    I think he was in his prime in the '80s and '90s. I haven't liked much of his work since the 2000s hit.

    Magnolia is my absolute favorite of his because he legit is just playing a characature of himself.

    Tom's best performance is undoubtedly his ability to act straight for the past 50 years. It's a fantastic achievement.

    smurf you all, Legend is his best film.

    Mission: Impossible is my favorite film he's in, but I'm torn between his performances in Magnolia and Interview with the Vampire. I love Jerry McGuire and The Last Samurai. Rain Man is good. A Few Good Men is good. I don't know why Vanilla Sky gets so much hate; I liked it.

    Magnolia. The best and correct answer is Magnolia.

    Jerry Maguire is my favorite Cruise movie and one of my favorite films, period, but I'm not sure it's his career-best performance. He delivers Cameron Crowe's material perfectly, but he may be better in Collateral or Rain Man. He really transforms in Collateral.

    trout I need to see Magnolia huh

    His whole trying to ship Scientology as a reasonable intellectual discourse has been pretty good so far. Unfortunately it's lacking that certain something to make it a fully convincing performance.

    Being serious though: Magnolia.

    You definitely would remember if you've seen it. The ending is unforgettable.

    In agreement. His typical Tom Cruise attitude makes him the perfect fit for Lestat.
