It's a toss up, for me, between Grosse Pointe Blank and Better Off Dead, both are classics.

Yeah. Wallace Shawn was in that too. It was his last role before his death from testicular cancer.

Re: Best John Cusack Film

Is he still a viable star in Hollywood or just being really picky?

It seems lately he has been doing a lot of second rate or direct to dvd titles like the Numbers Station, The Frozen Ground, Adult World, and Grand Piano though he had a role in the Butler a major production.

Hope he is not following in the footsteps of Cuba Gooding Jr and Val Kilmer.

I never really liked him so I would say Runaway Jury because it had Hackman and Hoffman in it.

Not really a fan of his but he has been in some good films which were not necessarily good because of him :

The Grifters
Being John Malkovich
The Thin Red Line
Identity

I don't know. He's well-known but I don't think he was ever considered a great actor, and he's getting old to do romantic comedies.

In the nearly 7 years since the thread was bumped, has he done anything that could compete for the title?

Oh, a double-feature of Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer.

But if I'm in a more serious mood, Say Anything.

Grosse Pointe Blank would get my vote with Being John Malkovich getting the runner up spot.
