Tom Cruise is one of the most accomplished actors that dominate the box office. He has managed to revamp his reputation and career in recent years and became a Hollywood icon. There are a lot of films stared Tom Cruise.
But which films have been his best? The following movies are my favorites starring or featuring Tom Cruise.
One movie that starred Tom Cruise in a different type of role was Collateral. This Michael Mann directed drama depicts Cruise as a villain for one of the few times in his career, and in my opinion, it was one of his better roles.
Jerry Maguire was arguably the greatest role of Tom Cruise's career. It was probably as close as he will ever get to winning an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and had it been released in a less competitive year, he very well may have won.
One film which I feel deserves to be mentioned is A Few Good Men.

Many people will line up to see a Tom Cruise film. He has been a very popular actor for years and years. Two of his biggest hits are available in a two pack on Blu-ray. Tom Cruise to star in Mission: Impossible 4
Mission Impossible 4 will possibly be the final installment in the successful Mission Impossible movie series. Tom Cruise will star Ethan Hunt, a highly trained and integral member of the Impossible Mission Force, who has little over a year and a half to figure out how to turn the impossible into a possibility. Tom Cruise: The Best and The Worst roles
YOu can love or you can hate Tom Cruise's role in movies, but it can not be denied that they are all interesting roles. Let see the performance of this super star in some of his famous films. Die Hard - My Favourite Action Movie
In 1988 a new movie came to our screens starring a relatively unknown actor called Bruce Willis, called Die Hard. It remains my absolutely favourite action movie to this very day.One interesting fact about this crime thriller is that writer Aaron Sorkin wrote the whole screenplay on napkins while he was working at a theater as a low level employee. Suffice it to say that this film was his big break.
Another great Tom Cruise film is Vanilla Sky. This movie just makes me happy. In my opinion, it is director Cameron Crowe's best film to date. Penelope Cruz shines, while Cameron Diaz and Jason Lee deliver great supporting roles.
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.
On a more comedic note, Tropic Thunder featured Tom Cruise as a ridiculous movie executive and helped put the iconic actor back in the spotlight after a few off years. Supposedly they are making a spinoff based around the character Les Grossman.
