Classic 80s movie or what? Beautiful girl - geeky guy. And Peter Gabriel.
9) Martian Child (2007)
A beautiful film about acceptance and how genes don't make a family a family.
8) The Sure Thing (1985)
Another 80s classic. Cross-country trek for sex when what you're really after is right beside you the whole way. Daphne Zuniga is great in this too.
7) Money for Nothing (1993)
What else are you going to do with a million dollars that you find laying in the street? I mean, come on!
6) The Ice Harvest (1995)
Creepy in a Bad Santa kind of way - I think it's a Billy Bob Thornton thing. Kind of over-the-top violent (see also: Grosse Pointe Blank), but not bad. Good ending.
5) Serendipity (2001)
Sappy, "it must be fate" plot, but it totally draws you in.
4) Must Love Dogs (2005)
Another sappy movie, but full of fun moments and a great supporting cast. Also, wins "best, most hilarious race for protection", hands down.
3) Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
Wonderfully violent plot, great soundtrack, also love Minnie Driver and Dan Aykroyd.
2) High Fidelity (2000)
Another great soundtrack (see what I mean about John Cusack choosing his films for their music?), Jack Black, some great meltdowns. Kind of like Broken Flowers, but, you know, a good movie.
1) Better Off Dead (1985)
Totally stuntperson performed skiing sequences aside, this movie is my most favorite John Cusack film for so many reasons. Classic 80s music (and a Claymation Van Halen video? yes please!):
Hilarious "suicide" attempts, bad French accents, crazy parental antics, and the best little brother character EVER. Oh, and I want my two dollars!!!
Seriously people - go watch this movie. It's wonderful.
