Best movies scenes of Tom Cruise movies

1. You complete me (Jerry Maguire): Tom Cruise acting masterpiece

This is one of my favorite movies scene of Tom Cruise. It is not those masterpieces that keep you engaged with a unique storyline or out-of-the-box idea. However, some scenes are just incredible. In particular, two lines are very popular from this cult scene. The first is “You complete me ” and the second one is “You had me at hello.” Both of the lines are so famous that they get used in many other TV shows, satire pieces, and even in general talks. Whom should I thank? -Writers director, all the actors or just say it was a coincidence.

Moreover, there is something so magical about the look on Tom Cruise’s face in this scene. The expression of the character who had tasted success after a long time and who felt he could not share it with his wife is just special.

2. Courtroom scene (A Few Good Men)

Perhaps the best courtroom scene ever where two great actors came together for an unforgettable scene. I am talking about the Jack Nicholson and Tom cruise. The star of the show in this scene is, Jack Nicholson. His charisma in the character of Colonel Nathan R. Jessep makes the audience watch this classic again.

Lines like, “Did you order code red ” or “I don’t give a damn what you are entitled to” have become cult lines. The tension between Tom cruise’s character and Jack Nicholson’s character is so real in this scene. Tom Cruise’s character knows that he has no proof against Jack Nicholson’s character. He had to take by putting his career online by asking straight questions and making the colonel angry at the same time to move him towards a confession. And boy didn’t both deliver. This science sends a chill down to the spine whenever anyone watches it. Tom Cruise is just remarkable.

Perhaps one of the best intro scenes of any movie made anywhere. This scene is not about Tom Cruise’s acting but how good Tom Cruise looked in this scene. In this scene, the director showed an individual climbing a rocky mountain without any protective gear. Tom Cruise acted in this scene with long hair look.

4. Help Me Help You ( Jerry Maguire)

Another scene from the ‘Jerry Maguire’ where Tom Cruise shows his acting master class. He shows his frustration with his clients for not understanding his situation. The client is an athlete in this movie and Tom Cruise has to bear his tantrums. He kicks the wall in frustration and makes the client understand what he expects from him. The whole scene is comic and hilarious. However, Tom Cruise portrays the frustration of the character perfectly with his mannerism. A special note of appreciation for the other actor- Cuba Gooding Jr. He won the Oscar in the category of the best supporting actor for the same movie.
