Both, depending on how you use them in a sentence.
Mr Blank and I went to the movie together.
It began to rain and it soaked Mr Blank and me.
I - if it's the subject of the sentence. (I went)
me - if it's the object of the sentence (it rained on me)

A lot of people are saying just "Mr. Blank and I," but it can be both, depending on the situation. If it's at the beginning of the sentence, say "Mr. Blank and I." If it's at the end, say "Mr. Blank and me."

An easy way to tell is to take out the name in front of I or me.
So, in the sentence "Mr. Blank and I went to the park," you could just as easily say, "I went to the park." In a sentence saying, "It was a nice day for Mr. Blank and me," you could take out the "Mr. Blank" and day "It was a nice day for me."

Mr Blank and I is correct.

The easiest way to figure these out, if you are having a problem is to create a sentence:

Mr Blank and I went to the store
Mr Blank and me went to the store

Which one sounds right? If you are still not sure, take away the "Mr Blank" part

I went to the store
Me went to the store

Wow! These get answered fast! I wish I had something like this when I was failing physics.

I'VE forgotten more than some will ever know about this.
(the names of what's right...I forgot things like prepesitional phrases (shoot I can't even spell it) etc. ----I can just TELL you what's right, not WHY.)
sorry. Try this:
"On Saturday, Mr. Blank and I sat through the entire Fifth Symphony of Beethoven."
Can you say "me sat through" ? No.
so the Answer is "Mr. Blank and I sat through"
...you cannot say "me sat through" anything. Right?
I think there may be a way to say "Mr. Blank and me"...but I don't know the way to explain it.) May I suggest something to you?
Find out the proper grammar terms to use to explain this---so you don't end up sounding STUPID like me when you're older. ;o)

"Mr. Blank and I" is correct.

Here's how to always know the answer to this type of question.

Drop the other person from the sentence and then try it with just you.

Example:

1. Mr. Blank and me drove all over the city.
2. Me drove all over the city.

The second example is clearly wrong. You would say, "I drove all over the city." So put Mr. Blank back in with the way it sounds right. "Mr. Blank and I drove all over the city."

Make sense?

If the first statement is one part of a sentence, then 'Mr. Blank and I' must then be followed by a verb. If the second is the whole answer, or no verb is following, then Mr. Blank and Me
is also correct.
You did not give a context so you will have to decide.

Mr. Blank and I, because in a sentence, you would say "Mr. Blank and I went to the store." If you leave off Mr. Blank, the sentence would read, "I went to the store." It doesn't make sense if you were to say, "Me went to the store," which is what it is like doing if you say "Mr. Blank and me".
