John Cusack
There was a time when John Cusack was a stable shortcut to a good movie for me. If he was in it, it was going to be pretty good.
He had a great run of playing offbeat characters. Not ‘offbeat’ like you’re pitching a feel-good indy picture.
Offbeat in a way that was actually off the beat. A little different. A little more interesting than they ought to be. His performances suggested layers of depth.
He had soul too. And he could carry a movie.
And darned if the ladies didn’t love him.
From the deep cut of Say Anything… to the suave hitman of Grosse Pointe Blank to the lovable man-child of High Fidelity, John Cusack set hearts aflutter.
But we care nothing of accumulated Hotness. No no.
We need to find his Zenith of Hotness.
Loading ...Say Anything… (1989)
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
Pushing Tin (1999)
Being John Malkovich (1999)
High Fidelity (2000)
Identity (2003)
Must Love Dogs (2005)
Grace is Gone (2007)
Have a testy suggestion?
Suggest the works to be considered and send us some images and you’ll put a heater on the hotness. (Read: speed it up.)
Picked High Fidelity b/c it was teh awesome.
But Serendipity is where Mr. Cusack looked his best; accessorized with the lovely Ms. Beckinsale.
I’ve said enough.
I agree with Jordan; Serendipity was his zenith of hotness (swoon) and my favourite John Cusack movie to date. Voted for Grosse Pointe Blank as runner-up fave (though he was probably hotter in others).
