  1. Was cusack in Being John Malkovitch? I may be mistaken.

    In stand by me was he one of the older brothers hanging with kiefer sutherland?

    Anyway was surprised 2012 was so popular. A good movie page. I appreciate all the details you put into the movie statistics.

    1. Cusack was the guy who discovered the doorway to Malkovich’s mind. In Stand By Me….Cusack was the older brother that had died earlier, he only appeared in flashbacks….a small but important role. 2012 was a huge hit, even though it is not the most logical movie…thanks for the compliment.

  3. Con Air and Identity is the best. Identity is a disturbing, mind boggling movie that needs full understanding. I just love it.

    1. Hey Ragnelle…..Con-Air and Identity are two of his biggest hits. I have seen Identity many many times…it gets better with each additional viewing.
