6 Jerry Maguire 1996 Close Within the same year as the bombastic action of Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise released a more down-to-earth sports comedy that often gets unfairly shadowed by the other giants of his filmography.

4 Minority Report 2002 Close Minority Report PG-13 In Minority Report's utopian future, where murders can be predicted and prevented, police chief John Anderton is accused of a crime he hasn't committed and goes on the run to prove his innocence.

The Last Samurai finally gave Tom Cruise his long-deserved dues as an impressive lead performer, earning him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. While Western reviews of the film were merely average, describing it as a stock standard period epic, the film did surprisingly well in Japan, being one of the better Western depictions of the setting according to Japanese critics.
