Collateral, Minority Report or Edge of Tomorrow for me. If this makes two pages it will be something different.
Oblivion. Double Tom Cruise!
Cocktail
For me its either Risky Business or Cocktail, both great in their story line and cast as well as the soundtrack.
Either The Color of Money, Rain Man or Cocktail for me.
Minority Report (just a great film)
Collateral (totally different role which he pulls off well)
Tropic Thunder (honourable mention).
Risky Business.
Rain Man.
Oblivion.
Ton Cruise?
Your favourite Tom Cruise film?
I would say maybe Magnolia.
Love that film.
Ton Cruise? Born of the Forth of Fist Pie
TAPS - although George C Scott and Timothy Hutton get top billing. Classic Cruiser line ‘it’s ****ing beautiful man’!
Eyes Wide Shut for me
Since someone has already done the 'Ton' jokes, I'll go with Minority Report, MI3 or Edge of Tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow mainly for ahem, other cast members though. 🙂
Correct, it's one film not 4 or 5. Be descisive!
Edge of Tommorrow really is a great bit of Sci Fi and gets bonus points for Emily Blunt
Honorable mention to both Top Gun films. The first, while flawed is just an iconic piece of 80s action cinema and the second manages to somehow how not make an issue of the 30 year gap between the two films and end up better than the original. And by refusing anything but a full cinema release it helped cinema recover post pandemic.
Magnolia
Tropic Thunder
Top Gun
...why is OP asking? Are they writing a listicle for Buzzfeed?
Oh, I forgot A Few Good Men, though a lot of that had to do with how brilliantly nasty and arrogant Nicholson plays his part of the Marine Colonel.
I never knew till recently that the film was actually based upon a real Code Red incident that took place at Guantanamo Bay though there wasn't an actual death involved.
There is a lot of sneering about Cruise, but he has such a huge catalogue of films that you find on the telly at 10pm on a week-night and always watch all the way through.
Toughy, so many good ones
To be fair he’s had his fair share of really bad ones too. His latest one for example
some good stuff up there that I’ve not watched for years !
Knight and Day. Just a great mindless romp.
Also, sorrynotsorry
Nimority report for ne too.
Jack reacher, not for the acting but for the remarkable casting as he surely must have done that job himself
The title of the sequel was a coded instruction from the writers. 🙂
But yes, would watch both with a beer. It's best not to watch the TV adaptation for comparison though.

Speak for yourself. It's remarkable how poor most of his movies are.
A Few Good Men, but more because it's Sorkin, not because it's Cruise.
Oh yeah, I went to the theatre with Tom Cruise once.
Well, I went to a show in New York and he was ushered in after the lights went down, and ushered out at the end to applause.
He was with that Katie lady.
I imagine he still talks about seeing me there even today.
I'm with you on that one Top Gun definately 😂
Maybe it just appeals to people of a certain age!

I'm by no mean a Tom Cruise fanboy, but you really have to give respect where its due. He's been one of Hollywood's most bankable stars for 30+ years. He's without question the best action cinema actor of all time and also produced some decent dramatic performances. Personal weirdness aside he is probably one of the very few "superstars" left that haven't been swallowed by the comic / superhero franchise juggernauts.
Days of Thunder
The Firm
Edge of Tomorrow.
To be fair he’s had his fair share of really bad ones too
Has he? I know the last MI film didn't get great reviews but it wasn't an absolute stinker. The mummy film is the only other one I can think of. What are the other really bad ones?
Can't think of Tom Cruise films without remembering this
I always like to see him sprinting,nobody runs like the Cruise 👍
I’m going be there only person in the world to say rock of ages!
As a glam metal fan back in the day I love the soundtrack and absurdity of it. Also good to see Tom not taking himself so seriously for once
The one where the woman wants to quit being a scientologist and they harrass her all her life
... ah sorry not a film that's real
