High Fidelity (2000) - Synopsis
Rob Gordon (JOHN CUSACK) is the owner of a semi-failing record store in Chicago where he sells music the old fashioned way-on vinyl. He's a self-professed music junkie who spends his days at Championship Vinyl with his two employees Dick (TODD LOUISO) and Barry (JACK BLACK).
Although they have an encyclopedic knowledge of pop music and are consumed with the music scene and creating their all-time favourite top-five lists of subject specific songs, it's of no help to Rob whose needle skips the love groove when his long-time girlfriend Laura (IBEN HJEJLE) walks out on him.
As Rob examines his failed attempts at romance and happiness, he finds himself being dragged kicking and screaming into adulthood.
