Tom Cruise: Favorite 80's movie?

Recommended Posts

My top five...

 

1. The Color of Money

 

2. All the right moves

 

3. Risky Business

 

4. Top Gun

 

5. Rain Man

 

All were entertaining. It's a close call. Dude had some gems early in his career.

Serious lack on Born on the 4th of July in here.

He deserved an Oscar for that performance.

 

But I have a hard time calling the movie good. In fact, Ive never watched it a second time. Its way too depressing.

Top gun.

 

A few good men was my favorite of his all time, but it was 90s.

I used to love that movie ( afgm) until after repeated viewings I realized how anti-military it was. Will still watch it, but with new eyes.

I dont really see it that way at all.

 

Yeah, some bad stuff happened in the military and an officer tried to cover his ass. Eventually, through the military system of justice, justice was done. And the offenders were booted out as dishonorable, even though they were under orders. The defendants learned respect for cruise, and a new appreciation for what a soldier is supposed to stand for.

 

Thats all we expect from cops and soldiers. Yeah, sh!ts gonna get done wrong from time to time. Just own it and try to fix it going forward.

Aaron Sorkin. Nuff said. All the Marines except the black guy are all flawed or stupid as . The magic negro (it's a thing in movies, look it up) shows his young squire the proper way to human. Contrived garbage. It's also an attack on masculinity, one of the first.

Wasn't he like some kind of goat character or something?

 

Some kind of freak fantasy movie?

30 years later... this music is still an aphrodisiac

And in general, the music in many of these Cruise movies is iconic - it'd make a good spinoff thread - music from Rain Man, Cocktail, Risky Business, etc
