When discussing accomplished actors that dominate the box office, one person you have to mention is Tom Cruise. The man is a Hollywood icon and in recent years has managed to revamp his reputation and career.
This article will highlight what I believe to be the best films that Tom Cruise has starred in.
The first movie I will mention also happened to be my Halloween costume last year, and that film was Risky Business. The scene in this movie where Cruise is running around his house in sunglasses and socks has become an iconic scene.
Another great Tom Cruise movie that I thoroughly enjoyed was The Last Samurai. This is a great war epic, taking place in 1800s Japan at a time when the Samurai and their traditions were being wiped out of existence. This is a fantastic movie.
One film which I feel deserves to be mentioned is A Few Good Men. One interesting fact about this crime thriller is that writer Aaron Sorkin wrote the whole screenplay on napkins while he was working at a theater as a low level employee. Suffice it to say that this film was his big break.
One other great film of Tom Cruise’s is also an iconic film, and that is none other than Top Gun. This was good as early 1990s action got. Everything from the flight scenes to the dialogue is great in this movie.
Rain Man featured Dustin Hoffman portraying an autistic savant and was arguably his best role of all time, but Tom Cruise could not have been better for the supporting role of Charlie Babbit.
One movie of Tom Cruise’s that I have yet to see, but have only heard amazing things about, is Magnolia. I don’t doubt that this movie is amazing, considering the great Paul Thomas Anderson directed it, and it is without a doubt the next film of his that I need to see.
