What can I tell you about myself? There's not much to say. I'm a regular guy who grew up loving movies because of my mom's weekly visits to Hollywood Video. Now, I spend every morning on the internet scowering movie news like a crazy person.
In an era where most actors can no longer sell movies by their name alone, only a few Hollywood personas have enough charisma and on-screen presence to draw in an audience by themselves. Though there's still a handful, none have stood the test of time like Tom Cruise. Of course, stars don't happen overnight. There is a certain formula to becoming a Hollywood Icon.
As strange as it sounds, some films are entertaining purely for their nostalgic nature. Cocktail features lots of 80s hits, big hair, greed, and cheesy dialogue that Cruise and the rest of the cast committed to no matter how mellow dramatic making this a fun time capsule. While fans may have fun laughing at this film, there are exciting moments between Brian and his frienemy Doug where fans can see the smart and edgy drama it was aiming to be.
This movie starts like a sweet teen romance, but the tone dramatically shifts as the mother gains a crush on her daughter's boyfriend and these teen's unceremonious split causes him to become obsessed. What's interesting is the film views this as youthful love instead of disturbing like the novel and critics of the time. This makes this film and its protagonist unintentionally creepy and fascinating.
Similar to The Hustler before it the layered and complicated characters are what make this film so interesting. Everyone is morally gray as Scorsese slowly reveals what motivates and drives these personalities. This leads to an interesting power shift between the exploitive Eddie and the naive Vincent, who goes from being hustled to the hustler.*Availability in US
This quintessential 80s action flick took Cruise to new heights with its crowd-pleasing nature. From real-life plane sequences for action junkies to comedy, even Romance, this film has something for everyone, making it hard for anyone to feel left out. While Valkilmers hesitancy to make the film because of its silly dialogue is understandable, Top Gun wouldn't be the same without it. More importantly, it has Cruise being the magnetic action star fans would come to love.
