Could be a regional thing if you're in NASCAR country. Theres nothing Nascar around here. Its just a super iconic movie that everyone loves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is? I mean, it was cashing in on the trend of "put Tom Cruise in a fast machine for instant dolla" back in the day, but it's hardly iconic even among Cruise pictures.

But it's barely even on the radar of the Tom Cruise pantheon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,488 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Risky Business, Top Gun, Rain Man, A Few Good Men, Mission Impossible, Jerry Maguire, those are the iconic Cruise movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,477 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I thought days of Thunder was iconic. Also, the Color of Money and Interview with a Vampire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days of Thunder is definitely in there. (but I'm not saying it necessarily deserves better than the 38% it had mentioned from earlier -- and neither do most of the "iconic" Tom Cruise movies -- they are popcorn fun, but they're all pretty cheesy in their own way) Edited December 15, 2020 by arch_8ngel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,725 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 As a NASCAR fan, I consider Days of Thunder to be "ok." It's not a bad movie, but if I'm asked to make a list of 10 great Tom Cruise films, it's probably not in the top 10 for me. The Firm is another good one I didn't see mentioned above.

Kguillemette | 1,543 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Tropic Thunder was clearly the best and most iconic movie Tom Cruise was in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's more like Cocktail and The Firm. Not Legend terrible, but not still appearing in lame references on messageboards . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,510 Editorials Team · Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Well now we clearly have to do Tom Cruise year for the movie debates. ...where we'll be doing Magnolia, Edge of Tomorrow, and Tropic Thunder. Not frickin' Color of Money and Days of Cocktail. JESU'M PEET. (not to disparage CoM, but I bet 6 of us have seen it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRobot | 5,786 Events Team · Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Also Cocktail kicks ass because of its soundtrack. I give Cocktail an 8 for Kokomo alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,595 Homebrew Team · Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 What are you left with if there are no critic reviews? Just aggregate user scores? Those really don't mean much. I can't tell if my taste align based on an aggregate score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coreys month. There's 2 of em. And I'd be fine if it ended after that. There should also be a bonus poll for which Corey is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,595 Homebrew Team · Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 @Reed Rothchild it goes back to what you were saying, a review from someone you have a track record with that aligns with your own tastes means more than scores. Also context of what the genre is. The scores may be misaligned between users and critics based on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
