Top 10 Tom Cruise Movies

10. A Few Good Men (1992) Roll: Lt. Daniel Kaffee; This list wasn’t easy… I had to leave a lot of good movies off this list. I like this one too much to leave it off, though. Cruise did a great job, I think, of a JAG lawyer.

9. Jack Reacher (2012) Roll: Jack Reacher; This movie didn’t get great reviews, but I thought it was great. I think the sequel is coming out later this year.

8. Knight and Day (2010) Roll: Roy Miller; This is an action movie with a lot of laughs… or a comedy with a lot of action. Either way, I like it.

7. Jerry Maguire (1996) Roll: Jerry Maguire; “SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!!!”

6. The Firm (1993) Roll: Mitch McDeere; This movie was adapted from the great John Grisham novel by the same name.

5. Rain Man (1988) Roll: Charlie Babbitt; While the movie is best known for the role Dustin Hoffman played, the story of growth is really about the selfish young jerk of a character played by Tom Cruise learning to love the big brother he never really knew.

4. Days of Thunder (1990) Roll: Cole Trickle; Even if you don’t like NASCAR, you’ll like it after watching this movie.

3. Cocktail (1988) Roll: Brian Flanagan; Who knew bartending was so much fun?

2. Risky Business (1983) Roll: Joel Goodson; This has one of the most well-known lip-synch scenes in movie history.

1. Top Gun (1986) Role: Lt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell; Tom Cruise was so good in this movie that I wanted to fly jets for the Navy. I hate flying and I hate being so far out on the water that I can’t see land. Think about that…
