John Cusack's Top Ten

[Trazalca]

Which TEN do you think it is?

Read this from IMDB.com-

Cusack "Only Made 10 Good Films"

Hollywood star John Cusack believes he has only made 10 good films, despite spending over 25 years in the film industry. Cusack, 41, counts Grosse Pointe Blank and Being John Malkovich among his best work, but admits he is embarrassed of a majority of his filmography. He says, "I've made 10 good films. The ones that suck I tend to blank out. It's like I never even made them. Well, there aren't 40 that are great, put it that way. But that's fine. Ten is a good batting average."


On that note, I've listed all the films he's done in his career.
Which of these do you think make up the ten he's referring to?
And btw, he never mentions what they all are, only 2 of them.
So the remaining eight are left up to us. Which do you think it is?

1) 1408
2) Grace Is Gone
3) The Contract
4) The Ice Harvest
5) Must Love Dogs
6) Runaway Jury
7) Identity
8) Max
9) Serendipity
10) America's Sweethearts
11) High Fidelity
12) Being John Malkovich

I thought Identity was pretty damn good, and I have a soft spot in my heart for Better off Dead.

High Fidelity is definitely on his list, he co-wrote and produced it so it probably came out the way he wanted.

If we're going by the ones he thinks is best, I'd think your list is pretty accurate, although I bet Cradle Will Rock is on his list instead of Sixteen Candles. And I can't make a judgment on Grace Is Gone, since it hasn't been released yet, but I hear he's wonderful in it, so perhaps that is on it instead of Stand by Me, since I don't think he had a big part in it. (His part in Broadcast News must have been blink and you miss it, because I just saw that on TV and couldn't find him.)

I had no idea he was in that many movies. And as far as I'm concerned, Con Air is definitely in my top-10.

I woud gather that Better off Dead, One Crazy Summer and Hot Pursuit wouldnt be in his list... since his departure from comedy and shifted more to action flicks might show he's embarrassed about his comedy years. (one reason why these three movies are only being released as hard-to-find stripped down no frills DVD's and (mostly) reside in the bargan bins at Walmart or mail order) They would be very high on my list though.

I personally liked Americas Sweethearts and Serendipity... two great flicks... I also loved 1408 and I heard they were making a Grosse Point Blank sequel... so if he considered that one of his best... he best be in the sequel too.

Being John Malcovich... ok, wheres the hype? its a movie about driving an actor through a little door and controlling him with his brain..... sure its creative... but c'mon its not all that redeeming.
