Paul Rudd gets a pass with me because he's amusing to me. Unlike Rogan who is just rude and obnoxious. An interesting Rogan note - did you know in Pineapple Express, originally he and Franco were to play the opposites role? Which makes the hot girlfriend make WAY more sense.

It's from a movie I love called The Sasquatch Gang or Sasquatch Dumpling Gang in some places.

You're right, I got a little over zealous with my post and didn't proof it before posting as well as I should. Soda was between Howell and Swayze and Steve Randle was the family friend who worked at the gas station with Soda

I'd love to re-watch Good Morning Vietnam, Philadelphia, or Great Expectations as I enjoyed each film but they don't scream to me "Watch this now!"

Top Gun is a movie I'd love a little bit more if I hadn't watched it 1320 times growing up. It's similar to Tombstone for me in that it remains an Iconic movie but loses a lot of it polish (outside one-liners) when you have to watch it on what seems like a bi-weekly basis. To the Outsiders role he played - He in no way affected the movie other than being casted in an excellent movie. Soda pop (Rob Lowe) and Two Bit ("and I was like... EEEMMMMIIIIILLLLLLLLIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!") were much better than the minor role that Cruise played as the middle Curtis child which furthers my claims that Cruise is far too often not the "stand out" in movies he is involved in.

As stated before, this is my own personal view on the actor. It can be taken in any direction dependent upon an individual’s taste. I know many people who hate Chuck Norris and his films even if I enjoy them, or people who would argue that Hudson Hawk was idiotic even when I consider it to be one of Willis’ best roles. It’s all subjective, regardless of what the internet tells you to believe is good/bad, right/wrong, pleasing/appalling.

I liked the movie but thought Cruise was inter changeable.

I actually prefer Vanilla Sky to Minority Report. You guys seem to be missing my point. It's not that Tom Cruise was in a bunch of shit movies, but that the roles he played I could often see being interchanged with other actors and having the same outcome (from a performance stand point, minus the "oh my GaWdDd it's Tom F'n Cruise!!!!" factor that he brings to a movie with him). As I stated, it was one of the few Tom Cruise "roles" I enjoyed him in; not Tom Cruise Movies - Clarified yet?

Seriously what the....
