My favorite was Top Gun.... lots of variation in emotions in this movie... romance... humor... loss... sadness... action....it covers almost every human emotion.... Not to mention who can resist a man in uniform.... especially singing to you.... even though they don't sing very well

Your cut shows all the emotions I was talking about... but the boys still can't sing... not their strong suit

My favorite movie in which Tom Cruise has a major role is not really a Tom Cruise movie at all, it's more of a Paul Newman movie, The Color of Money.

If you want a movie where Tom Cruise is the undisputed lead, it's a difficult call. There are many good ones, and yet none that would make a list of my favorite ever movies.

There's a lot to be said for Jerry Maguire...

Isn't "A few good men", more of a "Jack Nicholson" film, or "can't you handle the truth"!.

Jack Nicholson is awesome in that, but he's not the central character.

Throughout the film we follow Cruise, not Nicholson. In drama theory jargon Cruise is the protagonist, Nicholson is the the antagonist. A bit like Batman is not about the Joker, even if Nicholson's performance is the strongest.

In The Color of Money it's not the same thing. We follow Newman all through, and there's are stretches that don't involve Cruise at all.

Darn, I forgot A Few Good Men. Also a contender...

Ok, watching the clip again changed my mind. I'll go for A Few Good Men.

Tom Cruise is very good in this, and on top of that he's got a stellar supporting cast in great form and a cracking storyline to work with.

In drama you can really do with having a terrific enemy.

Like The Borg and Jack Nicholson. :)
