John Cusack was one of the famous actors during the 90's to early 2000. He has this serene quality in him that made women swoon and men mellow. When you take a look at his movie report card, he actually starred in at least one movie every year, but unfortunately hasn't had a box-office hit. He has been spending most of his time writing and directing films and being a columnist for Huffington Post. is boyish yet fiery charm make him a flexible actor and a genius behind the camera.
Thank God, he's back via the movie, The Raven. He plays the beloved author, Edgar Allan Poe, who comes across a series of murders that seemingly replicate the murders in his novels. He appears older but definitely wiser in this movie and so as a fan, I deemed it to go back in time and reminisce his performance in the movies that define his career.
Here are my top five movies that John Cusack starred in:
1. Stand By Me (1983)
This is one of the earliest movies that he was in. He played Dennis Lachne, a football player who died and became the inspiration for Gordie, his younger brother and the main character. to look for a missing boy in their town.
2. Fat Men and Little Boy (1986)
He plays a young physicist, Michael Merriman, who get contaminated with a lethal dose of radiation while working on a clandestine government project.
3. Con Air (1997)
He plays a U.S. Marshal who got caught in a plane taken over by convicted criminals. This movie was the ultimate dude movie of that year.
4. Serendipity
His character, Jonathan, is the ultimate love-struck man in this movie. He is an obituary writer for New York Times who falls in love with a girl he only met once. This story makes us believe that destiny will make happen what is supposed to.
Woah, I think I did more than just finishing my research papers for being able to compile all this down to one post. But what can I do, I just love Cusack. What's your favorite John Cusack Movie?
