The Greatest Tom Cruise Performances Up To This Point

By Kyle Andrews


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.

But which films have been his best? The following movies are my favorites starring or featuring Tom Cruise.

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 film that holds a special place in my heart is Cameron Crowe's Vanilly Sky. From the casting (Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Jason Lee, Kurt Russel and of course Penelope Cruz) to the soundtrack to the cinematography, I love everything about 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.
