After watching the new Mission Impossible trailer and seeing Tom Cruise do that amazing airplane stunt, I had to ask what is your favorite Tom Cruise movie(s)? Or for some of you, which one do you hate the least? 
Rain Man
The Color of Money
Mission Impossible 1,3,4
Rock of Ages (hey, I'm an 80's geek. Proud member of Generation X)
Top Gun
Edge of Tomorrow

Top Gun, easily.
It's just so perfectly 80s. And infinitely quotable.

Collateral. Easily my favorite performance of his.
The alleyway scene, and the shootout in the club

Minority Report
Edge of Tomorrow (not necessarily for Cruise)
Top Gun
Legend (not necessarily for Cruise)
Vanilla Sky
ETA:
Had to add the "not necessarily"

Only get to choose one? Probably Minority Report.

Taps (essentially the first significant film for both Cruise and Penn - in a support role, Cruise almost steals it.)
Top Gun
Collateral (his best performance to date)
Tropic Thunder (a cameo on steroids, but I really enjoy the film and his role in it)
Color of Money (unlikeable guys like him, Pine, Bale, would do well to stay with antagonist or at least intentionally unlikeable protagonists)
Rain Man (he could have looked bad opposite Hoffman, but he held his own)
ETA: A Few Good Men - probably the best overall Cruise movie - should have been in my initial list. Everybody nailed it and that helped tremendously - Jack did steal the show, though.
Jerry McGuire (the closest I've come to liking a character played by Tom Cruise)

top gun
days of thunder
a few good men
risky business
Outsiders, not really a "tom cruise" movie but he's in it.

Rain Man is OK, I guess. I don't really care for any of his films. He's on my list of the Top 5 People I'd Like to Pop in the Balls.

I love Tom Cruise movies. I can't pick one...but if I had to, I'd say Collateral and Top Gun. So when I said I pick one, I meant I pick two. DWI

Top Gun for nostalgic purposes. Saw it in the theater as a kid and introduced me to french kissing...
Collateral, Edge of Tomorrow and Minority Report is up there too

Two pages and no mention of Born on the Fourth of July?
