I love Kubrick, but holy shit was that movie awful.

Agree with the first commenter, that Cruise's more populist works were his best.

His performance in Fourth of July is flawless. Just look to the scene when he gets kicked out of his parents house, or even his speech at the end.

Ah…no.

BTW, in Top Gun, Maverick was a NAVY pilot, not Air Force.

You guys are crazy man… crazy… but I still like you.

fuck you.

I guess these are the only Tome Cruise films I ever watch… Simply because I don't really like action movies and well… Tom Cruise. But his performance in Magnolia is awesome!

I think "Mission: Impossible" 1 & 3 are a good deal superior to "Minority Report," which is sleepy and drab and philosophically confused. Honestly, I'd take "The Firm" and "A Few Good Men" over most of these.
