JOHN CUSACK Y

nicka otm except that i recently re-saw it and it wasn't as good as it was back when i saw it five times in the theater and bought the soundtrack

http://www.chadwickfamily.org/ebay/aboutMe/BetterOffDead1.jpg

better off dead is so classic

yeah that is completely 100% true

Tough call since he's been there for me at crucial moments...
Better off Dead: adolescent angst + comedy + Van Halen + claymation
Say Anything: Teenage Torture - comedy + Ione Skye
Grosse Point Blank: coming to terms with adulthood angst + comedy + bloody murder
=
Grosse Point Blank is the winner here.

OTM

(not really)

killing Dan Aykroyd w/ a TV set has to be worth something

the commercials for the new thing he's in where he's looking for his dead daughter in a ghost hotel room where samuel l jackson is the concierge are just like god man what's going on with you

he is playing an Iraq-war widower in a Sundance weeper later this year. so, SERIOUS.

I really like him and enjoy a ton of this stuff but the best actual film is easily Bullets Over Broadway

too obv a "Woody wants to kill Mia" movie

Wherefore art Sure Thing, the movie where my stupid, not-nearly-ready-for-fatherhood, 20 year old dad got the idea to name me Nick.

YES, MY CHRISTIAN NAME COMES FROM SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT OF JOHN CUSACK'S MOUTH IN A ROADTRIP FILM.

ALL ANSWERS THAT ARE NOT "BETTER OFF DEAD" DISQUALIFIED

it's not your poll.

enn eye see kay you shd puke in yr dads car to show him a thing or 2

In response, I'd like to point out that "Better Off Dead" has a CLAYMATION HAMBURGER. Singing a VAN HALEN SONG. And the fat kid from "Head of the Class." Game, set, match.

also, Booger

i voted for the obvious choice because i am pathetic and lame

Me too.

You knew I would.

we are v sad ladies

also neglected in poll: that "My Pal Hitler" flick in which Cusack is woefully miscast

We are, but I don't care. I love it.

Grosse Point Blank is awesome for the reference to Better Off Dead

I voted based on CST (Cusack Screen Time). Hence, my vote went to Stand By Me.

(16 Candles could've got my vote, too, but the CST is negated by the AMHST.)

your pathetic attempts at subtly manipulating every poll result are really starting to grate on me.

i voted GPB because the idea of Cusack as this hardened hitman guy is so ludicrous/genius.

Guys Pushing Tin is worse than Serendipity.

Guys "Identity" is awesome.

You have my word that I'll stay the fuck away from the Sexiest Disney Guy poll.

I'm holding out until I see that new movie where he gets the DTs in a hotel room. Sweaty, bloated fun!

Guys "Identity" is awesome.

what are you talking about, it's like the second or third worst movie mentioned on this thread!

I am talking truth in a sea of nonsense, is what I'm talking about!

"Identity" is a lump of crap if I've ever seen one, Dan.

SOMEONE GOT KILLED BY A DRYER IN "IDENTITY"; A++

Runaway Jury at least makes sense in the end. "It was all in his head" should be punishable by law.

"Identity" makes sense in the end, too! It's basically "The Cell" done right.

(At any rate, if you pay attention you figure out what's going on way befire the big reveal.)

It's basically "The Cell" done right.

oh, well in that case, i'll run right out and get it.

i guessed the "twist" of Identity from the trailer.

but i'm gonna stop dissing movies for the time being. my hatorade reserves are low.

Better Off Dead for me, too.

Went for GPB. I fucking love that movie.

I've never gotten the GPB love - is Cusack supposed to be believable as a hitman...?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

It doesnt matter that he isnt! I just find the film really fun and funny. Esp the dialogue between Cusack and his shrink.

I mean it's hardly Heat or some shit.

Grosse Pointe Blank for that scene with Jeremy Piven, when he learns that a classmate's now working at a Pizza Hut: "Mm. Let's not go there."

"Lloyd Dobbler... all right"
