Our pick of some of the actor's most memorable performances. What would you add to the list?
John Cusack, star of The Paperboy (read Peter Bradshaw's review here), is one of the few 80s teen stars to have made a genuinely successful transition to adult cinema. From early supporting roles in Sixteen Candles and Stand By Me, through critically acclaimed turns in The Grifters and The Player, to parodying his 80s-self in Hot Tub Time Machine, he's consistently sought out roles that play to his strengths as an actor.
Here are some highlights from his film career, including recommendations from @guardianfilm Twitter followers @Hollywdbabylon, @owenkeats, @missalison, @workdick, @Daniel_Moores, @mwarrilow and @grantcollinson.
