Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2001)

John Cusack plays the owner of a record store. The greatest sounds on vinyl in one shop. He has two part-time employees(Jack Black and Todd Louiso)that spend most of their time arguing about music or insulting the customers. Cusack is a little perplexed in an obsessive compulsive sort of way. His obsession is organizing things into a Top 5 list. Favorite ballads; rock tunes; break up songs; oh...the thing that really occupies his mind is his unsuccessful relationships, thus the Top 5 breakups.
This is a wonderful movie. Not a real coming of age flick; but a movie about emotions and the fetish of most young men, to hold in your hands the music that you cherish. Each and every record has a personal story and meaning to the beholder.
No argument, this fits into the Top 5 John Cusack movies. Jack Black is a scene stealer deluxe, especially in the finale. Also in the cast are Lisa Bonet, Tim Robbins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Iben Hjejle and Joan Cusack.
