Tom Cruise is a prominent American actor, director и producer. Three times prize winner "Oscar."as well as a three-time award winner "The Golden Globes.". The actor became famous thanks to his participation in such films as "With Eyes Wide Shut", "Magnolia", "Rain Man" and many others.

Tom Cruise was slowly becoming known since 1981. He at that time was nineteen years old. The first small role of the future film star was a character in the film "Endless Love", two years after the release of which, the actor became quite famous among film critics and young people. Tom Cruise is interesting in that he is not afraid to try on new roles. Thus, from the beginning of his career until today he played such characters as: good guy, military, agent, vampire and many other in his own way exciting characters. I suggest today to pay attention to the top of the best Tom Cruise films and identify the successful roles of the actor at the moment.

Interview with a Vampire (1994)

The film belongs to the genre of dramatic horrors. The plot of the film is based on the life of one vampire, who came to a journalist with a desire to tell the story of his interesting biography. One of the main characters is a man named Louis, who lost his wife in childbirth. The baby also died. Louis no longer saw the meaning of life without his loved ones. But to help him comes another man named Lestat, who is a vampire. The latter turns the man who has lost his loved ones into his own kind. However, Louis resists for some time, as he has never wished death to other people. At first, the newborn vampire fed on the blood of rats and other small animals, but this could not last long.

Now let me describe a few interesting facts about the making and shooting of this film. For example, in order to give the vampires a sinister look, the actors had to hang upside down in order for the blood to rush to their heads. It is also known that it took about four or five hours for each actor to create the make-up and the image as a whole. By the way it should be said that Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, who also played in this film, did not get along. Disagreements arose because Brad refused to keep his body clean and hygienic - the actor smelled too much sweat. The film was recognised as the best film of the time on mystical themes.

Oblivion (2013)

The film belongs to the genre of sci-fi action films. Its title from English translates as "oblivion". The film was made based on the novel of the same name, which was never published. The plot of the film tells the viewer about the story, when the planet was subjected to a brutal attack by aliens. Most of the civilians were killed, but the survivors were sent to a huge space station. The observation station is home to a loving couple, Jack and Victoria, who are busy monitoring the situation of the earth and the new space home for millions of people. While on the observation station, the lovers were fulfilling a certain mission given to them by the management. And soon they were to return to the common station. However, these plans are not destined to come true, because Jack unexpectedly meets a stranger who comes to him in dreams, which really turned his life upside down.

It is no secret that in this film Tom Cruise again played a legendary man fighting aliens. It is also known that most of the shooting and work on the film took place in Iceland. However, despite the next role of the "rescuer", Tom Cruise received high marks from film critics, as well as the public for the brilliantly played hero.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

The film belongs to the genre of dramatic detectives. The film is based on a story by an Austrian author named Arthur Schnitzler, whose work is emphasised. The main characters before us are the spouses in love, played by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. By the way, the couple was married and in real life at that time. The plot is structured as follows. Bill, who is an exemplary family man, quietly lives his life. The man goes to work and loves his wife. Everything was fine until his wife confessed to her husband that she wants to fall in love with a new man. Offended and upset, Bill leaves home and stays alone for a while. However, being away from the family hearth, Bill realises that his nature is not so perfect either.

The film made a real sensation not only in the life of actor Tom Cruise, but also in the life of director Kubrick. The film raises the theme that sometimes love can be a habit, not a real feeling, which many people are waiting for.

Mission Impossible (1996)

The film belongs to the genre of action-adventure films and detectives. The main role is played by Tom Cruise, who played a detective. This film is recognised as one of the most important films that greatly influenced the career of the above actor. By the way it should be said that the film "Mission Impossible" became one of the highest-grossing films of that year. He was able to collect about one hundred and thirty million dollars in America, and in other countries - about two hundred and twenty-five million dollars. Actor Tom Cruise, who performed the role of Ethan Hunt, after the film adaptation of the film received a lot of offers to work and positive reviews. Also the film itself collected about 97 percent of the beautiful words not only from film critics, but ordinary viewers.

An interesting fact is that in this film, as well as in many others, Tom Cruise is not afraid to sacrifice himself and his health for the sake of getting a great shot. The actor does not resort to the help of stuntmen and doubles, and does everything himself from start to finish. By the way, it should be recalled that Tom Cruise even refused twenty million fee, for the sake of allowing him to perform quite dangerous, but spectacular things on the screen. The directors agreed on the condition that the promised fee will go to strengthen and insure the film star.
