Not sure if I can do 10, but Magnolia is undoubtedly his best, followed by Collateral.
American Made is a pretty underrated turn from him.

1. Born on the Fourth of July
2. Magnolia
3. Collateral
4. Jerry Maguire
5. The Firm
6. Rain Man
7. Eyes Wide Shut
8. Interview with the Vampire
9. A Few Good Men
10. Vanilla Sky
Honorable mentions: Big part of his filmography? He's always committed, almost never disappoints. But gotta mention "Lions for Lambs" as it's an underrated performance by him and he single-handedly makes "Rock of Ages" worth-watching. Terrific actor.

My favorite movie star. Not only one of the best filmographies in Hollywood history, but one of the most fascinating personas. His rich, complex, murky iconography and how it relates to the fascinating arc of his career is so much an integral part of his mythos. Nearly every Cruise movie - whether intentionally or not - can be read as a metaphor for Cruise as a movie star, where he is at that point in his career, etc. I doubt I'll ever tire of watching the man.
1. Magnolia
2. Collateral
3. Eyes Wide Shut
4. Vanilla Sky
5. Jerry Maguire
6. A Few Good Men
7. Edge of Tomorrow
8. Born on the Fourth of July
9. Tropic Thunder
10. Top Gun: Maverick
This is really hard for me to do ... and the bottom five of that list would look completely different depending on the day. And my top ten Tom Cruise movies would be quite a bit different - but that's a whole other story, though something I'd love to talk about as well.

It is fascinating how his career is reflective of characters and vice versa. Particularly the evolution of Ethan Hunt seem to parallel his own life. |

Um......I think he's been great twice - Magnolia, Collateral........ and better than good from time to time...... Tropic Thunder, Born on the 4th of July. But this would be in the top 10 if I had such a thing - I mean......the actorly control (looking at you Oscar winner / doofus / cuckold Will Smith), the staying on his brand, the tough guy yet hurt sensitivity of it all, the triumphant movie star million dollar smiling at the end, not to mention his improvisational skills.......he does everything right except get the girl ..........but that would have been impossible here unless he turned and made out with his publicists / handlers who he looks like he might instead punch for giving him the towel tbh  |

There are people who love Tom Cruise performance, there are people that hate them, and there are, most I guess, that not love or hated them.-
I think he is a charismatic actor that with the propper material could do great thinks, despite the fact I was never trully impressed about him specially in his last roles, he looks like a stuffed animal.-
I guess the 80s and early 90s were his best work.-
not in a particular order

Born on the 4th of July
A Few Good Men
