subject: A Variety Of The Best Movies From The Talented Actor, Tom Cruise [print this page] 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.
One movie that certainly makes the list of Tom Cruise movies for me is Risky Business. This is one of the iconic high school films of the 1980s, even if doesn't take place within the school, per se.
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.
