High Fidelity (2000)

The staff of a Chicago record shop behave as if recommending a record requires control of the entire history of good taste. Jack Black's Barry gives that territorial expertise an enormous comic presence, turning customer service into an audition few customers can pass. High Fidelity is the pick for anyone amused by rankings that become a personality. Rob's romantic self-justifications dominate much of the film, so the pleasure includes recognising his limits rather than adopting his judgements.
