John Cusack established his persona as a Gen X icon with two films, this
and The Sure Thing, also released in 1985. In the hilarious and
brilliantly deadpan Better Off Dead, he plays Lane Meyer, a high-schooler who
tries to kill himself after his beloved girlfriend dumps him for a
champion skier. Of course, it ends in a big race. It's a cult favorite with great quotable lines like "I want
my two dollars!" Director Savage Steve Holland throws in several moments of almost surreal non-reality, including
animation. Curtis Armstrong co-stars as Lane's wisecracking pal Charles. Paramount's 2011 Blu-Ray release includes a trailer.
