Lol, I heard somewhere that all Tom Cruises movies are the same:

"He was a Jet Pilot, pretty good Jet Pilot, until he has a crisis of confidence, can't Pilot Jets anymore, until he finds the love of a good woman who lets him Pilot Jets again.

He was a Sports Agent, pretty good sports agent, until he has a crisis of confidence, can't be a Sports Agent anymore, until he finds the love of a good woman who lets him be a Sports Agent again.

He was a Race Car Driver, pretty good Race Car Driver, until he has a crisis of confidence, can't Race Cars anymore, until he finds the love of a good woman who lets him Race Cars again.

He could be a scrabble player for all I care! Pretty good scrabble player, until he drew all vowels! Had a crisis of consonants! Until he finds the love of a Welsh woman who teaches him lots of words with too many vowels in them.."

Anyway! you get the picture, I think it was Rich Hall..

he was a self centered jerk, he meets Dustin Hoffman, he has a crisis of confidence and he becomes a nice guy.

yeah, I see what you mean.

The truth is that I don't think I've seen any movies he's made in years... none of them appeal to me. Even many of his older films weren't very good, but everyone went to see them to catch a glimpse of his bare butt.

... okay, checked out IMDB... the last Tom Cruise movie I saw was... Interview with the Vampire. I thought he did a good job in that movie, perhaps he was playing to type. I admit that I've never seen Magnolia, but I keep meaning to. I'm just absent minded.

Hmm.
He was a bartener, pretty good bartender, until he has a crisis of confidence, can't mix drinks anymore, until he finds the love of a good woman who lets him mix drinks again.

He was a vampire, pretty good vampire, until he has a crisis of getting roasted to a crisp, can't bite necks anymore, until he finds the blood of a good victim who lets him bite necks again.

He was a sex addicted doctor, pretty good sex addicted doctor, until he has a crisis of confidence, can't have clandestine sex anymore, until he finds the love of a good woman who lets him have clandestine sex again.

He was a Mission Impossible agent, pretty good Mission Impossible agent, until he has a crisis of confidence, can't spy anymore, until he finds the love of a good woman who lets him spy again.

I think we're on a roll here!

I was very disappointed that the aliens in War of the Worlds didn't eat his face (or his screaming brat daughter, or his narcassitic brat son). Other than that, it was a great movie with really sexy aliens.

I agree here. I wish the inlaws were toasted also. The movie would have been 100 times better if Tom Cruise and his entire extended family was killed in the first 5 minutes. I liked the movie a bunch though. I would love to see a version of this movie directed by Ridley Scott.

I do like some of Tom's work. I really liked Eyes Wide Shut but I'm a hardcore Kubrick fan.

Answer: All of them.

I had to agree with Ebert though -- the idea that the tripod is a more stable configuration than 2 legs, or 4, is ridiculous.

That and they didn't eat Cruise.

In Risky Business he didn't have a crisis of confidence or find the love of a good woman. He was an arrogant jerk and bought a hooker who then took him for all he was worth. It was a new area for him.

Well how stable did they have to be anyhow they had a big force field =pPpp.

Instead of eating, I think they would have sprayed cruise's blood for fertilizer right? that was the whole plot synapsis.

I wonder why they didnt raid the sewage system instead. Humans produce more waste than they have blood, especially when the aliens had disintegrated a whole bunch of them.

I liked the tom cruise movie about the Professional Hit man who attempts to frame up the taxi driver. That was more entertaining to me than most of his movies ( and less of a hit, im sure.)

Of course a lot of us liked Top Gun but that was partly an 80's thing - not for many rational reasons like plot or acting.

Collateral. Good movie, mostly because of Jamie Foxx. And the sound track.

In it, Cruise plays an arrogant hit man who will never get another piece of nookie in his life, but is redeemed by a nobody taxi driver who takes a lucky shot... right through his skull.
