Tropic Thunder: He was brilliant, you cant credit the script for that dance at the end.
War of the World: It may not be as good as the book but it is a good film, Cruise was good, but the guy who played his son was a bit weak.
Collateral: A great film with one of my favorite opening acts/scenes.
The Last Samurai: But then I do like most things eastern. As a note Billy Connolly was awful.
Minority Report: A good all round movie.
The Firm: Not scene it in years but liked it.
A Few Good Men: He is good in it but Jack is brilliant as usual.
Rain Man: Hoffman got all the credit for this film which is fair enough, but I think its Cruises' best performance.
Born on The Fourth of July: The most over acted piece of dribble I have ever scene.
One thing to remember is that he IS the most powerful actor in Hollywood with his films profit to cost ratio being higher than anyone's.
