High Fidelity (2000 Stephen Frears)

From Nick Hornby's novel, adapted by Steve Pink, John Cusack, Scott Rosenberg and DV DeVincentis, film tells of avid list-maker Cusack's previous relationships whilst managing indie record store, run - as one client puts it - by 'elitist snobs' - Jack Black making an early impression; with Tod Louiso (Thank You For Smoking, Jerry Maguire).





Girls are Iben Hjejle, Lisa Bonet, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joan Cusack, Lili Taylor, Sara Gilbert. And Tim Robbins in film's funniest scene (confrontation in record store, which has been relocated to Chicago without fuss).

Strangely familiar like an old friend. Shot by Seamus McGarvey and edited by Mick Audsley.
