Tom Cruise has made a huge headway for himself starting in his early 20s. He has made several movies throughout his lifetime, many of them have been more successful and popular than others. No matter how many movies that Tom Cruise makes, here are the top 5 that he will always be remembered for.
1Days of Thunder
This was the first movie like it of its time. Not many people were willing to create movies about auto racing because the risks are very high in terms of people getting seriously injured. Tom Cruise actually drove the race car that was used in the movie, although not at record breaking speeds. Cruise was aloud to drive on the track doing 90 and then it was fast forwarded in the making to make it seem as if he went faster.

2Cocktail
Tom plays an ambitious bartender that not only makes one of the best speeches ever in this movie, but also some fancy mixing moves. This is a classic early 90′s Tom Cruise movie that many people love because he looks young and sexy.

3Top Gun
Top Gun is one of the most popular movies, world wide, hands down. Top Gun has been quoted in several other more recent movies, and is one of the top flight movies of all time. It’s sad, funny, and a great watch no matter what.
