I have a similar face shape (oblong). Generally, for oblong faces I think two things: 1. Growing out the sides sufficiently to fill out the width of the face, 2. Growing out bangs sufficiently to cover the hairline. Also use side parts, as center parts tend accentuate the length of the face. There are also other factors such as facial features and hair type that influence what hair cut looks best (for example, I don't think I could pull off Gyllenhaal's hair in that pic because his facial features and hair type are much different from mine).

I agree that medium length (or longer) hair cut into long layers works best. I'm no hair expert but I think this is accomplished by trained stylists by cutting the hair at an angle using shears or razors. I would probably go to a salon rather than a barber to try to get this done.
