    Oh, damn! I loved Collateral. I’ve seen it probably four times.

    That would be my first choice.

    A Few Good Men.

    It's also one of my favorite films overall.

    If there was any film evidence of his marriage to Katie Holmes I'd say that one.

    If not then I'd say ...
    Risky Business
    All The Right Moves
    Taps
    Rain Man

    Chris DeVoe RIP Vickie Mapes Williams (aka Equipoise)

    I'll see anything he's in, but I'll pay for a different film.

    Budget constraints fair enough.

    The Last Samurai. I'm not sure I think Cruise is particularly good in it but I like the film a lot.

    The Firm?

    Gene Hackman wasn’t keen on the billing.

    Another one he excels in though Paul Newman is pretty terrific in it ..The Color Of Money.

    For me it's a toss up between Minority Report and Mission Impossible.

    oh yeah, I love Legend, especially the longer Directors cut with the original soundtrack that was replaced by one from Tangerine Dream in the American theatrical release. Some scenes are rearranged for the better too.

    But, since we only get one pick, it's Vanilla Sky.

    Minority Report(2002) filmed on digital.
    Can anything be done with the blue screen.

    Backlight glare is annoying.

    Yes! She was put to good use in Oblivion.

    Can't say I'm a big Tom Cruise fan, but I do quite like Far and Away and Interview With a Vampire.

    Interview with A Vampire is where I first found merit in films.

    And Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz is a nice pair too. :rolleyes: Sorry, had to do it.

    For my money Tom Cruise has been THE action hero of the last 15 or so years. You have to admire his tenacity and the fact his movies are largely what James Bond was to the 1970's. His best performance is probably Magnolia, Collateral or Rain Man. However, I enjoy all of these modern action blockbusters:

    Minority Report
    War of the Worlds (not Steven's best, but fun.)
    M:I 3 - nearly ruined by shaky cam.
    Knight and Day - underrated
    Ghost Protocol
    Jack Reacher
    Oblivion
    Live Die Repeat
    Rogue Nation
    Fallout - not as good as the previous 2 M:I
    The Mummy (fun, if stupid, attempt at a franchise.)

    Only the 2nd Jack Reacher felt like a big disappointment.

    I saw the Spanish movie first and liked it too but to be honest I liked the touches that Cameron Crowe put on his film. Penelope Cruz was a beautiful gem both times.
