      ​​@@GzeeboSince all of the things they've added to the list, begin with the beginning of his name first, it'd make sense why they didn't add, "Being John Malkovich" Unless many many people searched up,
      "Is John Malkovich being John Malkovich?" Which honestly, is pretty funny but-
      If just searching up the movie, it wouldn't be a common thing for people to search up- It'd be a tad bit strange, no? ALSO, these are all questions- The movie itself, the title, is a statement- Not a question :p

    Miscast in Dangerous Liaisons? Absolutely not; he was BRILLIANT in it, and it's been my favorite film since I saw it in theaters when I was 17. I sat in my seat as the credits began, riveted and stunned. Every moment, every word, every image in that film is stupendous. I was the only high school kid with a Dangerous Liaisons movie poster on my wall, among posters for punk and goth bands.

    His memory is amazing. I think sometimes we, the present people, don't think about how there will be future people who will say things like "oh how interesting it would have been to be alive at the same time as (such a person as John Malkovich)" and here we are alive with people like this, sometimes missing the gravitas of their mark on history.

      Some of us do think about it and come to inevitable conclusion that people of other professions and achievements leave mark on history not actors and entertainers no matter how good thet are. Stop idolizing performers and celebrities. He made some good movies but none of this changes anything globally/historically or even in the cinema industry.
