Neighbors (1912) -- In John Belushi’s last film he plays the quiet nebbish to Dan Aykroyd’s manic next door neighbor. It’s suburban warfare in this comedy where everyone’s sanity is up for grabs.
"Saturday Night Live" (1975): Season 3: Episode 13 -- A bittersweet portrait of John as an old man
"Saturday Night Live" (1975): Season 34: Episode 7 -- A backstage visit with Sen. John and Cindy McCain
Animal House (1978) -- At a 1962 College, Dean Vernon Wormer is determined to expel the Delta House Fraternity, but those roughhousers have other plans for him.
1941 (1941) -- Spielberg directs this bizarre disaster comedy where John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd square off against a Japanese sub that’s Hollywood bound. Think “Animal House” with artillery.

Additional Details

Other Works:
His final filmed performance was a comedic death scene for the comedy series _"Police Squad!" (1982)_ (av). When he died soon after filming it, the producers chose not to air the sequence out of respect. Before "Police Squad!" was released on DVD a search was made for that footage so it could be put on the DVD as an extra, but it could not be found and is now presumed lost. more
