He may be the single most famous actor who has ever lived, hence impossible to be underrated.

I feel like there's not much acknowledgement that he's objectively the michael jordan GOAT. he seems underappreciated relative to his accomplishments.

His peak of making artistic films was in the 90s and early 2000s and from then on he was only in really big action movies. There's 2 generations now that never saw Jerry Maguire, Risky Business, or Vanilla Sky. It's the same thing with Sandler. He's been in a bunch of great films and a ton of bad ones. Everyone knows Cruise can act but if you don't do it for 20 years people do forget.

But "can act" is such a small aspect of why he's the GOAT. Totally irrespective of acting ability, the dude is just so passionate about making great movies and ENTERTAINING PEOPLE and puts his body on the line in a way nobody else of his stature does. if you listen to all of the stories about his prep, and intensity, and the shit that he does on set, and his stunts, it's clear that the man is a treasure who is standard deviations better than every other "actor" who has ever lived.

I respect this as a subjective opinion and you are entitled to it but I don't think this holds up when we judge the entire repertoire of film history. It's like saying RBG's opinions were better because she could do push-ups. How did Marlon Brando prep? I have no idea. Is Daniel Day Lewis a standard deviation worse because he didn't do action scenes? All we have at the end of the day are the sounds and images on the screen. There is nothing wrong with finding his passion and dedication really inspiring. Marlon Brando got fat and lazy as fuck but could still act somehow. Acting will always be subjective but I would never put Tom Cruise above the more traditional greats just because he had a great attitude and jumped off a building. If that's what gets your juices flowing more power to you. I am an artfag and I don't really watch action movies. No one is right or wrong just different.

tom cruises best role was top gun and his best movie honestly was the last samurai but thats a minority take.

leo's best acting role was titanic and his best movie was the revenant.
