I dislike both I think I am the only MB member to be completely nonplussed by High Fidelity but then I don't like Almost Famous either and they both feature music mad fans. Maybe I thought I was the only one so I can't relate?

I agree with you on High Fidelity. I dodn't hate it but it was just really meh. I haven't seen the other movie so I won't vote.

Ooh, another tough call. I love both movies but High Fidelity has more of a special place in my heart for many, many reasons.

High Fidelity: 1
Grosse Pointe Blank: 1

^Same here. Might be the first film I watched none stop on TV (it did play a big part in building the John Cusack crush). Had to re-watch it this year, as I didn't remember much about the music talk seeing it as a 10 year old kid.

High Fidelity: 2
Grosse Pointe Blank: 1

In my case it's because I spent most of 20s living in Chicago—right around the corner from his apartment in fact. So not only do I of course identify with a story about a lovelorn music geek, but I love seeing it all taking place around Chicago spots I know and love.

^ My friends who just recently watched the film (after I recommended it), are all about how Cusack's character reminded them of myself. Still can't see it.

Anyway, in some way, this film's a piece of my blurry childhood.

High Fidelity - 4
Gross Point Blank - 1

High Fidelity is one of my all time favorites. Gross Point Blank is really good too, though...I'm a big John Cusack fan. One Crazy Summer...even Hot Tub Time Machine. I love most of his movies.
