Tom Cruise's all time best movies ranked including 'breathtaking and moving' 80s classic
A full list of Tom Cruise's movies has been ranked from best to worst, according to their Rotten Tomatoes scores, with some surprise entries doing better than you might expect Tom Cruise, the quintessential '80s Hollywood heartthrob, has been dazzling audiences for decades, and now we've got the definitive list of his best and worst films. Rotten Tomatoes, the esteemed review aggregator, has crunched the numbers, using authentic critiques to sort through Cruise's extensive filmography. The rankings may throw up a few surprises, with some of Cruise's more obscure roles securing spots in the top 10, while others are expected entries thanks to widespread critical praise. Topping the charts as the actor's most celebrated work, according to viewer ratings, is the high-octane Mission: Impossible-Fallout. The 2018 blockbuster, which is the sixth instalment in the Mission: Impossible saga, has garnered an outstanding 98% rating, making it a clear fan favourite. One critic said: "Mission: Impossible - Fallout is hands down one of the best action movies I've seen in a while. The stunts are absolutely wild, and knowing Tom Cruise actually did them makes it even crazier." They added: "The pacing keeps you locked in from start to finish-there's never a dull moment. The story ties in nicely with the previous films but still stands strong on its own." Cruise's reputation for performing his own death-defying stunts has certainly paid off, influencing the high ranking of his stunt-laden features, with the recent hit Top Gun: Maverick soaring into second place in the 2022 charts. Unexpected entries have climbed the rankings out of 44 films, with the 2002 Steven Spielberg hit Minority Report making a notable appearance. It's closely tailed by Spielberg's 1988 classic Rain Man, which is just a whisker behind with an 88% rating, followed by The Color of Money in tenth place. Discussing Rain Man, the Mirror US reports that one film enthusiast remarked it is a "comedy that brings you to tears when the credits role". They added: "A breathtaking and moving film with such fantastic acting from both lead roles, with Tom Cruise showcasing that he can be more than a blockbuster protagonist who runs and jumps. It is a lost gem, and I hope it gains more attention as years go on." Languishing at the bottom of the pile, in 44th place with a mere 9% score, is the romantic comedy Cocktail. In this early Tom Cruise vehicle, he plays a New York bartender with grand ambitions that take him to Jamaica to open his own bar. The general view labels the film as rather "average," though some critics are more scathing. A review stated: "Yes, Tom Cruise has charisma. All that doesn't change the fact that this film isn't that good. Much like Cruise's character, Brian, this story drifts along without any real purpose." It continued: "And while the acting isn't terrible, the writing is watered down, and the characters are one-dimensional. It seems that the filmmakers didn't get the mix right when it comes to Cocktail." The Top 10 Rotten Tomatoes ranking Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) Top Gun: Maverick (2022) Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) Risky Business (1983) Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Minority Report (2002) Rain Man (1988) The Color of Money (1986)

The 8 Most Jaw-Dropping Stunts Performed By Tom Cruise In The Mission: Impossible Series
Jumping Between Biplanes - Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning I'm sorry, but I don't understand how Tom Cruise is still alive after all these years performing these death-defying stunts. With the climactic biplane chase scene in The Final Reckoning, Cruise and Company outdid themselves. Not only is Cruise hanging off a flying plane, but he must jump onto another flying one and get into the cockpit. Pure insanity, and we loved every minute of it. Piloting and Falling Out of a Helicopter - Mission: Impossible - Fallout By the end of Fallout, Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt should be out of breath. After all, the audience certainly is! Yet, here he is, climbing up to a mobile helicopter, flying it, and falling out of it in a thrilling chase sequence. This action setpiece was practically a victory lap for the M:I team in their most daring mission to date. Free-Fall Motorcycle Jump - Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Although Dead Reckoning was relatively light on bonkers stunts, it slowly built up to one of the most harrowing set pieces in the franchise's history. In one of the most meticulously crafted stunts, one error could've derailed everything and potentially harmed Cruise's life. But of course, the star successfully vaulted from a moving motorcycle off a ledge. Even more impressive than the execution of the stunt is the breathtaking photography capturing Cruise's audaciousness. Burj Khalifa - Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Anyone who experienced the IMAX aspect ratio shift when Tom Cruise steps out onto the ledge inside the Burj Khalifa in Ghost Protocol is truly blessed. More reliant on sweat-inducing thrills than visceral action (while also providing an unexpected amount of laughs), you feel like Cruise will plummet to the earth's crust at any moment. The actor and the filmmakers behind M:I never make it easy on themselves. Only they would think to perform a free-solo climb on one of the tallest buildings in the world. Underwater Submarine Dive - Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning In a shocking change of pace for the series, The Final Reckoning's first major set piece features no dialogue or score. The audience is forced to sit with Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt as he submerges into the deep sea and searches through the ruins of a submarine. It's eerily claustrophobic and moody, and being a world-class super-spy never seemed so scary. HALO Jump - Mission: Impossible - Fallout Fallout gets to an incredibly fast start, and by the time Tom Cruise is performing a real HALO jump from an aircraft, moving through the clouds at breakneck speed, the film is officially shot out of a canon. It's almost amusing how much Cruise is willing to go to entertain us and push the boundaries for stunt performance in movies. Hanging Off the Side of a Plane - Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation In a bold storytelling decision, Rogue Nation uses his signature stunt in the cold open, and what a way to grab the audience's attention. You can see it in his face--Tom Cruise is holding on for dear life as a plane takes off at full speed. It may not factor into the main plot of the film, but it captures the essence of M:I to a tee. Free Solo Climb - Mission: Impossible II Mission: Impossible II is known for its dazzling style that doesn't always amount to substance. This impressive, while now relatively rudimentary stunt, speaks to the gaudy nature of the series' second entry. Tom Cruise is in pure movie star mode as he does a free-solo climb on a mountain. The minimalism of the stunt enhances the maximalism of the film's larger-than-life movie star, who hasn't lost a beat twenty years later.

Tom Cruise Eating Popcorn Is Going Viral
Tom Cruise is a whole It's been almost thirty years since hunky heartthrob Ethan Hunt (Tom) dangled from a ceiling in the first Mission: Impossible movie based on the 1966 TV series. The legendary leading man who's become a household name from the '80s and beyond is back in Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning. Truth be told, my jaw is on the floor because the action sequences look more dangerous than ever before. But, to my surprise, doing death-defying stunts in your late 50s/early 60s in one of the highest-grossing and long-running series of all time is not why Tommy is going viral. Eight movies of Tom's unbelievable stunts —jumping from helicopters, running from explosions, leaping from tall buildings, dangling from more helicopters — and THE BIGGEST STUNT GOING VIRAL IS HIM EATING POPCORN! In a video posted by user @seifwtf on X, Tom went in on a popcorn bucket, aggressively flinging pieces into his mouth at the BFI IMAX Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) screening. Tom also received a BFI Fellowship at the BFI Chair's Dinner, but all folks wanted to talk about was this single moment of him eating a bag of popcorn. People had hilarious reactions to Tom's high-octane eating popcorn-eating technique. One person said, "this is how my dad eats popcorn." This person suggested that "someone hand him heavier popcorn," and maybe that would help. I can't believe somebody compared him to a Nep-Enut from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. This user said, "I have got to change the way I eat popcorn." Someone else said Tom is "Just leaving mountain of popcorn on the floor in his wake," and I'm curious if this is true. I love the way this person incorporated Mission: Impossible lore into their joke. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get it in your mouth, not on the floor," they wrote. "Man, I'm eating popcorn," Tom said, laughing. "They know when I'm going to these movies that I'm watching, I'm eating popcorn." Tom Cruise is serious about cinema and the movie theater experience; his popcorn practices are just an element of that dedication. You remember this 2023 promotional video for Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning? In another viral video shared on X, Tom was urging a fan to "go get some more" popcorn since he ate it all before the movie began. One person asked, "If you've not finished your popcorn before the movie starts have you been been to the cinema?" Someone else suggested, "This dude can never go to the movies again. Just embarrassing," after being called out by Tom. Tom should make an ASMR channel where he eats different types of popcorn in different movie theaters. Based on the internet's reactions, it would do numbers.
