What's Eating Gilbert Grape

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape arrives on VHS in this vintage Paramount home video release of the acclaimed 1993 drama starring Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis, and Leonardo DiCaprio in one of his earliest and most celebrated performances.

Set in the quiet Midwestern town of Endora, Iowa, the story follows Gilbert Grape, a young man struggling to balance responsibility, family, and his own dreams. As the primary caretaker for his developmentally disabled younger brother Arnie and the rest of his troubled household, Gilbert’s life is defined by duty and routine—until a free-spirited traveler passing through town begins to change his outlook on life.

Known for its heartfelt storytelling and powerful performances, the film has become a standout title in 1990s independent cinema. Leonardo DiCaprio’s remarkable portrayal of Arnie earned widespread critical praise and helped cement the film’s lasting reputation among movie lovers.

This original VHS release captures the nostalgia of the home video era and remains a great addition for collectors of 1990s films, vintage VHS media, or fans of Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio’s early work.
