Being John Malkovich (1999)

Straying from his earlier buttoned-up work in studio features like Con Air and The Thin Red Line, Cusack was against type as Craig Schwartz, office worker and husband to a frizzy-haired Cameron Diaz. The movie, directed by Spike Jonze and written by Charlie Kaufman, also strayed from typical story conventions—planting its main character on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike after a literal journey through the mind of Academy Award nominee John Malkovich. Its original vision landed the film two Spirit Awards (in addition to a nod for Cusack’s lead role), three Academy Award and four Golden Globe nominations.
