Thanks for reminding me! Now I have to schedule time to pull out my copy and watch it again.
Meg Ryan was so hot in all three roles in that movie. I can't decide which one I liked best. I also love Eric Burdon's version of that old classic.
How about, Dan Hedaya's role as Mr. Waturi?

Big John Cusack fan, loved Gross Point Blank, High Fidelity, Must love dogs, etc...
I'm a fan of his too. Then you must've seen "Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil", great role as a Better Homes & Gardens journalist. It's based on a true story too: Murder Mystery.
He was also in:
1408 (great, but creepy movie)
City Hall
The Grifters (His best performance IMHO)
Fat Man And Little Boy (another great performance)
