Arnies too old for the part now, hard to think of a tall current actor that would be suitable.

Yeah, Liam would have been a better choice, but he's no spring chicken either.

I think he would have suited the part.

The mention of Liam Neeson made me remember the under-appreciated movie Rob Roy. Excellent flick and Tim Roth is amazing in it! 

Batman : The Dark Knight

Greatest film in many ways I ever watched is Ghandi.

 

Film I watched the most times ( about 8 times), and still brings tears to my eyes in the closing scene is Dirty Dancing

I  havent read any of the Reacher books and have only seen the one film,So i didnt have anybody to compare Cruise to.But if you say so,then you are probably right.I thought Cruise played the part well,but as i said,i didnt know any better.A thousand apologies.

That was the films name.Got it now?

Blade Runner

 

It still looks amazing over thirty years later.

Many already mentioned that I consider outstanding here are a couple to add to the list.

"Three Days of The Condor" and "Marathon Man"

The last Samurai.I totally agree.in my opinion the best thing that Tom Cruise did. Now, in his grown up years, Reacher is a great character.

I think Cruise is a darn good actor. I'd say it is no mistake Newman, Nicholson, Scorsese and many other excellent actors and directors worked with him from the mid 1980s thru the 1990s.

I also would point out the early 2000s as a period he made some very good films.. This includes Vanilla Sky, Collateral, Minority Report and The Last Samurai.

RUMBLE FISH, by Coppola it's no so bad.

My favourite is Cool Hand Luke.

 

 

another one that comes into my reckoning,THE ROBE.

then wasnt the follow up DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS.

another 2 great films.

this is a genuinely interesting film that revealed Heath Ledger to be a top class actor...who then tragically died a short time later...

Yep, Three Days of The Condor. I'd completely forgotten that. 

 

Robert Redford played the part well.

Cruise doesn't get enough credit for his body of work.  Probably because of his weird off-screen persona (sometimes) and that whole Scientology thing.  But the guy's done some memorable stuff.  Along with the movies you've mentioned, I'd include Color of Money, Interview with a Vampire, Mission Impossible(s), etc.  I think his best work was Born on the Fourth of July. 

Berk...  I agree 100%. He was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Kovic. Also for his supporting role in Magnolia.  Wish he would get back to similar roles as opposed to his recent concentration on action oriented efforts.
