Tom Cruise has an incredibly strong and consistent filmography for someone who has remained so active for almost forty years

While just looking through Tom Cruise’s filmography I was surprised that for someone with 49 acting credits who has been acting nonstop since 1981 he has a very strong record with multiple classics and nothing too terrible or that bombed too hard. Obviously he is still a massive movie star (which is equally impressive to still be such a huge name after all these years) and everone knows he is a legend this was still impressive to realize.1981 Endless Love1981 Taps1983 The Outsiders1983 Losin' It1983 Risky Business1983 All the Right Moves1985 Legend1986 Top Gun1986 The Color of Money1988 Cocktail1988 Rain Man1989 Born on the Fourth of July1990 Days of Thunder1992 Far and Away1992 A Few Good Men1993 The Firm1994 Interview with the Vampire1996 Mission: Impossible1996 Jerry Maguire1999 Eyes Wide Shut1999 Magnolia2000 Mission: Impossible 22001 Vanilla Sky2002 Minority Report2002 Austin Powers in Goldmember2003 The Last Samurai2004 Collateral2005 War of the Worlds2006 Mission: Impossible III2007 Lions for Lambs2008 Tropic Thunder2008 Valkyrie2010 Knight and Day2011 Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol2012 Rock of Ages2012 Jack Reacher (a real Popcorn Classic)2013 Oblivion2014 Edge of Tomorrow2015 Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation2016 Jack Reacher: Never Go Back2017 The Mummy2017 American Made2018 Mission: Impossible – FalloutWhile their are the occasional blunder especially the past decade (The Mummy, American Made Rock of Ages) this still a very strong record financially with his combined movies making over 10 billion worldwide and critically with only the first two background supporting roles having under a 5/10 on IMDB.Is he an excellent actor? I wouldn’t say so but he does what he does very well and he has been in some excellent movies like Eyes Wide Shut and MagnoliaDo actors with better filmographies exist? Yeah obviously but so many don’t work as consistently as he does.and yeah he is a scientologist which isn’t really cool but everyone knows thatWhats your favorite Tom Cruise role?Who do you think has a better long running filmography?Will he survive the upcoming SpaceX produces movie set in actual space? or is he doing it as an elaborate way to die in space with his gods? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/35BhFp5
