John Cusack's best movie

Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich

altho I almost gave the sympathy vote to Roadside Prophets, cuz he is awesome in that (also only onscreen for like 2 minutes tho)

never understood the love for Grosse Point Blank tbh. lot of good work from this guy tho, obviously

i have seen so many of these goddamn movies. one of my sisters was obsessed with john cusack growing up and we had to see everything multiple times. this might help account for my feelings about say anything.

like has anyone else seen tapeheads more than once? probably not.

um...

1408 is underrated. Properly creepy.

It used to bug me that Ione Skye was such a void in Say Anything when she's supposed to be this mind-blowing valedictorian genius, but the truth is that if they'd gotten an actress that really came off super-intelligent and challenging (like if Lili Tayor played the part) the movie would have lost a big slice of its fanbase - women who just wanna watch John Cusack be mr. dream supportive boyfriend. Its cult would probably be more like Dogfight's.

lol Dan <3

oh wait, I'm thinking of Airheads

nvrmind

being john malkovich was the biggest overrated piece of shit movie.

ha my sister was telling me they did a years later commentary track for say anything and crowe said incredibly complimentary things to mahoney and cusack about their work, and then any time ione was onscreen he was like, "you're so pretty!"

JOHN CUSACK Y

tbh lots of valedictorians are voids.

the ones that get to join think tanks out of college?

sorry out of HIGH SCHOOL?

Ione Skye is p annoying in that movie tbh.

also, no sure thing on that earlier poll, so this one is very necessary

it's a thinktank for hairdressers.

that's part of the creepiness of the movie to me...it's like john cusack has just invented a person in his mind, which you do when you have an unrequited long-distance crush, but then the movie treats that crush like this exalted thing

yeah if i was lloyd i would have gotten rid of ione

yeah it is weird, but for boys who do that and ladies who (at least think) they'd enjoy the attention (and since Ione is blank its easy to just push her out of the way of his gaze), SA is the UR-movie

I've seen Tapeheads more times than any other Cusack movie - probably more than all the others put together. What can I say? Ninja bitches.

it also helps that the supporting cast is so terrific in Say, so its still pretty watchable once your past the blind crushage stage of life

Plus Eliot Gould and Barbara Streisand's lovechild is in it!

Crowe isn't a good writer of women. Look at Renee Zellweger in JM: she's a composite of several irreconcilable qualities. She's tough, cute, an imbecile, the mother of a horrible whelp, a careerist. It's like Crowe thinks these things that cancel each other out make for a three-dimensional woman.

the mother of a horrible whelp

lol

I'm sorry but he was pretty damn cute in that movie.

I was all like, Where's Gotcha?, because I think of that one with One Crazy Summer and The Sure Thing. But it turns out not to be Cusack, though imagine if they'd dyed his hair blonde and blow-dried it for this.

I didn't see Say Anything until my 30s. Also I am British. Also I'm not nuts about In Your Eyes. Is that why I find it so overrated? It seems like a touchstone for a whole generation of American moviegoers.

LOOK AT HIM NOW.

I know. Now is another story.

Fire away imo.

CHARTS lighthole

Oh wow! He's in Natty Gann! One of my first elementary school crushes.

yeah i love natty gann tbh

the only actors to get a credit for The Thin Red Line should be Nolte and Koteas tbh

i heard how great say anything was for years, and when i finally saw it i was really underwhelmed. shit, i even like jerry maguire so u know im not that picky

that's part of the creepiness of the movie to me...it's like john cusack has just invented a person in his mind, which you do when you have an unrequited long-distance crush, but then the movie treats that crush like this exalted thing

lipnicki corrupted

i don't even think he's that cute<---cruisin for an sb, but he was dreamy in natty gann.

ugh that damn kid

I completely forgot about Natty Gann until just now.

for all we know Lipnicki might enjoy SCUC missiles to the face now

the only actors to get a credit for The Thin Red Line should be Nolte and Koteas tbh

Why does everyone hate that kid! I watched it recently and I'm sorry but he's freakin adorable in the scenes where he first meets Jerry.
