  1. Sixteen Candles is the best! I love the nerd character that John plays, and actually all the nerds in the movie!

  2. “Say Anthing” with “In Your Eyes” playing on his boombox. Timeless. The soundtrack of my youth!

  3. The scene from Say Anything where he talks about his career plans and doesn’t want to “sell anything, buy anything or process anything”….,

  5. Love John Cusack! Sixteen candles is probably his most iconic movie. But I loved Runaway Jury and Stand by Me.

  6. The Sure Thing:
    Walter “Gib” Gibson: Elliot? You’re gonna name the kid Elliot? No, you can’t name the kid Elliot. Elliot is a fat kid with glasses who eats paste. You’re not gonna name the kid Elliot. You gotta give him a real name. Give him a name. Like Nick.

    Alison Bradbury: Nick?

    Walter “Gib” Gibson: Yeah, Nick. Nick’s a real name. Nick’s your buddy….

  7. The Sure Thing – “Yeah, Nick. Nick’s a real name. Nick’s your buddy.”
