A Variety Of The Most Memorable Films From The Passionate Thespian, Tom Cruise

By Kyle Andrews


Whether or not you like the guy, it is tough to deny that Tom Cruise is a worldwide superstar. Cruise has been in the Hollywood spotlight for almost 30 years, and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Sure, he's had his share of duds over the years, but he has also starred in some amazing films.

Whether or not you are a fan of him as a person, it is hard to argue with Tom Cruise's list of movies that he has starred in. Here are some of my favorites.

One movie that starred Tom Cruise in a different type of role was Collateral. This Michael Mann directed drama depicts Cruise as a villain for one of the few times in his career, and in my opinion, it was one of his better roles.

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.

It is impossible to make a list of the best Tom Cruise movies without mentioning an action film. For me, it never got better than Days Of Thunder. This remains one of the best racing films (if not the best) to this day.

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.

Of course, one movie that must be mentioned on this list is Rain Main. This is an absolutely incredible film, and Dustin Hoffman delivers the role of his career. It was no surprise that this movie won the Oscar for Best Picture of the Year.

On a more comedic note, Tropic Thunder featured Tom Cruise as a ridiculous movie executive and helped put the iconic actor back in the spotlight after a few off years. Supposedly they are making a spinoff based around the character Les Grossman.
