Great great reaction. Can we get Daniel and Sam to react to "Weekend at Bernies" guys??? This was another forgotten gem but this was from the late 80s!!!!

TBR Schmitt

Yay so glad, David! -Sam

Darin Tomack

A hitman who doesn't want to do it anymore? Have you guys seen Barry?

David Wilkins

Bing! Bing! Bing! Popcorn! This is a very fun movie. Great cast, good story, good setting, and a great soundtrack. Really enjoying the results of the monthly drawing.

TBR Schmitt

Omg what a compliment! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

TBR Schmitt

Class of '86 here. I love this movie so much. I am so glad you guys got to experience it.

Seeing Joan Cusack in this has reminded me of Arlington Road (1999), which also stars Tim Robbins and Jeff Bridges. It's a great little crime/mystery/thriller, and perfect for reactors. It's been unfairly forgotten, in my opinion.

Guy Gordon

Identity is great. I'd also put in a plug for the high underappreciated The Ice Harvest with Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton, directed by Harold Ramis. Really dark and great comedy.

Come on, Sam and TBR, admit it... your relationship is just as cute as Martin and Debbie.

I was the class of '87, but we never had any reunions since my graduating class only had 13 people. :)

Such a great, interesting, unusual, fun movie. And awesome soundtrack to boot. I never get tired of this one.

James Miley

A great reaction and a great film. Had never heard of this one before.

Great Reaction

Tony Rogers

Oh, almost forgot another great one. Eight Men Out about the White Sox throwing the 1919 world series.

John Cusack is awesome. I follow him on Twitter and he seems like a generally good person, which is cool. My favorites of his: Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer (also with a young Demi Moore), Hot Tub Time Machine, High Fidelity, Runaway Jury, Sixteen Candles (small part, but a great one), and of course this one.

Tyler Foster

Yes, I would love to see Romy and Michele on the channel as well as a counterpart to this.

Tyler Foster

One other time John Cusack was on the channel: you didn't seem to recognize him in a fairly significant supporting role in The Thin Red Line. Near the end, his character gets promoted by Nick Nolte's general. He seems ambivalent about it, because the troops need water more than he needs a promotion, but Nolte relents and orders the water.

Paul Cox

Yeah I'm sad they'll have to edit around so much of the soundtrack for YouTube. It's rock solid!

Say Anything is the quintessential John Cusack movie.

Steve Mercier

"They all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they've all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? 'I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?'" Fucking love this movie. Spectacular choice for Schmitthead Monthly Movie Drawing.

Weirdly there were two reunion movies released in 1997; the other one is Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, which is great too

Jen Barnes

Such a fun movie and the soundtrack of my youth. I was class of '88 so the music makes me very nostalgic. My favorite Cusack movies are Say Anything, Better Off Dead, Identity, Eight Men Out, and High Fidelity. Also, I love love love seeing Joan and Ann Cusack. They are always top notch.

Odd Thomas

Yes! Identity is my second favourite John Cusack movie after GBP

Florian Meier

Great Film !! Mangold is a good director ... Like him since Cop Land

Future Boy

Now I want more John Cusack! My first recommendation would be Identity (2003). It's a great mind-bending mystery/thriller that I think you guys would love. I think Sam, in particular, would love trying to work out the crime/mystery aspect of it. It's also got a great supporting cast, including Ray Liotta.

David Martin

A family affair. Joan Cusack as Marcella, Ann Cusack as Amy (drunk girl), Bill Cusack as the waiter at the Hippo Club. A downside, though. Just try answering when asked, "What kind of movie is it?".
