The Greatest Tom Cruise Films So Far

By Omar Philips


Tom Cruise has had some fantastic movies over the years. He went through a period where he was not so favorable in the public eye (jumping on the couch incident on Oprah/preaching Scientology), but he has somehow managed to win audiences over again. In my opinion, he was always great, even if he was a little too emotional about certain issues.

But which films have been his best? The following movies are my favorites starring or featuring Tom Cruise.

The first movie I will mention also happened to be my Halloween costume last year, and that film was Risky Business. The scene in this movie where Cruise is running around his house in sunglasses and socks has become an iconic scene.

Another movie which I will mention is Interview With The Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles. Long before the world became fascinated with Vampires (ahem, Twilight and True Blood), Tom Cruise starred in this awesome film. This movie also stars Brad Pitt and Christian Slater.

It is impossible to make a list of the best Tom Cruise movies without mentioning an action film. For me, it never got better than Days Of Thunder. This remains one of the best racing films (if not the best) to this day.

One film that holds a special place in my heart is Cameron Crowe's Vanilly Sky. From the casting (Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Jason Lee, Kurt Russel and of course Penelope Cruz) to the soundtrack to the cinematography, I love everything about this movie.

Of course, one movie that must be mentioned on this list is Rain Main. This is an absolutely incredible film, and Dustin Hoffman delivers the role of his career. It was no surprise that this movie won the Oscar for Best Picture of the Year.

These are just some of the greatest Tom Cruise movies, but there are surely others which I have failed to mention. If you have not seen any movies on this list, then you have some work to do, as they are all worthy of seeing.
