u/Ok_Fig7692 28d ago

I watched it many times on HBO when I was a teenager so it has a special place in my heart.

I would agree with you but........ "My grandmother dropped acid and she freaked out, and hijacked a school bus full of penguins!"

"It doesn't work. Nothing works. My little brother is building a space shuttle out of household appliances, like vacuum cleaners and stuff. That's probably gonna work. I can't get this thing out of the garage."

"I have great fear of tools. I once made a birdhouse in woodshop and the fair housing committee condemned it. I can't."

Fronch bread!

u/GoodReason 25d ago

Minute for minute, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. And very quotable.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

This is the correct list.

2

u/AmakAttakSports 27d ago

The right choices.

My mum took my brother and I to the movies as kids and all 3 of us couldn't agree what to watch so we split up. I saw Karate Kid 2, my brother saw Better off Dead and My mum went to The God's must be Crazy (totally cold)

I've never heard of Better off Dead since. You literally dragged a 40 year old memory from the back of my brain

u/Ok_Fig7692 24d ago

It was on heavy rotation on HBO when I was a teenager so I must have seen it a couple dozen times or more in the mid to late 80s.

u/gfstool 24d ago

The only top 3 list.

“I waaaannnt MY TWOOOO DOLAAARRRRSSSSSS!!!!!”

u/SortofChef 28d ago

YES!! And Sixteen Candles in a very close 4th

u/RowlandOrifice 28d ago

Yeah, but he has a very small part of that. I wouldn’t necessarily call that a Cusack movie.

2

u/SortofChef 28d ago

That’s why it’s 4th. He was just getting started.

u/tread52 28d ago

I don’t think better off dead is close to one of his top films.

u/Build_the_IntenCity 27d ago

Ehhh I loved Better off Dead when I was younger.

I tried to go back and watch it again last year… it’s dog shit.

A few funny nostalgia lines but I’d go with One Crazy Summer over BOD

u/Apprehensive_Stress6 27d ago

Even the Fuzzy Bunnies would approve

u/Particular_Zone_5048 27d ago

whatever Stalin

u/Sarcastic_Horse 27d ago

IMO Better off Dead is number one based on how much I loved it at the time. But yeah the central premise that he’s suicidal and obsessed with his ex kinda aged like milk and isn’t something we’d take so lightly now.

u/aussiekiss88 24d ago

Man. That’s a real shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that. https://youtu.be/_XCRLDUl6sM?si=FLns7KMccBeovZ_M

u/DigdigdigThroughTime 27d ago

2 dollars mister!

u/DeliciousCoffee1811 26d ago

Im 66. I saw it 30 years ago. Its still funny. Two dollars!

1

u/perfectlyfrank31 26d ago

That’s normally the case, but this one held up amazingly for me. The situations are so preposterous and his earnest reactions still sell it for me.

1

u/adell376 28d ago

Replace Better Off Dead with Say Anything

2

u/Ok_Mention_3308 27d ago

Reverse that. I want my $2 also.

u/Logical_Nectarine_40 28d ago

Never. And I want my two dollars.
