A great friend helps you move a body on a bloody couch, brings the shovels, gloves, bags of lye, rope, and the van, drives with you to the desert, and helps you bury everything. But a best friend wakes you the next day after a bender to drink coffee and talk on your brand-new couch. ("Best Friends" by Francisco A. Ojeda)

Friends? That just makes more work in the end.

[@clevelandcbi]

Gives me Raising Arizona vibes, which is a good thing.

[@clevelandcbi]

@@petergarayt9634 Good one 👍👍

[@billbabcock1833]

Cusack is actually a multi black belt holder. The actor playing the European assassin who fought Cusack is his real life martial arts instructor.

[@davismccardle1]

The assassin was an extra in Road House. You can see him in the dealership right after the monster truck rolls through.

[@V00D007]

Benny "The Jet" Urquidez

[@NavsangeetSingh]

That's Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez. He has a crazy good fight scene with Jackie Chan in Wheels on Meals.

[@itsonlysound]

Even Danny Trejo said Cusack is someone you wouldn't want to mess with. He's taller than you'd think as well - I met him in Belfast once and he's a big guy - over 6'1 at least.

[@clevelandcbi]

"What if your dad comes in?" "You can give him one too." - For whatever reason thats my favorite line in the movie 🤣🤣🤣. Always got me laughing at the wrongest time at my GF's house.

[@jimrobinson9979]

All the dialogue in this film is so fantastic, but I especially love the Martin / Grocer scenes and the Doctor Oatman scenes ("And I know where you live.", "Oh, now. See. That wasn’t a nice thing to say. That wasn’t designed to make me feel good.") 😂

[@LordVolkov]

Every scene with Alan Arkin is a treat. RIP He also plays a funny psychologist in the very odd Full Moon High

[@MikeB12800]

“It is I, Sydney Feldman” 😂

"You're a handsome devil. WHat's your name."

[@slchance8839]

"Me? Go G? On you?"

[@slchance8839]

"For awhile. For....awhile."

[@ProgressiveRoxx]

I love the recurring line "It's not me". At first Blank says it to signify that he is not responsible because he is just the weapon that someone else has hired. When Debbie finds him kneeling over a dead body he says it again and it seems desperate, like a cry for help. Dialogue throughout the movie drops hints about the drugs that Blank used to take (and Grocer still does) to numb emotions and supress empathy, it is easy to see how when he stops taking them, Martin could have this realisation that by living the life of a hitman he is betraying who he truly is. As he puts it: "It's not me".

[@terri2494]

And Alan Arkin tells him to take a deep breath and say, “This is me breathing.” Martin does so, then looks in the mirror and says, “You’re a handsome devil. What’s your name?” Throughout the movie he’s reconnecting with his former self, and then he is faced with the reality of what he’s become when Debi is horrified at finding him with a dead body. Great scriptwriting.

[@AuspexAO]

@@terri2494 It's also what his mother says to him when she "meets" him at the old folks home. He's no shaken by the fact that she can't recognize her own son, because her own son can't recognize himself either.

I love John cusack doing movies with his sister. High fidelity is another fun movie.

She was also good in Toys with Robin Williams.

[@user-np2dp8ck4j]

In addition to his sister Joan as his assistant, their sister Ann plays a classmate, the drunk one they run into at the bar.

[@ps5392]

John was born in 1966…this movie came out in 1997 making him around 30/31 when he filmed it. Not much of a stretch.

[@adgato75]

Dan Ackroyd says "Popcorn". It is just a silly thing he says to reference the way he shoots. He likes to shoot 2 guns at once, until they're empty. It makes a pop-pop-pop-pop , like popcorn lol

[@paulhewes7333]

As a teen-adult in the 1990s, this is a classic movie. The soundtrack was a lot of stuff from my youth. -those old CRT televisions had big capacitors and a heavy screen so if you got hit in the head hard enough with it, it would kill you, not stun you.

[@3DJapan]

It's really hard to just pick up one of those. I moved one upstairs to my dad's room and we had to carry it together.

[@vandermitch5146]

yep fixing a 32'' one , i ground myself and fly 3 feet back in a wall Stunning me Hard

[@pen1208]

It always makes me laugh when I see younger folks not understand how dense, heavy and packed with sharp things TVs once had. LOL. They seem to think it is hollow for some reason many times. NOPE. All kinds of crap poking all over the place and if those were smashed on to a head, the insides would break and have even more sharper objects inside to die on. LOL. What is funny though is those CRT screens where NOT EASY to break. Real life it would most likely simply knock someone out and not actually break at all. Thrown onto the ground, sure. However, not someones soft head.

[@clevelandcbi]

Saw one fall off a wall at a pizza place. Sounded like a damn bomb went off when it shattered on a stool. My mom literally screamed and threw her plate. Got pissed at my late dad cuz he couldn't quit laughing.

[@nirfz]

The CRT means there's a glass tube-cube combination that has a vacuum inside. That's the glasspart and it needs to be quite sturdy to withstand the pressuredifference. Getting that glasspart broken over the head should be enough to "past time" someone like in the movie.

[@Khay-77]

Better Off Dead is a cult classic with John Cusack. An underrated 80's gem.

[@LordVolkov]

The summer/winter combo of One Crazy Summer and Better Off Dead was a staple of my childhood.

[@HappyHarryHardon]

And One Crazy Summer.

[@naedynot1]

[@MichaelTrogdon1990]

John Cusack was in Con Air. You watched that one last year.

[@gregwodzynski941]

That's what I thought

[@jimtatro6550]

This is definitely one of my favorite John Cusack movies. Everybody is great in this, but especially Alan Arkin and Dan Aykroyd.😂

[@royw-g3120]

"You have my blessing!" is one of the best lines ever!

[@tomcody2203]

"That guy's not much of a killer"?? Oh yes, he is. That's martial arts champion BENNY 'THE JET' URQUIDEZ, an American former professional kickboxer, martial arts choreographer and actor. Urquidez is also known for once holding the rare achievement of six world titles in five different weight divisions, and remained largely undefeated in his 27-year career. He also had great fights against Jackie Chan in Wheels on Meals (1984) and Dragons Forever (1988). He was also a fight coreographer on "Road House" (1989).

[@steveclevenger5826]

I adore this movie. The writing, the acting, the direction, the action scenes. And the awesome chemistry between Martin and Debbie is insane.

[@MarkM430]

Dark Comedy done right. One of the best.

[@richardyoung3462]

Not really an incinerator. It's a furnace. It's used to heat the building and the water system for hot water. Older schools, especially in the northern US, used them for a long time.

[@dnllrnt]

The actor who plays The Ghoul, Vincent, is Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. He's mentioned in Say Anything, starring John Cusack. He was also in one of the best filmed fight scenes of all time in Wheels on Meals with Jackie Chan.

[@LordVolkov]

Benny was also John's kickboxing trainer and choreod their hand to hand showdown. Benny is in another Jackie picture, Dragons Forever, and has good guy role in Force Five where he gets to show off his skills.

[@adgato75]

@@LordVolkov He trained John Cusack in kickboxing for "Say Anything" , even though Cusack is never shown kickboxing. He has studied under him ever since. He's quite accomplished

Easily one of my favourite movies of all time. Tons of fun dialogue, sharp story, good pacing, good performances, JOAN CUSACK being iconic. It's really fun and very rewatchable.

[@Daveyboy100880]

Yay! Thankyou Mike Adams - I’ve been hoping the Schmitts would get to Grosse Pointe Blank eventually, and it was worth the wait! It’s one of my all-time favourites, a hidden gem that from the very first needle drop of “I Can See Clearly Now” had me 100% hooked. The world is split into those who love GPB and those who have never heard of it, so it’s always a thrill to see new people experience it! And yes, John Cusack really did kick ass! He’s a highly accomplished kick-boxer and the guy he was fighting was his instructor, legendary martial artist Benny “The Jet” Urquidez. I once watched the movie with a friend who’s a black-belt in karate, and when it got to the fight he said “Woah, this is REALLY good…”

[@richblainebrazzle]

My wife and I quote this movie all the time... Especially, " For a while..."

[@TrocarSlushWeasel]

John Cusack was doing the fight scene in the high school against his long-time kickboxing teacher, Benny Urquidez. Cusack had a great run of breezy comedies in the mid 80s that are well worth watching, from The Sure Thing to Hot Pursuit.

[@breeze1138]

One of my favorite movies! The street where the radio station is actually in the L.A. area. I know this because I live near that street. The buildings are still there but not all the shops. The assassin he fights was his kickboxer trainer Benny Urquidiez

[@treetopjones737]

The film was shot around L.A. - outside HS scene is Marshall High, used in many things. The tiled kitchen counter is style of many kitchens in L.A.

[@chefskiss6179]

This soundtrack was EVERYwhere! So good! It gave people so many good ideas for their own mix-cd's. You have such a great gig getting to discover little gems like this (like when you got into Midnight Run and Ronin). So many more to look forward to...

[@MysterClark]

This movie always has a special place in my heart because Grosse Pointe isn't all that far from me. About a 20 minute drive. I loved John Cusack growing up so this was a perfect mix for me. I loved the movie since the first time I saw it as a kid. Glad you guys had fun with it too. I think the humor is right up my alley.

[@anonymes2884]

The stuff with the convenience store clerk always makes me smile. It feels at least partly improvised and there's something comedic but also totally real to his reaction to the Ultimart blowing up. (so many great moments throughout alongside great chemistry between Cusack and Driver though in fairness, i'm pretty sure Minnie Driver could have great chemistry with a tree :)

[@Sebuin]

Better Off Dead is the greatest of the early Kusak films in my humble opinion. Nope not humble, it's his best.

[@frankrodriguez2999]

I liked Hot Pursuit(1987)

[@mrkelso]

Say Anything for me.

[@d.w.strangeman4963]

'The Sure Thing' is one of my favourites, but 'Say Anything' is the best. Horrible thing to say but I've broken up with girls for not liking that film!😂

You know John hated Better Off Dead, right? He literally walked out of a screening when he was filming One Crazy Summer.

[@aaronbourque5494]

Say Anything. "Don't be a guy. Be a man."

[@THOMMGB]

When this movie came out, the critics said this movie couldn't figure out what it was: a romantic comedy, a thriller or what. That threw the audience off quite a bit.

[@chriswhinery925]

@@broodhunter21 As usual, critics don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

[@SaiyanHeretic]

Fun fact about the car scene between John Cusack and Jeremy Piven! They were directed to play the exchange three ways: understated, conversational, and over-the-top. In the edit, the first and last takes were combined to drive a nail onto how ridiculous the conversation is. Also, them laughing at the end wasn't in the script, that's John and Jeremy corpsing (i.e. breaking character).

[@dzl8596]

Love this movie. Cusack is cool and Driver is adorable. Full of great lines too. My favorite has to be, "Make this gun work." And there's, "You're a psychopath." "No, no, a psychopath kills for no reason. I killed for money."

Grosse Point is not really what you could call a small town. It’s a burb of Detroit and a relatively large town/city. I used to live there and my grandparents graduated from Grosse Point high. This movie is absolutely hilarious and is more of a cult classic.

[@slchance8839]

[@miller-joel]

[@Wrencher_86]

1408 is one of my favorite movies. But asking for a reaction is tricky because the only version that's any good is the theatrical version, which is really hard to find now. You are correct, however, it's a great movie and a wonderful performance from Cusack.

[@monsoon1234567890]

I love it, but it really does depend on which ending you get.

@@petercofrancesco9812 He was -558 years old in 1408.

[@SeanHendy]

One of my all time favourites. If you grew up in the 80's and 90's then John Cusack starred in a string of teen favourites, such as One Crazy Summer, The Sure Thing, Say Anything (with one of THE most iconic 80's movies moments ever), The Grifters, and many more. But Grosse Pointe Blank was the epitome of dark comedy movies of that era, and it's difficult to think of many that rival it since. Dan Akroyd is just genius casting, as is John's sister Joan, and Minnie Driver. Just a great combination of talent.

[@georgemcdaniel4654]

Real life brother and sister actors working together in one movie. Now that's some thing. Just like the bridges brothers.

[@djinnee1792]

If the Schmitts like, or react to, westerns they should watch Hollywood's ultimate brother film, The Long Riders. Movie is about the James/Younger Gang with all named siblings played by actual brothers.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I have a soft spot in my heart for this movie. Grew up in the 80s, John Cusack and Mini Driver have such great chemistry they should have gotten married for real.
