Gripe on F16 got me thinking. Despite being a nut job, dude is an American icon, and has one hell of a catalog.

In your opinion, what is the best, worst, and most underrated Tom Cruise movie.

Best: Rain Man
Worst: Magnolia
Most Underrated: American Made

Magnolia worst? Huh? That's his best performance by far.

Oblivion was my second choice for underrated. Man when you first responded I opened up a list of ranked Tom Cruise movies and Magnolia was pretty high up. It's been 20 years since I've seen it so maybe it's worth another go.

And also, damn. There are some Cruise movies I've never even heard of or have blocked out of memory. Losing It, Legends, and Lions for Lambs. It also reminded me how awful Cocktail was.

Cruise has a pretty incredible filmography. Even looking at his "B tier", that could be anyone else's A tier.

Minority Report, Jerry Maguire, MI: Fallout, A Few Good Men...

Wait, do you think MI: Fallout and Jerry Maguire are in his B tier?

Just my personal one. Granted, I love Eyes Wide Shut more than most. Kubrick fanboy here.

Best: A Few Good Men, Top Gun, Jerry Maguire
Worst: Rock of Ages, Interview with the Vampire, Oblivion
Most Underrated: All the Right Moves, Valkyrie, War of the Worlds (sorry BES)

Even in his worst films, his performances are interesting and they're not completely unwatchable.

I don't know that I would ever put Cruise in my top tier list of actors, but I rarely don't enjoy a Tom Cruise movie. He is incredible at picking parts that suit him. As an actor, he seems to know what he is and doesn't usually stray too far from that. His personal life is a different matter...

Best: Minority Report (Very tough to choose)
Worst: The Mummy (I actually haven't seen this, but it looks pretty bad)
Underrated: Edge of Tomorrow

I went to IMDb to find the worst, and by god, I like every movie he's ever been in. Even Cocktail. No ESPECIALLY cocktail.

I really enjoyed the last 2-3 Mission Impossible movies.

Edge of Tomorrow and Minority Report for science fiction efforts.

Risky Business, All the Right Movies, and Rain Man for early in his career movies.

Top Gun is a fun one but it seems dated these days. Perhaps the sequel will rekindle the original TG.

I hated The Mummy.

War of the Worlds had potential and had some fantastic stuff, but overall that movie sucked. I blame Spielberg more for that.

Edge of Tomorrow question:

How did Emily Blunt know she was "out" when he had a blood transfusion? Wouldn't she just think she was in, die, and then that be it for her?

Far and Away is worst Cruise film IMO.
Edge of Tomorrow is underrated
Jack Reacher are my favorites. Flame away.

I believe she could "feel it" that she lost it.

Also who cares ...I could watch her do upward dog all day long.

Edge of tommorow was such a delightful surprise when I watched it. All I knew about it was a "dude, you gotta watch this movie" recommendation

Honestly tough to choose. I consider all the films below to be great movies. I know people think the guy is insane, but I don't understand not watching these movies.

Mission Impossible 3-6
Edge of Tomorrow
Minority Report
Few Good Men
The Firm
Top Gun
The Last Samurai
Collateral
Jerry Maguire
Valkyrie
Oblivion

There is empirical evidence that shows if everyone had simultaneously watched Top Gun back in March, it would have vaporized the coronavirus with the sheer power of awesomeness.

He's in Willow? I thought that was Val Kilmer and Cruise was in the similar Legend. Haven't seen either since I was a kid though, so I could be wrong.

When planes aren't in the air, that is one of the most cringy movies ever made. I'm almost embarrassed to watch some of the scenes in that movie.
