Eight Men Out (1988)
John Sayles' 1988 Black Sox scandal drama. The 1919 thrown World Series through procedural accuracy.
John Cusack’s image is fixed by one shot in Say Anything, holding a boombox above his head, which he has been asked about continuously for thirty-five years.
Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity, both of which he co-wrote, are the better films, and Being John Malkovich gives him the strangest role. He has worked steadily in genre and independent film, and is a prolific and combative political commentator online.
