The end.

For me it is Rain Man and Collateral. I haven't seen all of Jerry McGuire so I can't give my thoughts on that one.

in collateral i think!

It's Rain Man for sure. I think Cruise is a smart actor in that he takes roles that work for him.

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

For me, it's a tie between "Jerry Maguire" and "Collateral"

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

Random order:

Rain Man
Valkyrie
The Last Samurai
Jerry Maguire
Magnolia

EDIT: HOW can i forget Magnolia??!

Magnoliaaaaaa

cause you know he was just playing himself.

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

Probably Magnolia. But I also thought he was great as Lestat.

collateral, the last samurai, top gun. jerry mcguire(sp?) is also good.

Interview With the Vampire.

I'm not a big fan of Tom Cruise. He is certainly not who I would have pictured as Lestat from reading the books, but he owned this role completely. I think he's better in blockbuster fodder than when he actually tries to act.

Runners up probably Rain Man and Eyes Wide Shut.

Holy crap this takes me back...

I was almost going to say Legend, but I really need to watch it first and see if I like it as much as I remember liking it.

Damn, I forgot about "The Color of Money" - great flick :up:

I forgot about Vanilla Sky. That would be up there right after Rain Man.

yes! legend! i still have that movie buried in my collection somewhere. i must dig it out soon, and watch it.

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

Toss-up between Jerry Maguire and A Few Good Men.

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

Let me just say that I think his "cameo" or supporting part in Tropic Thunder is one of the most overrated parts in any movie, ever.
