Best in Show - This is Spinal Tap - A Mighty Wind

Rushmore - Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - Royal Tennenbaums

Donnie Darko - Mulholland Drive - Memento

Wow - there are three movies on that list I haven't seen (Rushmore, Life Aquatic, and Mulholland Drive), and two of them are already at the top of my queue. As you are clearly a person of taste, I'll add Mulholland Drive, too. But, for the record, I thought Donnie Darko was totally lame.

Assuming you've already seen the classics of our generation plus the complete John Cusack body of work:

Adaptation
Big Fish
Tao of Steve (maybe, kind of a guy movie but fun nevertheless)
State and Main
Impromptu (may not be on DVD yet)
Sex and the Single Girl (not implying anything - just a funny 1960's "sex comedy" with natalie Wood and Tony Curtis,; may also not be on DVD yet)

Actually, those aren't safe assumptions...I'll be sure to fill the gaps in my knowledge of the Cusack Oeuvre.

Start with the 5 top Cusack movies on my blog post from August 1st. That's enough to give you a flavor of his work.
