Let's face it- most of us above the age of 25 have VHS tapes of movies that we love that, well, would sure look better on DVD. And this is one of those movies that is great for any DVD collection. What better way to find it than on eBay! This is a funny and romantic tale with some great 80's music (Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" being blasted out of a boom box being held above John Kusak's head-- a classic moment). DVD's are priced at a point where it almost makes more sense to buy rather than rent in many cases, especially 'library titles' and I would recommend using eBay for that purpose.
A personal fav. Cameron Crowe's best movie, his most human and well-made film. Great screenplay, not perfect, but really driven by real and multi-dimensional lead characters. Cusack is awesome. John Mahoney is able to overcame the flaws in his character to deliver a masterful performance. And the message about love totally rocks! Nothing better than the scene of Cusack holding up the boombox or the breakup scene where he slows down in his Malibu and then parks the car, takes the key out, and says "Wait, what did we just decide?" to offer real slices of life. "I'm looking for a dare to be great situation" has got to be one of the all time best movie lines. No "English tips" here, just a great movie!
If you ask me to name one of my ten top movies of all time, this movie is the first one that comes to mind. I just absolutely love it! Who wouldn't? The film is so full of memorable scenes that you just cant forget. Of course there's the famous scene where Lloyd holds up the boom box playing Peter Gabriel's "In your Eyes" just outside Diane's window. There are also lots of other moments too. One of my favorites is the one in the diner where Diane tells Lloyd that she just wants to be friends. Lloyd replies that they can just be friends - friends with potential. I can't forget that line, it was so witty, you just got to fall in love with Lloyd Dobler! That's what's great about this film. It has one of the best written characters that I've seen - wonderfully portrayed by John Cusack. Lloyd Dobler is this ordinary young guy, who doesn't think much of his future, but knows what he wants in life - to be with Diane Court. He manages to do that in the course of the film and does it quite well. His sincere affection for Diane is the one that makes her fall in love with him and as well as make you fall in love with him as well. This movie has a lot of quotable quotes which is too many to mention ( you might want to click on the additional information for the DVD on this page as some quotes get mentioned here). If you are a true fan, you'll definitely want to own the DVD copy. Aside from deleted scenes, the DVD also includes a commentary by John Cusack, Ione Skye and Cameron Crowe with lots of trivia! One of the best films ever. Thank you Cameron Crowe, for making this one!Read full review
