched Dragnet... if you then look to his role in Loose Cannons.

Not counting BB or GB, I say mine is Getting Away With Murder. And no, not just because he does a sex scene (although it helps!)

You want to see serious? Check out his cameo in "House of Mirth" as the rich-guy villain! (But just rent it or get it at the library, because the rest of the film is awful and boring. Unless you also like Victorian lit, then you've probably survived the book and may enjoy it.) He's in the beginning third off and on, and a cameo toward the last half that's quick and mostly unimportant.

Getting Away With Murder? The one where he kills the old guy who thinks he was a nazi?
I think i have him on dvd, but under the name Guilty Or Not.

Yes. The Blues Brothers will always be my favourite movie of all time but Trading Places is also right up there. I remember seeing it at the theatre, and probably another 20 times since. The drunken Santa stuff was over the top!
