Ooh, Say Anything. Essential flick of my formative years, and one of John Cusack's best roles. He/Lloyd is smitten with beautiful, brainy, successful class leader Diane Court (Ione Skye), and finally asks her out right after graduation. They date, she falls for him, she breaks up with him (and he says the immortal "I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen"), they get back together, they fly off into the sunset (in a plane. It's not X-Men, after all). Pretty straightforward, but well done. And Lloyd is a wonderful character. He's been one of my fictional boyfriends for years. Diane's okay, but she's not good enough for Lloyd. Plus, his closest friends are all girls, which is neat- Corey (Lili Taylor) is the favorite, because "she's written 65 songs, 65! They're all about [her ex, Joe]. They're all about pain," like "Joe Lies" ("Joe lies/ Joe lies/ Joe lies/ when he cries"). But DC and Rebecca are cute, too, and it's just neat that Lloyd mostly hangs out the girls. Again, not unlike Adam. Anyway, good movie, great John Cusack, well worth a rent.
