Last Box Office Hit Last Samurai! :lol it bombed totally! It cost 120 million to make and now after like 5 weeks it's only at 90 million...BUST!

It's only $30 million away in ticket sales from what it cost to make the movie. I'm surprised this movie made $90 million at the box office cause the previews looked wack. Tom Cruise hasn't done a good movie in a long time anyway.

people to call a $90 million grosser a flop is like people saying a cd floped if it sold 3 million when it could've sold 8

I don't agree. Vanilla Sky and Minority Report were his best movies ever IMO.

LOL@Vanilla Sky & Minority Report are the best movies he's ever done hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I hope you're joking. My favorite movies by him are Top Gun, The Outsiders, The Color Of Money, Risky Business, Cocktail, Rain Man(i love this movie to death cause of Dustin Hoffman).

I like those type of movies. Jerry Maguire was too typical, Mission Impossible 1 and 2 were just your average action movie, Top Gun is just plain overrated, Risky Business I loved when I was younger, but not something I want to see as an adult, Days Of Thunder wasn't very good.

Vanilla Sky and Minority Report were both unpredictable, well-written and innovative. Neither of them grossed as much as the godawful Mission Impossible movies, but both were better than the MI flicks.

And you need to make another thread about this Why?

I forgot about Mission Impossible 2. That was a tight movie. I wish the first one would've been good. Vanilla Sky was weird & it wasn't better than Mission Impossible 2. I haven't seen The Firm & A Few Good Men but i bet those are good movies.

I saw some of 'A Few Good Men'- I actually can't remember ever watching a Tom Cruise film from start to finish- I may have watched all of Top Gun (what I remember of it- I hate)- I caught 20 minutes of Risky Business on tv once- pretty good film. But- I thought that the whole 'You can't handle the truth' line in 'A Few Good Men' was one of the worst delivered great quotes of all time- anyone else agree?!

I like "weird" artsy type movies that make you think. Vanilla Sky actually stuck with you after the movie was finished, you forgot all about MI2 as soon as it ended. I prefer plots to action, that's just me.

The Firm is the absolute nadir of Tom's career, it's like 3 hours long and you get bored with it after 45 mins.

I'm glad Tom started doing more unconventional movies instead of being the king of bland like Ben Affleck
