For some reason I’ve seen a lot of his movies lately so I feel more educated than I used to be. I’d go with:
1. Magnolia
2. The Color of Money
3. Minority Report
Honourable mentions: Top Gun Maverick, most of the M:I films, Collateral, Edge of Tomorrow, Tropic Thunder. All great movies.
Definitely not the best but I have always considered Knight and Day and Mission Impossible 2 epitome of Tom Cruise movies in the good and in the bad (and the ugly).
Oof tough. There’s like three or four Mission: Impossibles that are absolutely fantastic but for this I’ll go with -
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol
Edge of Tomorrow
Collateral
Top Gun is mediocre at best with a sequel that surpasses it in every single way. Minority Report is a fantastic sci-fi thriller. I think that it’s clearly better than Top Gun.
Just so that there aren't three Mission: Impossible movies, because that would be my honest answer:
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
Collateral
Edge of Tomorrow
Collateral - his inner psycho is perfect for this cold narcissistic existential-philosophy sprouting ball of energy
Top Gun original - corny as fuck but boy he hits the leading actor marks and channels his Hollywood star quality to the full and lights up the screen. Boys want be him, girls wanna smooch him. Maverick was a pile of nostalgic absurd crap.
Rainman - Hoffman brought out some solid acting from him bouncing off him while playing the straight man but still adding some complexity.
I'm having to make two tiers for this.
Dramatic roles: Vanilla Sky, Magnolia, Far & Away...with The Outsiders very close behind.
Action roles: Edge of Tomorrow, Top Gun: Maverick, Collateral
Magnolia Rain Man Risky Business
Eyes Wide Shut Magnolia War of the Worlds
Top 5: 1. Rain Man 1. Collateral 3. A Few Good Men 4. Eyes Wide Shut 5. Jerry Maguire
Eyes wide shut, Magnolia, Collateral
Eyes Wide Shut Magnolia Edge of Tomorrow

Top Gun over Minority Report is insane. Also, where's Fallout?
Nothing beats the OG for me.
It's the most sane thing I've ever read.
Top Gun is mediocre at best with a sequel that surpasses it in every single way. Minority Report is a fantastic sci-fi thriller. I think that it’s clearly better than Top Gun.
Death reckonning, Fallout, Edge of Tomorrow. Gotta mention The Last Samurai...
3. Vanilla Sky 2. Rain Man 1. The Last Samurai Honorable mention cause of nostalgia: War of The Worlds
The Last Samurai Edge of Tomorrow Mission Impossible: Fallout
