Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
John Cusack and his sister Joan, Minnie Driver, Alan Arkin, Jeremy Piven, Dan Akroyd: this is a high-concept nineties rom-com with recognisable faces and a rocking soundtrack compiled by The Clash’s Joe Strummer. The film ends up feeling quite laid-back, with Cusack’s hitman cruising around his hometown before the high-school reunion forces him to question the whole trajectory of his life.
Raising Arizona (1987)
The Coen brothers reigned in their cerebral cinema style for this oddly sweet crime comedy, starring Nic Cage and Holly Hunter as a serial thief and cop who yearn for a baby together. The dialogue is unforgettable, written in protagonist H.I.’s distinct regional dialect, and a greasy supporting turn from John Goodman brings some old-fashion Coen chaos into the wholesome tale of parenthood and destiny.
