God, Rain Man was fantastic.
On that note, Tom Cruise's early stuff when he hit the scene (A Few Good Men, Days of Thunder, Rain Man, The Firm, The Color of Money etc.) is his best work. I'd wish he'd go back to making films like that.
For about 10 years now, we've gotten Action Man Tom Cruise. 3-4 Mission Impossibles, The Mummy remake remake, Jack Reacher. I've avoided them all for the most part.
Batshit craziness and Scientology aside, he's great. But, I know he can do better films and get back in the Oscar conversation.
