Grosse Pointe Blank - Blu-ray Forum

Firestreak · 01-07-2010, 12:41 PM

Any news on this title? I know it's not new or big but I can't believe upon searching this whole forum it's never been mentioned once. It's really a great movie and it's not dated at all.

The studio is Caravan Pictures and it was distributed by Hollywood Pictures and Buena Vista Pictures.

It stars John Cusack as a kind of yuppie hit man at his home town for a high school reunion. It's a very funny dark comedy.

Love it! One of my favorite Cusack films...but like you...I've heard nothing

goodstuff · 01-07-2010, 01:09 PM

One of my all time faves. I imported the Japanese DVD just so I could have an anamorphic version of it. I pray that it gets a proper BD release soon.

I hate to be the one to always say this, but this kind of thread absolutely should have a question mark in the title or should be posted in the Wish List forum.

Few films need a home video upgrade more than Grosse Pointe Blank which is still only available in a lackluster, non-anamorphic DVD in region 1.

Dude, he's only been here 2+ years. Give him a break...

love this movie....cant wait for the Blu

demers_60 · 07-06-2010, 05:18 AM

Just watched this a few nights ago. Definitely one of Cusack's best.

jlynn33 · 07-06-2010, 06:26 AM

I totally agree! My favorite role for Cusack.

Dynamo of Eternia · 07-06-2010, 05:55 PM

This was actually one of the very first movies that I bought on DVD when I got my first DVD player in 1998. I'd probably upgrade to Blu-Ray on this one, especially with the DVD being non-anamorphic.

nixmikspop · 07-06-2010, 07:20 PM

This would be a must buy for me. My favorite John Cusack movie(Joan was great in it too).

yeah this movie was one of my first DVD's as well, along with Austin Power 1.

This thread really should be in the wishlist section

I'd be happy with a combo High Fidelity/Grosse Pointe Blank if that's what it took.

Would definitely get a Blu of the classic '80's nostalgia film Grosse Point Blank. The old DVD is non-Anamorphic & OOP, so it's definitely high time this was released on HD.

Recently re-watched this film - great movie, with a great storyline & incredible soundtrack.

Possibly my favorite scene was when Martin Blank (Cusack) had that

[Show spoiler]

As an '80's kid I felt old when this movie came out in 1997...and that was 23 years ago. Reminders about how long it's been since you've graduated high school are a sure-fire way of making you really realize how old you are - LOL.

This was probably the first & definitely the BEST of those "10-year high school '80's reunion" movies that came out in the late '90's - the other two that come to mind are "Romy & Michele's High School Reunion" (1997) and the much more obscure TV film "Since You've been gone" (1998), starring David Schwimmer.

I've seen a DVD combo of both films, but no Blu - yet.
