quote:saw it; wasn't impressed. But you seem not to understand it says mount rushmore of Tom Cruise movies, not mount rushmore of acting jobs. Very few people care about movies like that compared to blockbusters.
I can tell that most of you have never bothered to watch his Born On The Fourth Of July masterpiece of acting. His best, hands down.
quote:excellent grasp of the obvious and unavoidable. Death rate is the same everywhere.
he’s losing his youthful looks and will soon have to take the route of other young leading men and play some more mature rolls

Had never seen Edge of Tomorrow until this thread

It is great. Don't remember it getting a lot of marketing when it was in the theater, which is odd for a Cruise film; maybe because he was more of a supporting role.

I don’t find his newer movies to be great. Edge of tomorrow and War of the Worlds are great, but I feel not memorable enough.

liked it. Similar to liking Knight and Day and Minority Report.
My wife and I like to view Knight and Day as a doc on the day in the life of a Tom Cruise who really does believe he’s a spy bc he’s gone too deep into method acting.

Glad someone bumped this, man Cruise has been in some great movies. Almost need to do a MR by decade.
My attempt:
Risky business
A few good men
Minority report
Collateral
shite, if I made this list tomorrow it's be completely different.
*not including tropic thunder because I don't consider it a tom cruise movie.

I unashamedly love that movie. I think it Tom poking fun at himself and this persona people think he has.
I know the whole Scientology thing is nutballs, but outside of that by all accounts he’s the ultimate professional actor and every interview anyone gives about him is how great he is to work with.

Tom Cruise may be the most reliable movie star in my lifetime.
With few exceptions, if he's chosen to be in it, it's going to be pretty watchable.
I think guys like DiCaprio, Damon, etc might have "higher highs" but they've also had more stinkers than Cruise.
To me, for whatever reason, Cruise movies always seem to be satisfying on some level. I think he has a knack for attaching himself to mostly good, re-watchable movies.
