High Fidelity spoke to me in a big bad way when I was in my late 20s. Now, it's cringe as hell. But I still love it.

You didn't tell me what you did for a living for four sessions. Then you told me. And I said, "I don't want to work with you any more." And yet, you come back each week at the same time. That's a difficulty for me.

I live in Savannah, about 1/10th of a mile from the Mercer/Williams house. It’s a fantastic movie - my favorite movie filmed in Savannah, but I still put it in 3rd place of John Cusack movies. ‘Better Off Dead’ and ‘Grosse Pointe Blank’ are #1 & #2, in my opinion. But you chose wisely nonetheless.
Truth-out246810@reddit
I love the suspense created in Midnight—it’s brilliantly done. And even with what an ass Kevin Costner turned out to be, I’ll watch the movie again. The book was equally as good.

I have a soft spot for Serendipity - I just loved his chemistry w Kate Beckinsale. I’m a straight chick - but she is just objectively beautiful. And I’m a hopeless romantic so the whole premise of the movie got me. Of course One Crazy Summer and Better Off Dead more from childhood. Weird trivia - I read (or heard) somewhere that John Cusack makes a reference to Paul Newman in all of his movies. Can’t remember anything rn except for the Cool Hand Luke poster they pass on the street in Serendipity and he goes on about his how great a film it is. But this thread is making me want to revisit some movies that I have no memory of but def saw at some point (Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity, esp) to see if this little factoid is true. Don’t shoot the messenger if not…but def comment if you know of any other references. May not be every movie, just his later stuff, idk. A quick Google search revealed he was in a movie w Paul Newman though - Fat Man and Little Boy - which I definitely have not seen. I’ll add it to the list…

Met him once when he was in Australia, nice guy. I liked 2012, unpopular opinion maybe, but I'm a sucker for world ending movies.

Either the record store one or the assassin one. But the teenager tried to get a girlfriend ones were great too. I’m bad with names

I'm really sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.

It's gotta be better off dead. I'm always screaming 2 dollars at the Gen z folk to throw them off. Also a guilty pleasure is hot tub time machine.
PacRat48@reddit
Grosse Pointe Blank. The premise makes the movie, and not necessarily John Cusack
cash4chaos@reddit
Better off dead, and yes I want my $2
Weird-Girl-675@reddit
I’ll be laughed at, but Hot Tub Time Machine is my escape movie.
Love so many Cusack movies, but that one just always makes me feel better when I hate everything.
Serendipity a close second because it’s sweet.
summonthegods@reddit
Mine, too. Rob Corrdr, Craig Robinson, and Clark Duke make it a perfect ensemble.
Weird-Girl-675@reddit
I can’t hear Home Sweet Home without picturing Rob singing it now.

Grosse Point Blank. It has comedy, drama, action, a love story, and one hell of a fight scene between two accomplished martial artists.

None, fuck that leftist tool
Guilty-Pen1152@reddit
You can separate the actor from the role right? Tons of actors are fucked up even though they played some great roles. Like Kevin Spacey or Johnny Depp.
Prestigious-Box-6492@reddit
In his case nope, fuck him raw with a sandpaper dildo
Guilty-Pen1152@reddit
I get it though. Hate his politics but enjoyed his early roles. I think a lot of people, actors and others, have fallen into the pit of depravity. I hate his politics…especially his antisemitism and his pro Russia shit. If he hates America that much, let him defect and chill with Snowden or join Hamas.😒 But I still like his roles in 80s movies.

Grosse Point Blank. I finally watched War, Inc. though last month and thought it was terrible.

Def Grosse Point Blank.
TheAngelsCharlie@reddit
Grosse Pointe Blank was the better movie, but I liked the humor in Better Off Dead more. Either of these work for me, really.

I'm hard pressed to think of one I don't like.
That man was my lifeline through middle school and high school. I wanted to be somewhere in the Venn Diagram of Lloyd and Lane and Gibson. Really glad that not only I got the chance to tell him but that he heard it and responded kindly.

Money For Nothing. His brother is played by James Gandolfini, his best friend by Michael Rappaport. Michael Madsen in full Scagnetti mode. Great soundtrack. It really peels back the flesh of capitalism and screams.

At one time I would have said Grosse Pointe Blank but now I'd say Hot Tub Time Machine.
