Too many classics to limit it to 5

Early Career (first ~10 years):
1) Top Gun
2) A Few Good Men
3) Rain Man
4) Days of Thunder
5) Cocktail (most people hate the movie but I'm a sucker for 80s Elisabeth Shue)

Honorable Mention: The Color of Money would be in the #5 spot if it wasn't for my Elisabeth Shue crush

Rest of Career (next ~30 years):
1) Mission Impossible (first one is great, but I enjoy the entire series)
2) Jerry Maguire
3) The Last Samurai
4) Edge of Tomorrow
5) Collateral

 

[huhhh]

1. Speed 2
2. Deep Rising
3. The Poseidon Adventure
4. Out to Sea
5. I guess Titanic counts.

...oh wait.

The way I see it there are two Cruises, there is 80s Cruise and then jump on Oprah's couch Cruise, not the same person.

That could be said with many actors after they have been at it for awhile. But just like I tell my kids in the candy store, "no, I didn't say you could pick out 10 candies.....I said 5."

Top Gun
A Few Good Men
Mission Impossible
Risky Business
Collateral

There are about 5 or 6 other movies that could go in there.

I’ll adopt the second half of his list, because I agree with all 10.
