High Fidelity Opening

[@albatroce2324]

Im feeling basic today. Top five movie openings.

[@7star7storm7]

1 The Goonies 2 Back to the Future 3 Neverending Story 4 Ghosbusters 5 Indiana Jones and the temple of doom 😉

[@robertdervin]

Aliens Indiana Jones & Temple of Doom Last Samurai Dances with Wolves The Hurt Locker

[@WhirlingMusic]

That's a tough one. Of all the things I rank in my life, I never thought about ranking opening scenes. I can't even think of any.

[@Jameswilllee]

Jaws Pulp Fiction Goodfellas Saving Private Ryan The Dark Knight

[@rickybug53]

The Godfather & Miller's crossing Indiana Jones Goodfellas Citizen Kane

[@Will-rr1uz]

“If you really wanted to mess me up you should have got to me earlier!” Such a great line kind of summing up the pain that those early heart breaks and what not do to you. Even those more mature relationships don’t have the same sting as the early breakups

[@rustycageandrun]

Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

[@koneking2569]

This movie introduced my to 13th Floor Elevators and I am forever thankful.

[@andrehajime5039]

Me too!!!!

[@Ton_____]

Both this movie and "nuggets" introduced me to them

[@adidasairking8927]

Omg same this song is fucking amazing

[@adidasairking8927]

@SharrelWright indeed

[@caseyquintin5774]

Beta Band, Cibo Matto (Butter poster in the shop)... there are really too many to count. This movie and Grosses Pointe Blank have fantastic soundtracks.

[@WhiskyYeah]

This movie introduced me to Belle and Sebastian and I am forever thankful.

[@blobcity3591]

stay loose

[@asadist469]

That’s unfortunate cuz it sucks assssss

[@TheMerseySound1]

I remember watching this at my friend's house and at the time I didn't know anyone else who listened to 13th Floor Elevators. When this opening scene started, I thought I'd turned on my iPod blaring 'You're Gonna Miss Me' and frantically tried to turn it off. But no, it was the film. I couldn't believe I was hearing 13th Floor Elevators being used in a movie

[@iloopedaround2798]

I felt the exact same way, as soon as I heard the song being played I knew the movie was gonna have an incredible soundtrack

[@lisaorlando1224]

When I think about all the BTS songs that are about breaking away from fake love, and add the probability that none of the boys have ever been in a serious relationship, this scene comes to mind. All they had to do was listen to the music, and recognize the misery, and decide real love isn’t miserable. So I would guess that they would answer this question by saying, the music came first, and we got it, so we chose to warn our fans about the misery.

[@cian6813]

Did anyone else worry that the tv show could affect how they felt about the movie? But then they enjoyed the series but it couldn't take away from this masterpiece?

[@nicola5659]

Didn't know there was a series

[@Maxid1]

I had the novel cinematic good fortune to read this book not long before seeing the movie. I can truly say, I love both. It also sent me on a binge read of everything written by Nick Hornby. This may have been one of the books I read while sitting in Borders. This and Christopher Moores book: Lamb. After reading both for free I was so taken by the writing, I bought them and, eventually, everything else they had available in print.

[@chadreilly1695]

I've read all of Christopher Moores works. Check out Fool if you haven't already. Up there with Lamb as my two favorites.

[@choongching]

What come first? The music of the misery?

[@MeansofIntrigue]

*or

[@lilmissrockchick4962]

The way he raises his eyebrows after he asks 'Am I miserable because I listen to pop music?' has me in stitches 😂

[@GaspardHausers]

Why is Cusack so intriguing on camera just talking to himself or the camera? Probably my favorite recent actor in this way.

[@RalphvsSam]

Fairwell Roky and Thankyou.

[@supercat4401]

this is me in a 50 year old male form with a funny haircut

[@kes3959]

John Cusack was 34 when this was made. I have not read the book, but that's in the age range I would consider that character to be.

[@abehambino]

1:00 to be fair rob, A LOT of people have brought this up. I mean like with every single new musical trend in history!

[@ImYourHuckleberry_29]

What is the opening song?

[@DiamondDave10]

Love everything about the flick…except…the mix take at the end. There are a thousand songs I would have used besides the 349th best offering by Stevie Wonder.

[@Channel-lb1is]

“I Believe” is beautiful love ballad (by Stevie Wonder, who is a musical legend), and it’s a great song that his girlfriend, Laura, liked very much, so Rob included it on his compilation music tape for her. Makes sense to me. ☺️

[@phildirt3]

How much did they pay roky for the opening tune?

[@bluemystic7501]

I saw this movie in the theater years ago, i never loved it.

[@supercat4401]

[@zidneya]

Who the heck is Jackie Allen? I don't remember her story in the film.

[@seniorordenanza2387]

She was just a filler. Rob says later in the film he added her cause he didn’t want to add Laura. But after finding out she was with Ian he added her to the Top 5.

[@dividingpicnic]

She’s in the book, but got left out of the movie.

[@kole1180]

2:02

[@stuckinthestation]

all these years since i first saw it, i've really really really been hoping, by the time they eventually get together again, she got rid of that miserable SAAB

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

what does thisblist have to do with a desert island lol? if you were on a desert island and bring 5 breakups with you to think about??

[@lilmissrockchick4962]

He's doing it in the style of a desert island discs list in which a person chooses a certain number of songs that either or the most memorable or most meaningful to them. For Rob, he's being ironic because the breakups have been memorable for the wronb reasons.

[@michaelwhitmore5259]

So, if I read this all correctly, you were perfectly happy running a record store in a shitty neighborhood. And then, she made you feel like shit because you didn't aspire to something she wanted? Am I reading that right? So...

[@phototristan]

Sorry but Sarah Kendrew is not a believable name.
