Tom has charisma and he is interesting to listen to.

He looks like he did in Risky Business after being put through the Face App.

He is a true professional and that's why he keeps getting loads of work even though his acting is not on an elite level.  I find most of his movies boring and as if he plays the same character in every movie.  When I see him on screen he comes across as Tom Cruise and not as the character he is playing.  His real life character is much more interesting than anyone he plays on the silver screen.

Maybe he is bought and paid for (whatever that means) but he has an incredible work ethic going from film to film with almost no time off between movies.  Not many are willing to do that.  He is also very easy to work with with no diva complex or uppity attitude.  He is also very friendly to everyone on and off set.

Good point Wes, but a little unfair - after all, he wasn't around for you to see him during the silent movies era, was he..?   ;) ;D

It’s understandable since back in your time, televisions didn’t even exist

I admit he does come off as a fairly normal person

Tom starred in several major movies that were considered theatrical successes. But even if you don’t like those early/mid 80’s movies, look at this list:

Magnolia
Minority Report
Eyes Wide Shut
A few Good Men
Tropic Thunder
Collateral
The Firm
Rain Man
Born on The Fourth of July
Last Samurai
Vanilla Sky
Far and Away
Jerry Maguire





Can you honestly say that he wasn’t at least ‘good’ in those movies?

I guess I have a different take. I find his movies are always worth seeing. Very few bombs. Most are a fun time and you never left the movies thinking I should have stayed home.

There`s 4-5 in there that I actually liked a lot.

His 80`s stuff sucked the most I guess.

I can't wait for this movie to come out. When the original Top Gun was released, it made practically every guy I knew want to become a fighter pilot. It was a great moving for the time in which it was released (1986). Shit, I remember wanting to move out to San Diego to be able to live the way in which the movie portrayed folks (by the beach, in great weather, riding motorcycles etc).

A truly iconic piece of 1980's cinematography.
