Mojo Filter's Top 10 John Cusack Movies

Didn't care for Say Anything and haven't seen The Sure Thing.

Shame The Raven didn't make it. I really liked him as Edgar Allen Poe.

I'm not really a fan of either of the last two films, but I've not watched either for at least 25 years. I think The Sure Thing was the first Cusack film I saw. First Daphne Zuniga film I saw, too. I watched lots of those American teen sex/looking to get laid comedies throughout the 80's..

I never liked that movie. Sorry!
Thanks, dude!

Great job Mojo, I especially like how you wrapped it up.

My top 10-

1. The Ice Harvest
2. The Sure Thing
3. Hot Tub Time Machine
4. Being John Malkovich*
5. Say Anything
6. The Grifters
7. Identity
8. Runaway Jury
9. Pushing Tin
10. Money for Nothing

I would have Con-Air in there but I don't really think of him as an important player in that.

I think you could argue there are no actual starring roles in The Thin Red Line, by design. If you go to the older thread I linked to, it was referencing a quote from Cusack himself assessing he had only been in ten good movies in his career, and trying to guess which ten those might be, according to him. I can guarantee you that HE believes Malick's The Thin Red Line is one of those ten. Whether you want to count it, or not.

And John Sayles' Eight Men Out is terrific (and also surely on Cusack's own list). Enjoy.

I loved 1408. I know the film had two versions of the ending. The one where he plays the audio recorder was the better one. Creepy.

How can someone not care for Say Anything? Lloyd Dobler is one of the most romantic men in movies EVER!!!!!

Loved John in Bullets Over Broadway...I think the John does a wonderful job of channeling Woody.

Totally agree. He imitated Woody's mannerisms and style of acting and talking, and it was spot on.
