Eyes Wide Shut

Agree 100% with Tom Cruise in Rainman. Most people only remember Dustin Hoffman's performance (which earned him a well deserved Oscar and he was outstanding), but Tom Cruise actually carries the pace of that film, if that makes any sense. IMO, that is side by side with Born on the 4th of July as his best performance.

You guys I think his performance in rain man was an easy one to do though.........

Also I love Christopher Walker, but I think he just plays himself.... like Norm Macdonald.
For some perverse reason I always get excited when I see Randy Travis and the Penn's in movies, and they suck.


Brad Pitt was really good in The assassination of Jesse James.

Can't believe I forgot Walken. Deer Hunter and the Dead Zone are classics. Another actor who tends to get overshadowed is Harvey Keitel. He's mostly known for his supporting roles, but a movie to check out is 'Bad Lieutenant.' He plays a junkie degenerate gambling cop, real gritty film. I haven't seen Jesse James yet but I've read that Pitt was real good in that so I'll probably check it out this week.
