Who's looking forward to "Rock of Ages?"

Me either.

Really? I thought he was the best thing about Tropic Thunder. Anything specific about his part that you didn't like?

If he's anything like me, which he's not, it'll be the very fact it existed. Much like the film, actually. :D

Eyes Wide Shut and Magnolia are both great. I'm a fan of his and enjoy watches him on screen, Collateral is good and he has some great moments in Born on the Fourth of July, even if it is a heavy-handed message film.

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

Aye. He's great in Magnolia and I really dig him in the first and third Mission: Impossible. I think people are liable to forget, with all his general weirdness, that he's pretty flippin' talented and awfully good in the right roles.

I just didn't think it was oscar worthy? What exactly made it oscar worthy?

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

I'm probably one of the few who watched Knight and Day, but Cruise basically carries the film by being nonchalant and almost making fun of his screen persona.

Knight and Day I didn't watch in theaters... most stuff I don't, but I'd give it a chance if on Netflix. Does it have the Mr. and Mrs. Smith vibe going on?

Knight and Day is more comedic than Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I think.

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

I'd say, for sure, it's Mr. and Mrs. Smith II without the marriage counsellor. :cool:

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

i got to give it to the guy. he gives his heart and soul to all of his performances.

now i'm not the kind of movie fan that gives a damn about what they do outside of the movies. so all these couch jumping scientology thing, i couldn't care less. all i know is that he is a good actor and you see the amount of respect he gives to his audience by giving his all on all his movies.

he makes it a point to give something new in his projects, be it the characterization, a scene, a stunt, the story itself, etc.

my favorite tom cruise movie is magnolia, rain man, tropic thunder and born on the fourth

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

Mine would be 1.) RAIN MAN, 2.) TOP GUN 3.) THE SAMARAI

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

Close between Rain Man and Jerry Macguire. I liked them both a lot.

The Last Samurai

I also liked him a lot in Far And Away, Rain Man, Interview With The Vampire, and Tropic Thunder.

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

Rain Man is, in my opinion, one of his best performances.

I vote for Rain Man as well-- solid performance

True...especially the last scenes...And i like him in Jerry Maguire too..

Re: Favourite Tom Cruise Performance?
 

I'd probably say my favorite of his performances is Rain Man. He's not one of my favorites, but his movies are good. Worst performance is easily in Valkyrie - I couldn't get through the movie the characters were so loathsome.

Note to film-makers: If you've a character named Wolfgang, have his fellow Germans pronounce his name "Volf-Gank", not "wolf-gang" - American and German pronunciation differs immensely.

I'm into Top Gun and Rain man :)
