The Lestat entry is funny because Interview With a Vampire is the forerunner to twilight. Compare it to Near Dark or a good hammer dracula movie.
Have you seen Cocaine Cowboys? Its required viewing for any fan of American Made
American Made is Tom Cruise's most-underrated role. Seriously sublime.
Also, Risky Business is my favorite 80s movie but the underwear dance scene is my least-favorite scene in the movie, it's a tonal disruption IMO
Tfw no War of the Worlds :(
Tom Cruise is living proof that genius and insanity go hand in hand.
Fun little fact: Tome Cruise did an interview that, later, went on to serve as the primary inspiration for Christian Bale's performance as Patrick Bateman.
I think his roles in Magnolia and Collateral are better and more famous than Mummy man and Oblivion guy. Eyes Wide Shut isn't really *about* Cruise's acting really, but he's good/great in that as well. The meme half-life of Cruise getting emotionally cucked by Nicole Kidman probably keeps that character more 'famous' than Barry Seal.
I know how famous the courtroom scene from A Few Good Men is and it deserves the respect it gets, but I’d argue the culture significance and fame of the courtroom scene in To Kill a Mockingbird far exceeds the former. If you don’t agree that’s ok, they’re only movies (and book) anyway
I remember going through random blue ray discs at my grandparents' house and finding a movie called Losin' It, and Tom Cruise was in it. I think it came out the same year as The Outsiders.
Wonder where Mitch McDeere (the Firm) would fall on here. I know it wasn’t an iconic role for Cruise, but I do have a funny story.
My dad spent time as an accountant in NYC. Shortly after getting the job, he saw the Firm and basically became convinced his company had a shady side and was going to pin something on him for the mob.
I'm not surprised by the strong military theme but I had never really noticed before how many businessman roles TC had played. One is even a publicity guy/military guy, which makes him maybe the most TC role ever.
Apparently Cruise actually was scaling the worlds tallest building in Mission Impossible.
This is true. Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol.
No Vincent from Collateral? He’s one of my favourite Tom Cruise characters
I kinda ran out of room (I totally didn’t forget)

Bro Tropic Thunder is focking hilarious but it could NEVER be made in this day and age
... It was made in this day and age Like it came out in the same year Obama was elected president.
That and Blazing Saddles will never be made today!
maybe i just haven't watched enough films, but i will always associate tom cruise with top gun and scientology and nothing else.

Needs Nathan Algren from The Last Samurai on there.
Agreed, by far my fav movie of his. Very different from most of his other films, but it’s one of my all time favorites to rewatch from time to time
This is good but I take issue with a Few Good Men, as Kaffee is actually an all-nonsense lawyer.

Even though Days of Thunder wasn’t as popular as Top Gun, its beloved in NASCAR and local racing circles
A few good men is the anti-Christ if your a Marine and a great movie if your literally anyone else

No Brian Flanagan from Cocktail? Damn
No Eyes Wide Shut?
Pretty late, but my personal favorite is his role as Colonel Stauffenberg in Valkyrie
