Favorite John Cusack movie? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The only reason that i counted Stand by Me was because he had a small part as Gordie's brother Denny. He wasn't in the movie for that long though. and He was in Sixteen Candles as one of the nerdy guys who was a friend of Farmer Ted played by Anthony Michael Hall.

John Cusack is one of the best actors we have, I think. And Say Anything is a wonderful movie.. he was perfect as Lloyd.

His sister's damn good, too.

Well, I probably should've just said Say Anything but I love Stand By Me too much to not mention it. Still, I know what you're saying and he was very, very funny in Sixteen Candles.

I totally agree with you!

I didn't realize how many good movies John Cusack has starred in until I saw the poll.

I voted for 'Runaway Jury', possibly because I just saw it recently, and it's still fresh in my mind. I loved it.

I recall I loved 'Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil'.

He's a very talented and versatile actor. He'll surely have a successful long career.

Say Anything

HEY!!! I know we've discussed John before but what the heck, it's John Cusack. I love John and alot of what he's been it. What, no Con Air? I just saw Identity the other day and I also liked Pushing Tin. But my all-time favorite is Better Off Dead. I can watch that movie over & over again. It's not just John that makes this movie though, it's the supporting cast, too. Kim Darby is so spacey, and David Ogden Stiles!! Hard to believe this is the same guy who played the arrogant Charles Emerson Winchester on MASH! Oh, and Monique, Ricky & Ricky's mom. Too funny.

If you ask me, if you look at some of his earlier stuff, he looks like he hasn't aged too much at all, although he's been in the business about 20 years.

John Cusack--he's my main weiner man.
