Favorite John Cusack Movie....

[WCGreen]

Mine, Grosse Pointe Blank, no doubt in my mind...

[Shardik]

1. It's always the last one he did.

I really enjoy his talent.

I especially enjoyed 1408 and War, Inc.

[LostinVA]

2. "Say Anything" and "The Sure Thing"

Although I like them all -- I'm a huge fan of him and his sister.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I haven't seen very many...

But he was outstanding in "The Grifters" as was Anjelica Houston...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. The Grifters, Say Anything, Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil

oops...that's three.

[fishwax]

5. Better off Dead

Man, that film makes me :rofl:

[yellowdogintexas]

21. ' I WANT MY 2 DOLLARS' ...I love that movie. nt

[Kire]

31. Better Off Dead, indeed

I identify with it a lot.

[Callalily]

6. To be perfectly honest,

I'll watch anything where John Cusack is appearing.

[Forkboy]

7. Tapeheads

[gmoney]

26. "Am I crying?"

"Well, it wouldn't surprise me if I was... I can't use this."

[Forkboy]

28. One of the most quotable movies of all time.

"Stupid. Inane. Vapid. Mind-rot. Stench. Pabulum."

"Yeah, it's all right!"

:rofl:

[gmoney]

29. I love when he drinks the candle at dinner...

so much of it rocks...

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. Hard to say. I enjoy his work quite a bit.

[WCGreen]

9. I knw, that is the problem....

But for me, Grosse Pointe Blank was clever, funny and there was romance...

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. I grew up in Grosse Pointe (not the part in the film).

No radio stations, NO good 80s music (except for a few killer record stores/clubs), no fast food/foodie marts...aside from that, great film!

[AlCzervik]

11. It's a tie between Midnight in the garden of good and evil and Better off dead.

and i didn't like Say anything, yes i am thee one.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. I love GPB and High Fidelity,

but, without a doubt, my favorite Cusack movie is "Max."

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

13. Being John Malkovich...

I love that movie.

My second favorite is Identity.

[Orrex]

19. That was the film that convinced me that Cusack didn't totally suck

Better Off Dead was so horrible that it made me hate him for close to twenty years.

[BrklynLiberal]

24. I would see any movie with him in it. Identity was the one that came to mind first.

It is not my favorite, but it just stayed with me the longest.

[Starry Messenger]

14. So hard to pick.

It's a tie between Better Off Dead and Being John Malkovich. I wish he did more stuff.

[swag]

15. Bob Roberts

[jeff30997]

16. I recently saw 1408...

and thought it was awesome.John Cusack is one of my favorite actor.

[tismyself]

17. Midnight in the Garden.

[flvegan]

18. Money For Nothing, simply for Debi Mazar's nipples.

[Flaxbee]

20. Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity...

I looooved GPB, just something about it struck a chord with me.

"Must Love Dogs" was on last night, John Cusack and Diane Lane. Good premise, but kinda sucky movie. I watched it anyway :D

[abq e streeter]

27. The exact same two I was going to say.

An interesting ( well sort of) story about seeing High Fidelity for the first time. It had been recommended to me by a musician/rabbi friend whom I play with on occasion. Told me he'd seen this movie that reminded him of me ( great-- a neurotic, rock and roll obsessed, going-nowhere shlub with a string of failed romances reminds you of me ; thanks Joe----just kidding ,Rabbi Joe is a great guy, and I hate to say it, but it DID remind me of myself a little)... Anyway,we both live in Albuquerque but had recently discovered that we'd each attended Evanston High School, just outside Chicago. In the couple of weeks in between Joe recommending that I see it, and getting around to renting it, I found out by sheer coincidence, that Cusack also attended our high school, and was a freshman when Joe was a senior.( I'm a few years older). Can't explain it , but knowing that it was a movie by an Evanston kid; it just somehow made more sense...and not to mention GPB , where he's going to his high school reunion. ( another pointless bit of unrelated trivia : Mean Girls was filmed at Evanston High.) I think I was going somewhere with all this, but apparently not. Time to go to sleep; good night to all you night-owl DUers...

[Zomby Woof]

22. High Fidelity

I'll also throw in The Runaway Jury because no one else has mentioned it.

[Lindsey]

23. Say Anything and High Fidelity. I love him and his passion n/t

[tigereye]

35. he's good in most things I've seen - I love High FIdelity (fun in general)

there are also The Cradle WIll Rock, THe Grifters, and Being John Malkovich. I think he's a great actor.

[Inchworm]

25. Must Love Dogs

There. I said it :D

:hi:

[deucemagnet]

30. Grosse Pointe Blank,

but honorable mention to High Fidelity for "Get your patchouli stink outta my store!". :rofl:

[Zavulon]

32. Con Air.

I'm not much of a fan of his and really don't like his movies as a general rule, but I have to admit that he was great in this.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

33. John Cusack = Hipster gold.

Just imagine John Cusack in a Kevin Smith movie, and the hipsters will be in pure hipster heaven.

That being said, Being John Malkovich is the best John Cusack movie.

[Enrique]

34. "True Colors" with him and James Spader

cool thing about that movie is that Cusack was the bad guy and Spader was the good guy, which is kind of a switch.

[bmbmd]

36. I confess-

"One Crazy Summer" and "Sixteen Candles". Bad case of arrested development, I guess.

[MorningGlow]

37. Better Off Dead

No question!

"Such a shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that."
:rofl:

[Bertha Venation]

38. The Grifters

It's the darkest movie I've ever loved. He was terrific, tragic.

[saltpoint]

39. THE SURE THING was terrific.

With BEING JOHN MALKOVICH a close second.

[GOPisEvil]

40. Better Off Dead and High Fidelity
