Tom Cruise's best performance?

[Billy Costigan]

I have to go with Born On The 4th of July (1989). Cruise goes from a high school athlete, to a Marine in Vietnam, to a paraplegic in a wheelchair, to a disillusioned vet, to an alcoholic, to an activist, and then a redeemed man. Some superb acting.

Tropic Thunder....and it isn't even close.

 

[volmanbill]

Les Grossman

I agree. I like quite a few of his movies which probably puts me in the minority but that was always my favorite.

I like every movie I've seen of his except Knight and Day.

Vanilla Sky
A Few Good Men
Magnolia

Valkyrie was enjoyable

 

[Pulscifer]

Valkyrie. Love that movie. I thought he did a great job and looked just like the guy he portrayed. I also like Top Gun and the MI movies.

 

[TXA&M07]

Mav throws like a girl, but TOP GUN gets my vote.

 

[superdave1984]

No mention of Risky Business?

No mention of Risky Business?

about as significant as his role in The Outsiders, minus the tighty whiteys. Unless that's your thing bro.

 

[rjd970]

A few good men, collateral gets honorable mention.

Don't care for the rest.
