I’m not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also never watched the MI franchise, but otherwise he knows how to pick good scripts… Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Tropic Thunder, Minority Report, Top Gun, Rain man, Edge of Tomorrow, The Firm. There are still a bunch I never saw so there may be some rotten tomatoes in the basket
His Scientology bullshit creeps me out to the max, but i have to admit that i will watch any movie he makes, because they are always good, and sometimes great.
Do yourself a favor, and watch the MI series. They are nonsensical but really fun, with some of the best action sequences ever filmed, and he does the stunts himself. They also get better as the series comtinues.
He DOES have some bad movies, but not many. I really don’t like the guy either, but I like a lot of his movies. You forgot Oblivion and Jerry Maguire for instance.
Hollywood lore on YouTube hasn’t done a video on him yet.
A Few Good Men has my favourite Tom Cruise roll
Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.
But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven’t seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been
He was kind of amazing in Rock of Ages. That was a unique character in his catalogue, I’ve never seen him play a role anything like it.
Im also a big fan of Les Grossman.
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
Don’t forget The Mummy remake, it was so bad they cancelled the Dark Universe because of it.
““Kurtzman called the experience “brutal” and described The Mummy as “probably the biggest failure” of his life.””
Ah, I’ve even seen that one! Good call
I’d also add Eyes Wide Shut

Helge Schneider maybe?
He doesn’t even like most of his own movies. Dude has no taste it seems.
michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.
lol EEAAO is not for everyone
John Cazale
Yep, this is the one I was scrolling down to find.
Godfather.
Godfather 2.
The Conversation.
Dog Day Afternoon.
The Deer Hunter.All five Best Picture Oscar nominees, three winners.
Possibly the only proper answer if we put a minimum on the number of films required to be considered.
Viggo Mortensen
If only he skipped Daylight.
I feel like in order for an actor to have many good movies/roles they should have a couppla bad ones. Builds character.
Christopher Walken?
Biloxi Blues, baby.
“You would need two promotions to get to be an asshole.”
A View to a Kill is one of the worst bond movies
A shame too because it was such a waste to use Walken and Duran Duran in such a crappy movie.
2 people I know watched Mouse Hunt for the first time this month and both hated it. Not really his movie though, I guess
DanielWillem DafoeThe Robinson Crusoe author?

Bela Lugosi
I heard from Bauhaus that he’s dead.

Undead! Undead! Undead!
Plan 9 from Outer Space!
Dubbed the worst film ever made. To be fair to Bela Lugosi, he had no choice in the matter as he appeared in the film posthumously.
Dubbed the worst film ever made.
hey no fair. being tricked as an art student into watching that is a rite of passage
Joe rogan
Gene Hackman had a pretty good run
The Conversation is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The feeling you get from that movie is so strange and I love it.
All my life, I would always watch ANY movie that Gene Hackman was in. I never saw him give a bad performance.
Jeff Stryker.
Tom Hanks.
I’ve never seen a bad Tom Hanks movie.
He is in this abomination of a book adaptation for Incredibly loud and extremely close.
I actually kinda liked it and btw it was nominated for best picture
Tom Hanks is close, but Cloud Atlas exists.
Cloud Atlas was brilliant.
It really was.
I wanted to like Cloud Atlas. It felt like it was fighting itself for air time. I’ll give it another try someday.
You should make sure to say T. Hanks.
Elvis. Sully. There’s two right off the top of my head.
Fuck the film Sully for dragging the NTSB through the mud for fake drama. Absolute fucking hack writing that disrespects heroes of safety.
I like pretty much anything Fred Ward was in. Remo Williams will never die
Remo Williams is an under-rated masterpiece. It should have been an extended franchise, but they weren’t really much into that back then.
dobermans chasing you up ladders is nightmare fuel.
Miami Blues was such a treat.
