- The best Tom Cruise movies ranked (by Rotten Tomatoes) shows the timeline of highest grossing Tom Cruise movies as well as the best Tom Cruise movies of all time from the year 1981 to 2022. In this video, the list ranks the Tom Cruise movies by best in ratings as well as grossing using the comparison Bar Chart Race graph. It is a visual representation of data which highlights the best Tom Cruise movies over time. Note that the gross number represents the worldwide box-office gross in dollars and the list is not adjusted for inflation.
From his teen idol days in the early ’80s to his status as a marquee-lighting leading man today, Tom Cruise has consistently done it all for decades - he’s completed impossible missions, learned about Wapner time in Rain Man, driven the highway to the danger zone in Top Gun, and done wonders for Bob Seger’s royalty statements in Risky Business, to offer just a few examples. Mr. Cruise is one of the few honest-to-goodness film stars left in the Hollywood firmament, so whether you’re a hardcore fan or just interested in a refresher course on his filmography, we’re here to take a fond look back at a truly impressive career and rank all Tom Cruise movies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tom Cruise is an American actor and producer who made his film debut with a minor role in the 1981 romantic drama Endless Love. His breakthrough role was in the coming-of-age comedy Risky Business (1983), which garnered Cruise his first nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. In 1986, Cruise played a Naval Aviator in the Tony Scott-directed action drama #topgun (the highest-grossing film that year), and also appeared with Paul Newman in the Martin Scorsese-directed drama The Color of Money. Two years later, he starred with Dustin Hoffman in the Academy Award for Best Picture-winning drama Rain Man (1988), and also appeared in the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture-winning romantic drama Cocktail (1988). In doing so #tomcruise became the first and only person as of 2014 to star in a Best Picture Oscar winner and a Worst Picture Razzie winner in the same year. His next role was as anti-war activist Ron Kovic in the film adaptation of Kovic's memoir of the same name, Born on the Fourth of July (1989), for which he received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Drama.
In 1992, he starred opposite Jack Nicholson in the legal drama A Few Good Men, an adaptation of the Broadway play of the same name also written by Aaron Sorkin. Cruise next appeared in The Firm (1993), a film adaptation of the John Grisham legal thriller of the same name, and in the same year also made his directorial debut by directing an episode of the anthology television series Fallen Angels. Cruise starred as spy Ethan Hunt in the action film Mission: Impossible (1996), the first project of his production company Cruise/Wagner Productions, which he had co-founded with Paula Wagner in 1993. As of 2018, Cruise has appeared in five more films in the #missionimpossible franchise: Mission: Impossible 2 (2000), Mission: Impossible III (2006), Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011), Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015), and Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018).

Top Gun: Maverick will find its way into the list sooner than later. It’s already Cruise’s highest-grossing opening weekend of his career.
But I think Maverick will not top Fallout. Fallout has about 800 million USD and is on place 89 on the highest grossing movies ever.
@@Julia25120 It depends on how other films coming out fair. If Maverick ends up being better received than the others, it may have legs throughout the Summer.
@@Julia25120 I think that It can beat Fallout, the movie was launched less than 15 days ago and achieved 550 millions already.
@@Julia25120 It's on track to pass a billion
@@Julia25120 Top Gun Maverick is already 72% to fallout's box office in less than 2 weeks.
Yeah, that last 200+ million will be a much slower climb, as most people that REALLY wanted to see it, already have, & Jurassic World/Lightyear will be the new box office films to dominate the coming weeks, but there's still a crap ton of buzz around this movie, I wouldn't be surprised if it hits 800 million by the end of June, so essentially surpassing Fallout in a month, while likely still having a decent number of screens still showing for another 2-3 weeks.
The man, the myth, the legend Tom Cruise. Top Gun: Maverick is a phenomenal film and a love letter to the cinematic experience.
Top Gun: Maverick will be in the list of the hughest rotten tomatoes ranking of Tom Cruise movies.
I totally agree, I went to see it last Sunday and it was amazing! Definitely better than the first one, as it had a plot and more action (not saying the first one isn’t good). This film is definitely a candidate for best film of year for me.
Definitely my all time favorite movie
Incredibly phenomenal!
@@subbienautica6931 I fully agree!!
All the news articles always seem so surprised by Tom Cruise's consistent box office success, but the reason is simple: his movies are really, really good.
He works with really good directors
@@MrWarrenRB I mean he also makes a lot of the decisions in his own movies. He doesn’t let them be trash
@@MrWarrenRB he’s a filmmaker. He collaborates more than works under them
and he is nice to people
@@MrWarrenRB The directors follow whatever his vision is, he finances all of his movies and has complete control over the final product
The Last Samurai deserves more recognition. My favourite TC movie. Such a beautiful movie.
just watched it, and its amazing.
Seriously. 66% on Rotten Tomatoes?! Pfft
Yes I liked it so much ,great movie ,very emotional 💗
@@Kevin-sr8yx The woke crowd thought it was a "white savior" movie when in fact it's the exact opposite.
@@mdmyer Such a beautiful movie. You're right, the samurai culture saved his life.
edge of tomorrow being so low down in the box office is such a shame
I agree it was too good to not be one of his highest grossing films
its marketing campaign was pretty awful as far as I remember. But easily one of the best indeed
He's at such a level that even a bad movie from him is still going to be good.
Edge of Tomorrow was a huge hit relatively but still seems to be totally under rated in my opinion. One of his best I think.
Absolutely.
Agreed
so good, top 3 Cruise movie
I agree, was pleasantly surprised how good Edge of Tomorrow was, definitely an underrated one of his movies. I also thought Collateral was excellent and on the underrated side
Best anime adaptation by far
Just coming to say that Top Gun: Maverick surpassed $1B and it's oficially his biggest box office! ( Also one of his most critically acclaimed movies )
@mec 900M now
@Khartikeyen Satheraman It just happened!
It’s also surpassed the Titanic for the most engrossed movie for Paramount. I’d say about most people have seen it more than once. This movie marks the first time that I actually seen a movie more than once in theaters. Worth 1.2 billion now
And it has a 99% Rotten Tomatoes which would be #1 on this list.
@@mynamedoesntfi--6161 No, it's 97%
Oh My Gosh... Top Gun: Maverick is a spectacular experience at the movies. One of the best movies I've ever seen.
True! But Mission Impossible 7 will be better! 💙💙
Love how each Mission Impossible basically does better than the last
That's what not correcting for inflation does
except the third movie
@@markvanderwerf8592 no, each MI just did better than the one before it.
Also has something to do with cinemas and the movie industry growing :) But they actually arent far if the take the top 3.
Amazing how many great/good/enjoyable films the man has made during his career. Outstanding.
it really is. you can tell he doesn't care about making the boring Oscar bait he makes movies for people to enjoy
Mission impossible is lit
Top Gun Maverick just hit over 1 Billion world wide.
Tom Cruise is an icon of my generation. The Firm, American Made, Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick are my favorites.
just noticed American Made didn't in the ranking
I feel like Oblivian was a incredibly unrated movie with insanely good cinematography.
you are right..
Absolutely, the acting along with the scenes and CGI is honestly stunning, one of my favourites :D
@@devcrazyy9276 the shocker was whe we found out Jack and Victoria were clones and what really happened to them.. it was such a great movie.
Finally someone says it
The last true Action Hero. There may be better movies with stunts, but when he's in a movie with stunts, you KNOW he's the one in front of the camera, not a double.
That makes me respect him all the more.
I think Keanu Reeves has something to say
Jason Statham, keanu, Jackie (albeit mostly Chinese movies these days) denzel son did most his stuff in tennet, plus more. I think Jackie did a movie named last action hero, can't remember lol.
So what ? You think using stuntmen makes you a pu!sy??
Cant beat the jackie chan classics from his prime, he took it to another level
The Rock is the new action hero.
One of the most legendary careers in all of Hollywood History. Dude practically rewrote the book on how to be a star, and in 2022 is the last movie star we’ve got.
I think Dwayne Johnson qualifies as a movie star also.
@@joemckim1183 I like The Rock, but no. Just no, cant even compare.
@@sigvekjnny8380 the rock is one of the worst actors in Hollywood, period. It’s kind of funny because the only film I’ve ever liked him in was a Michael Bay film Pain & Gain. He was perfectly cast for that role and it worked! Outside of that film I think he’s one of the most overrated and overhyped actors in existence, should have stuck with wrestling because he’s a terrible actor and nowhere even close to the greatness of Tom Cruise.
@@joemckim1183 Dwayne was never nominated to Oscars as far as I know nor has been star of Oscar movie like Rain Man nor played with legenda like Gene Hackman, Paul Newman or Dustin Hoffman. It is trully remarkable that Tom Cruise is biggest star for 4 decades still making amazing movies (although less dramas, more blockbusters recent years). I think Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio can compete with Tom Cruise is same star level category, but they are not guaranteed to make amazing movie (well maybe Leo is) AND big box office. With Tom Cruise you can be sure to see something spectacular with good acting and producers can be sure they will make money. Brad Pitt doesn't have this power nor strong franchise he is in, Leonardo is also in more serious films without any Franchise, only Depp has Pirates making big bucks, but he js not guaranteed to make absolutely amazing movie to watch. Dwayne Johnson is definitely good money maker, but again - no franchise, not guaranteed the movie will be great - he plays himself in all these action flicks (similar to Jason Statham).
@@johnhorak2000 As far as Dwayne not having any franchises. It's true he usually just joins other people's franchises as the franchise Viagra as he calls it. But he has the Jumanji movies which you can easily say is his franchise.
Tom my man the legend of Hollywood❤️
💯
hero?? manipulativ, familiy destroying member of the Cult called scientology
Minority Report and oblivion is highly underrated. I loved Last Samurai. I love Top Gun. Tom Cruise just keeps giving. He was awesome in interview with the vampire. Tom Cruise is just awesome.
One of my all time favourites is Oblivion. Incredible visuals, amazing music score, great story (if you like sci-fi). Extremely underrated movie.
Bruh you might consider making a sequel tier list. Because Top Gun Maverick Grossed over 1 billion at the box office...
Usually a Tom Cruise film at its worst is mediocre, never really poor. The man delivers on a ridiculously consistent level. His work ethic and dedication to his craft is truly inspiring. One of the last true movie stars.
Mediocre ? Really
Yeah I mean the worst Tom Cruise movies are usually mediocre at the very least, as in they are still decent movies most of the time. He has made some brilliant films, with Top Gun: Maverick easily one of the best he's done. Reading back I realise my statement may be slightly confusing in the way I've framed it. I was speaking to how consistent he is, one of the best actors/filmmakers around for me.
its kinda meaningless when you don't take inflation into account...
The Last Samurai is in my opinion one of his best films, and is sorely underrated by critics and the populous. Good film, check it out if you havent.
The Last Weeaboo
just watched it, and its amazing!
American Made is underrated because it shows how dirty our government has been. Its not just a D/R thing either. Lots of good movies on that list. They could do a Tom Cruise 4k Box set and I bet it would do very well.
Officially over 1 billion dollars earned for Top Gun Maverick!! I've seen it 4 times!
War of The Worlds is one of my all time favorite science fiction movie. The ending seemed a little rushed and boring but overall a great movie that is deserving of a sequel. A sequel that follows the overall premise of the first one but with a better ending and maybe slightly better effects could easily become the greatest alien invasion movie ever
Well it had to have the same ending as the book.
Yeah HG wells intended his original story be more realistic rather than full of heroism
your not the only one I littarly Have made a lego one my channel has the video
Holy crap it’s crazy how many movies he had each year, this man had back to back bangers multiple freakin times
War of the worlds is my childhood fav movie 😍🔥
Epic one
Awesome movie 🙌🏻
My top 5: War of the Worlds, Mission: Impossible, Eyes Wide Shut, Collateral, Edge of Tomorrow. Yet to see, Top Gun 2.
Siren blaring
The biggest movie star of all time
Top Gun: Maverick. The greatest movie of all time.
The last time I've seen something so good when it was released A Star is Born or Joker. 👏👏👏
@@lumaia9271 Fair enough!
Have you seen anything before the year 2010?
@@janski1982 Yes. What about you?
And now Top Gun: Maverick is his highest grossing movie and on its way to $1 billion
Top gun maverick going to the 1 billion mark.
Bruh 😑, it already crossed 1 billion 1 week ago, now top gun maverik is now at 1.119 billion
@@rohan7382 no
@@rohan7382 maverick
1.237 billion now.
TopGun Maverick is now over $1.2 billion
Idc about the box office...his performance in Interview with the vampire is most fun and most different thing he has ever done. He totally shined in a role of Lestat.
Days Of Thunder most underrated Cruise move. I loved it.
Everyone forgets John C. Riley was in Days of Thunder.
1. Top gun 2. Mission impossible 3. Days of thunder
War of the Worlds and Top Gun Maverick 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
edge of tomorrow so underrated 🥲
And here comes Top Gun: Maverick, number 1 with 1.3b box-office 😁
TC doesn’t make a bad movie and I think his acting skills are underrated.
My top 5 in no order.
All the right moves
Risky business
MI fallout
Edge of tomorrow
Top gun 1 and 2!
His performance in Tropic Thunder's truly underrated
Tom’s net worth is $600 Million, and he earned every dime of it. He did many of his own stunts, including piloting fighter jets for both Top Gun movies. He has worked very hard for it. He directed many of these movies. He makes excellent action and drama movies.
Tom Cruise is a legend. I love his movies so much. So hyped for Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning, I cant wait till 2023.
@@Vanessalein That looks really good, but its almost too new world order ish, a little creepy.
First mission impossible is so goddamn good plot twist af
My coworkers LAUGHED at me when I said that Tom Cruise is on my "Action Star Mount Rushmore". In my eyes, he is right up there with the other super stars.
Tom Cruise
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Bruce Lee
Sylvester Stallone
After Maverick I would agree with you.
He's not as intimidating as the other guys but his movies are entertaining. He won't be in the Expendables. He may not be able to out fight them... but he can outrun them.
Nothing against the other three but Tom Cruise is also phenomenal actor, something you cannot say about the other three guys ….
I can respect all of these men for very different reasons. I think that over a career, Jackie Chan is the only one who can compete (and perhaps even exceed) TC on doing his own stunts. JC did more physical, TC more technical (not just learning to fly but becoming an expert helicopter pilot requires a mental and technical acumen that I think exceeds expert martial arts, like comparing a genius at sport vs a genius at surgery, both incredibly impressive but I am more impressed by the surgeon than the sports star, but I’m an amateur pilot and paramedic so a bit biased).
Stallone never gets his due in mass appeal but those who know realize his brilliance in creating all of his most iconic rolls, especially Rocky. The creativity and the longevity of his career is impressive.
Then there is Arnold… a foreign body builder who could barely speak English, becomes an actor and politician… there really is nothing more that can be said, it’s unbelievable. But right now, Tom is living in the spotlight truly like never before.
6. Mission: Impossible 3 5. Mission: Impossible 4. Mission: Impossible 2 3. Mission: Impossible - Rouge Nation 2. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 1. Mission: Impossible - Fallout
👌🏻🔥
This is fucken confusing to read
didn't understand why mission impossible 2 in fourth place
@@sr.little2128 Cause that's where he has the best hair. That's the only thing I can think of.
@@THE_BEAR_JEW yeah, maybe, but it's a horrible movie
Would like to see the list adjusted for inflation. Top Gun hung on the list for a long time even being released in '86.
I got into TC films from his films from 86 to 88 so top gun, the color of money, cocktail and rain man. I love the cocky persona stage in this period I just find he just electric in these films, especially like when mime dancing to werewolves of London (and his hair was perfect) gets me everytime.. these films were and still in heavy watching rotation.. He makes his movies watchable.
This is one of the coolest CZcams videos I have ever seen! Thanks for producing it!
To me all his movies are good, regardless of how they did in the box office or reviews. Who trusts rotten tomatoes anymore anyway? Top gun is definitely way better than 53%.
If you had Top Gun: Maverick in there, it would be off the charts!
More money made does not equate a better movie. Just needed to put that out there.
I am a Tom Cruise fan.
Top Gun Maverick is by far the best movie released in the last few yrs
Me: I feel like *Tom Cruise*
is the only action star that is dedicated to do crazier stunts.
Keanu Reeves: *starts walking*
For me, his best : Collateral - Magnolia - Born a 4th of July
You will have to remake it again because Topgun : Maverick will be his biggest grossing film and will beat all his films 😂😂
about 1 billion
Thats true, but I remember that Fallout grossed 811,1 million, strange that it says 787,1.
Handsome, skill, talented, attitude 👌🏻 Tom Cruise the best!
Indeed 🙌🏻
@@StatsOverTime 😍🤟🤟
Collateral should have at least 400 million. It is a amazing movie.
Having been born in 89, his best will always be the first Mission Impossible imo. The way it starts with the failed mission is so intense.
Legend 🔥 awesome 👌thanks for this videos ❤️
All time favorite actor - TOM CRUISE
All time favorite movie - JERRY MAGUIRE
Some unforgettable lines from JERRY MAGUIRE
"You had me at hello"
"Show me the money"
"Help me, help you"
MI3, MI4, Edge of Tomorrow, and Rain Man are definitely my favorites
Mission Impossible Fallout: I am... Inevitable.
Top Gun: Maverick: And i... am... Top Gun: Maverick (Snaps)
Alot of underrated gems here but Collateral 2004 has to be his most underrated role. He played Vincent perfectly
Tom Cruise could have his own Streaming Service *Tom Cruise*
and I'd be lost in there for months
Even watching movies from start to finish. There are great movies in majority than bad ones
Lots of great compliments for Tom. Not enough for you for putting this together. 👍🏻
Top Gun Maverick now 97%
Awesome content!! Keep up the good work💯
Thanks😃🙌🏻
Should have added top gun maverick, you’ll never get bored watching it over and over and over again
Wow 😍 this gives me nostalgic feel ❤️
Great video. I love it!
Knight and day I loved watching it❤️
At the time I didn't like the movie, maybe I was expecting something else. I have watched it again a few days ago. I loved it so much. Tom's sense of humour is absolutely amazing in this film. Looks like I didn't get it the first time.
@@SebTheFrenchGuy "I'm the guy!!!!" :)
@@KennyLamTravel 🤣🤣🤣
@@KennyLamTravel “I've been trained to dismantle a bomb in the pitch black with nothing but a safety pin and a Junior Mint, I think I can get you in and out of some clothes without... looking. I'm not saying that's what I did.”
@@SebTheFrenchGuy exactly 😍💜
Think of his private life whatever you want but he is a great actor with amazing charisma.
I really enjoy watching his movies, as almost all of them are really good.
The fact, that he hasn't won an Oscar yet is really sad.
I hope, that he at least receives a lifetime Oscar soon.
I’ve pretty much watched every movie he’s made and met him in person as well
Wow🖤🥺
My dear Mum hates Tom Cruise, IDK why, even she can't explain it XD But I like him.
For me, his best roles are in "Knight of the Day" and "Ghost Protocol".
Solid video
Maverick will sweep this board and be #1.
But Fallout has $800 million. It is hard to beat.
@@Julia25120 it made a quarter of Fallout's box office in one week. It'll beat it.
The colour of money
A few good men
Rain man
And born on the 4th of July are my favourites
Top Gun 2 is at 97% 😄
So is mission impossible fallout
A good representation of why Rotten Tomatoes ratings mean absolutely nothing. Some of his better films are around 50-60%
Nice work. Please do it for all the greatest actors!
Sure! Glad you like it🙌🏻
It would be cool to see these totals adjusted for inflation.
Would be interesting to see adjusted for inflation.
These numbers should have been corrected to inflation.
It's either Top Gun Maverick or MI: Fallout for me. Both had my jaw on the floor. It's probably Fallout but it's a tough call
Good video
But, where did you find the data?
Legend🔥🙌
Just one Word, He is Legend.
This guy has the most highest rated action movies of all time. You know how hard is that when both critics and fans like your movies.
Now it's top gun maverick on the top
Nice video😍 Tom Cruise 🔥 what a career!!
Absolutely! Legendary career 🔥🔥
One of the indeed
💯💯
🙌🏻💯
He is the richest actor in the world. 😍
Top Gun: Maverick is already at $885 million lmao, knew it was gonna pass Fallout
My favorite Tom Cruise Video has to be Top Gun Maverick...
New missing movies:
Top Gun Maverick: 1.508 billion
Mission Impossible 7: 978.3 million
7 isn't even out yet. Tf
Tom is a legend... period!
He is... yet Legend may have been his worst performance, ironically.
Top Gun just grossed a billion in 1 month, need that update
What’s the name of the last soundtrack, at the Rotten Tomatoes Ranking? Its awesome
Crazy how much money is his name earning PLUS almost all of it are high quality movies with one or maybe two exceptions (like Mummy, which I don't even remember what was is about).
The last samurai one of my favorites
Edge of Tomorrow. More people need to watch that one
Very surprised on the ratings for some of his earlier films, which I consider great. Also sad how well The Mummy did compared to others. I guess it shows how well a big name can get people to see a film, regardless of quality.
love the fact that it has a 75 SQN Hornet on the thumbnail
Yesssss!!🔥
Legend was sick.. I need to watch that bad ass movie again!
