Question Asked: What is John Cusack’s Best Movie Role to Date?
|
Jun 2nd, 2008 |
Great question. As John Cusack is near and dear to me (I’ve got over 35 of his movies on DVD. Come on, he rocks), I’m curious about it myself.
How does one define something as the “best”? Most successful? Most box office sales? Personal opinion?
Having recently watched Grace Is Gone, I’d have to say that, performance wise, that was a hell of a role.
According to box office numbers, Con Air made the most money, so one could argue that’s his “best” movie. But role-wise, I’ve got to give it to either Grace is Gone (Stanley Philipps), or Say Anything… (Lloyd Dobbler). I say Grace is Gone because Cusack is just amazing in the role. I say Say Anything… because Lloyd Dobbler put John Cusack on the map. No one knew who he was until then, and now people still recognize him as the icon with the boombox held high overhead.
In case you’re curious, here’s the top five box office results for John Cusack movies:
- Con Air -$101 million
- American’s Sweethearts – $93 million
- 1408 – $71 million
- Serendipity – $50 million
- Runaway Jury – $49 million
It’s sad to note that Grace is Gone has only made $50,899 in the theater. Given, it was only released on seven screens, but still. If you haven’t it, and you’re a Cusack fan, you need to see it. It’s an amazing (albeit depressing) film.
