Say Anything (1989)
November 12
Cameron Crowe’s SAY ANYTHING
(PG-13, 1989, 100 min)
One of the most iconic images of the ‘80s is John Cusack holding up a boombox towards the end of Crowe’s debut film with Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” blasting from the speakers. The scene has forever made Gabriel’s love song synonymous with this critically acclaimed tale of first love. Lloyd (John Cusack) seeks to capture the heart of Diane, an unattainable high school beauty and straight-A student (Ione Skye). He surprises just about everyone – including himself – when she returns the sentiment. But Diane’s over-possessive Dad (John Mahoney) doesn’t approve and it’s going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.
