Top Gun - Cheesy 80's love story with F-14s thrown in for guys (I'll give you that one...)
Rainman - Carried by Dustin Hoffman
A Few Good Men - Carried by Jack Nicholson
The Firm - Very forgettable movie...in fact, I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it
Jerry McGuire - 😕 Woo! Show me the money! Yet another love story with sports thrown in for guys
MI - Carried by big explosions and neat sounding techy toys
Last Samurai - Haven't seen it
 
I'd say he's a talented actor, definitely. Fun to watch.

I'd also have to disagree with most of the people here and say that Tom Cruise is pretty talented as well. Maybe not the best actor in hollywood, but he's good.

Brad Pitt, though, is better. At least in my opinion.
 
I love John, he's a great actor, and has been for a long time. Last thing I saw him in was Identity. Being John Malkovich was an awesome, weird, dark film, and High Fidelity was gold, as was Grosse Point Blank. If only Minnie Driver hadn't been in it. Yeesh, she always plays the same damn character in every movie, and she was struggling hard to keep up with Cusack in GPB.
 
Yay on the strenght of Grosse Point Blank alone. High Fidelity was mildy amusing. Pushing Tin blew imo. Groose Point Blank is a classic though 😀 Oh, Serindipity wasn't bad either I guess. Chick flick but still good.
 
Say Anything is a classic
The "I want my $2 dollars" movie still funny
Grifters was very good
Grosse Pointe Blank very good
Serendipity very good
John Cusacke = very good

Except he always plays the same kind of character.

John Cusack is a good actor AND he's versatile. Go watch High Fidelity. Then go watch Being John Malkovich. It's hard to believe it's the same guy!

That`s what I like about Cusack. He is so versatile. For his generation of actors, I would say he is in top 3, along with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.

Serendipity?

Only bad movie of his I have seen was the one in which he played the serial killer. Great acting, but the script blew great big chunks
 
The Sure Thing
Better off Dead (two dollars....)
Stand by Me
Hot Pursuit
Say Anything
Gross Point Blank
Being John Malkovich
High Fidelity
America's Sweethearts
Serendipity

Brad Pitt??? I fart in your general direction. I agree on Ed Norton though.

decent, certainly not the best.

For acting quality id say Brad Pitt is king, 12 Monkeys and Snatch are 2 great examples.

And Seven Years In Tibet? Brad Pitt is definitely one of the better actors of the "younger" generation.
 
I think he's great. My favorite movie with him is Grosse Pointe Blank. Only movie he's been in I didn't like was...gasp...High Fidelity. That movie was so frickin boring I wanted to gorge my eyes out.

havent watched it yet.
 
I like him. grifters was the first movie I seen him in that I really paid attention. Then GPB that was too cool. He's got talent but that doesn't always mean success.
