But what does best role mean?
I wasn't kidding about Risky Business. First off...the subject line said "best role" - that's his best role because it made his career...and his acting in that is REAL. Not, I'm Tom Cruise action star...
But I'm just a guy.
Everyone can say Born on the 4th of July but that's not a big hit nowadays.
But Risky Business was his best role because it made his career, he wasn't Tom Cruise yet so he was natural, and is still to this day probably his most iconic movie apart from Top Gun.
As a movie, Risky Business is just one of about a dozen or so 80's teen coming-of-age movies, and the story isn't that much different or better than any of the others. But HE was.
Cruise emerged from that as a movie star, and he's never really declined.

Agreed he was exceptional in it, but I'd disagree that it was not more than just a teen coming of age movie. If nothing else, the soundtrack by Tangerine Dream and the cinematography that made each shot look like the perfect 80's magazine print ad places it above the average teen sex movie as far as I'm concerned. Just a fantastic movie.
