Ranking Tom Cruise’s Movies

We have come to the end of the Tom Cruise season of Ten Movies. The legacy of America’s Last Great American Movie Star is strong. He is a strange man, but he makes big, old-fashioned movies and he is 100% committed, whether he’s leaping out of an exploding helicopter or swanning around turn-of-the-century New Orleans as a bitchy vampire in an off-putting wig.

In this final episode of the season, Brian and Hemal discuss the ten movies we watched this season and provide the definitive ranking. While we typically enjoy disagreeing, we were pretty much on the same page when it came to Mr. Cruise’s oeuvre. Although we did disagree on what should go at number one.

What did we decide? And, more importantly, what did we learn about the dark, quotidian heart of America along the way? These are fine and righteous questions, and we encourage you to find out by listening to the episode.
