1.Eyes Wide Shut
2.The Color of the Money
3.Top Gun !

I give credit to Tom Cruise. Outside a few turds , he always made solid work. Not great , but also not mediocre.

Magnolia isn't really a To Cruise movie. I'd put Jerry Maguire at #1. The movie rises and falls on his shoulders and he nails it.

 

[Dark Raven]

I would say, in the top 5 for me are:

A Few Good Men
Jerry Maguire
The Firm
Top Gun
Mission Impossible 3

 

[The Endless]

Hmmm it's hard to put all my faves in a list so here is just a few.

Top Gun
Legend
Jerry Maguire
Minority Report
The Last Samurai
A Few Good Men
Edge of Tomorrow

Tom Cruise is awesome. The only real movie star left. His commitment to his films sets a bench mark all young wannabe leading men should aspire to.

Minority Report for me is a brilliant, on-the-edge-of-your seat mystery thriller

I say good movies IN SPITE of the presence of Tom Cruise:

• War of the Worlds
• A Few Good Men
• Interview With the Vampire

I liked him in WotW because his usually cocky character gets knocked down a few pegs by the end of the movie!

kinda hard to pick.. many great ones..

I really like Collateral... its so rare that he plays a villian and its a pretty awesome portrayal.

(also one of the only movies where the digital look doesnt bother me and enhances the overall style imo)

Magnolia isn't really a To Cruise movie. I'd put Jerry Maguire at #1. The movie rises and falls on his shoulders and he nails it.

Yeah it's not a typical Tom Cruise film, but it has his best performance and it's the best film he's been in IMO.

 

[dustbros]

Collateral is the best TC movie.(his best performance to say the least)

 

[titansupes]

This isn't my ranking, because I've never thought about it in those terms, but my favourites of his are -

Jerry Maguire
The Last Samurai
Collateral
Minority Report
A Few Good Men
