This is so great! AND I really feel like “Far and Away” belongs in the lineup too. If you do a whole separate post on “Far and Away” I will be so here for it.
I have never heard anything positive about that movie until this week, and suddenly y’all are coming out of the woodwork talking about how important it is!
My favorite Risky Business line, delivered shorty after the “sometimes you just have to say wtf” is “looks like it’s the University of Illinois!”, as he assumed his Ivy League chances are over.
I was in fact a high school Senior who was going to attend U of I the next year, and I swear my friend group went to see it opening weekend. We knew it was insulting but we didn’t care. Name in lights, lol.
I just love your voice so much. I gobbled up these pieces. 🙏🏼
I watched A Few Good Men on a plane this week and it’s such an interesting role for him. He flips between cocky and full of self-doubt on a dime (reminds me of Jerry Maguire) it’s damn near manic. But obviously that was the least TC vehicle of all the TC vehicles. A Few Good Men was all about getting him to gotcha Jack Nicholson into giving that monologue…which, what a monologue.
And yeah, I find that A Few Good Men performance interesting, because a cocky Aaron Sorkin character is very different from a cocky Tom Cruise character. But it all comes together for that Jack monologue!

The absolute joy of “looks like University of Illinois!” Is so hilarious to me. Line delivery of a lifetime.
This is really insightful.
I will think of a chill response to this, I just know it
