Weekly Poll Results: Best Tom Cruise Movie

Posted by on November 4th, 2011   Filed under: Polls

Although I can’t say it was a huge surprise, Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report topped last week’s poll of Tom Cruise movies with over 20% of the votes. The sci-fi action/adventure had just the right mix of critical and commercial success to take out all of the other choices. Michael Mann’s Collateral came in at #2 thanks to a villainous turn by Cruise, followed closely by Tony Scott’s iconic Top Gun. Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut and Cameron Crowe’s Jerry Maguire rounded out the top 5. Way down at the bottom of the list, The Color of Money didn’t seem to get much love, but I suppose a lot less people have seen it. Do you agree with these results?

1. Minority Report — 22.2%
2. Collateral — 14.7%
3. Top Gun — 12.9%
4. Eyes Wide Shut — 9.3%
5. Jerry Maguire — 9%
6. Interview with the Vampire — 8.6%
7. Rain Man — 8.1%
7. A Few Good Men — 8.1%
9. Born on the Fourth of July — 4.3%
10. The Color of Money — 2.7%

    I voted for color of money. To tell you truth, I remember Newman’s performance more than Cruise’s, and it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.

    But, whether I was right or not in voting it his best movie, it deserves more love than 2.7%…

    COLLATERAL is the best, imo.

    And maybe not many Filmjunk readers have seen BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, but it deserved to rank higher. Great movie, and Cruise is great in it.

    Top Gun didn’t win? I guess people just weren’t ready for the dangerzone.

    Interview is the best but Minority Report is pretty awesome as well.. No one can be as intense as TOM CRUISE!!

  • Ovenball

    I don’t like Minority Report.

  • Jsin

    no legend?

  • THE COLOR OF MONEY got my vote all the way. I love that flick. I also loved the first MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. Why can’t we get more like that? I need to find the 80s series and watch it again. It was my favorite show every Sunday!!!

  • Was there a thing called VANILLA SKY?

    I found Minority Report to be unusually mediocre. It was good, but it didn’t blow me away.

  • Great list man, Tom cruise !! I just love him watching.
