Tom Cruise as Frank T.J. Mackey in Magnolia

Despite making a living out of climbing skyscrapers and jumping out of airborne planes in the Mission: Impossible franchise, we'll never see a screen performance by Tom Cruise in Magnolia. Watching Cruise pour his heart and soul into the 1999 Paul Thomas Anderson epic feels like you're partaking in one of the actor's daring stunts, as his level of unbridled charisma and psychological wounds doesn't feel humanly possible.
