I don't think he's a particularly talented actor, however I did like:
1) Risky Business
2) Taps
3) Color of Money

i generally enjoy his movies - although I don't think he makes them

although my favorite role of his is the one where he was the cocky young pilot/bartender/race cardriver/etc who faces adversity and eventually grows as a person, becomes the tops at what he does and gets the girl!

Not a Cruise fan at all but my favorite movie of his is prolly The Last Samurai.. I didnt pick it because he gave a good performance..In fact I cant really say he ever made a movie where his performance was the reason I liked it.. I just picked that one because it my favorite out of the ones he did..

I think his best performance was in Magnolia. He really surprised me in that one. He was also pretty good in Born on the Fourth of July.

Absolutely Magnolia. No contest.

However, I loved him in The Outsiders, All the Right Moves, Risky Business, and Taps

Agreed!

Eh, I'd have to say his best roles to me were in A Few Good Men and Top Gun. Didn't really care for anything else he did.

You also said that you loved a Knight's Tale and Summer Catch which automatically disqualifies you from any discussion of real movies.:)

His best performance was Rainman, where in my opinion he outperformed Hoffman.

I didn't think A Knight's Tale was that bad. Summer Catch though..... blah.

Summer School on the other hand.............

Lots of good ones listed. Despite him belonging to a cult and being strange, he has made some good movies and had some good performances.

I liked him also in [SIZE=-1]The Last Samurai. [/SIZE]
