No movie so encapsulates music snobbery quite as well as High Fidelity.

No movie so encapsulates music snobbery quite as well as High Fidelity. The quippy dialogue owes most of its genius to Nick Hornby, the British writer responsible for the book version, but it's actors like John Cusack and Jack Black who make the delivery so memorable. Put on your Kathleen Turner Overdrive vinyl and let's get this party started with your favorite quotes.

  • "A Cosssssssby sweater." — Barry
  • "Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?" — Rob
  • "Is it better to burn out or fade away?" — Barry

How-To: Decorate With Old Windows

Ever since I saw Marie De Salle's apartment in High Fidelity, I've been obsessed with the idea of reusing old windows in interior design. While this look is often given too much of a shabby chic bent, it can be integrated into any decorating scheme with a little care. One word of warning: when using old windows for decoration, you should make sure they aren't painted with lead paint.

What's Your Favorite John Cusack Movie?

After seeing the trailer for 1408, a new horror film starring John Cusack, I have to admit that the man's getting older, and it's starting to show.

After seeing the trailer for 1408, a new horror film starring John Cusack, I have to admit that the man's getting older, and it's starting to show. And while I found the trailer to be effectively creepy, I must say I prefer my John Cusack when he's being funny.

Whether he's holding a boom box in front of a girl's house or making "Top 5" lists for everything in his life, John Cusack with his sad-puppy face just gets me every time. For better or worse, he's had a pretty extensive career so far, but just so this list doesn't get too long, I've narrowed down the choices to some of his better-known roles.

It's hard to pick just one, isn't it?
