Say Anything (1989 Cameron Crowe & scr)

"I gave her my heart - she gave me a pen."

Rather well acted by John Cusack; with Ione Syke, John Mahoney, Lili Tayor, Joan Cusack, Eric Stoltz, Jeremy Piven.

Great screenplay, throwaway lines like "There's no food in your food" but has a mark of authenticity to it as well. He really is a very nice guy. Love the way it ends on board a plane.

Shot by Laszlo Kovacs, with a typically resonant pop music soundtrack.

Edited (and co-produced) by Richard Marks. Certain scenes are ballets of eyes, especially with Joan's little boy (Glenn Walker Harris), who John plays as a guitar at one point! (Cameron's good with kids.)
