6. "Say Anything..." (1989)


Did Cameron Crowe know just how many boom boxes would be lifted in front of unsuspecting girls' windows when he made this little movie in 1989? Probably not... but he surely understood that countless men and women would relate to and fall in love with Lloyd Dobler, John Cusack's most iconic role. "Say Anything" stands out for simple yet oddly complex reasons -- chiefly that Lloyd is both a regular guy and an extraordinary one because he dares to be genuinely nice. Wow. There's a novel idea. Ask out the class brain and beauty (Ione Skye) and treat her well. And, if she dumps you because her psychotic father is overprotective? Well, lift that boom box high and blast the song that played while you were making love for the first time.

Next: "The Philadelphia Story"
