Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's about to happen. Would you say, would you say
you agree? Or are you pissed? You're gonna hear now,
You're gonna hear now Eddie's top ten list.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
And He's top ten list, the top ten singers Jamie
on tennor Yeah does a great job. Yes, this top
ten had to happen because last week we had a
horrific top ten list that brought us. So it was

(00:35):
all because Tom Cruise released the new Mission Impossible movie,
and so somebody decided to rank all of his movies
from best to worst.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, it was the Business Insider.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
It was atroc idiots. It was atrocious, top to bottom
was bad. And so I said, okay, well I can't
have this happen. I have to put out my top
ten time Cruise movies. I saw Mission Impossible over the weekend.
It was great.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
It was back to what I love about Mission Impossible.
It was better than the last one. It made up
for the last one. The last one just didn't hit
the mark. It wasn't terrible, it just wouldn't hit the mark.
But I don't think I think Fallout, which was Mission
Impossible six, is the peak I think are we doing.
I'm not sure what I do. What I'm trying to

(01:25):
get at is I would hope that there's multiple mission
impossible movies on this list.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well, maybe you can find out the lax pal. I
know you love Tommy c I do. He's yeah, he
was one of your guys.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
And with Eddie. Eddie somehow watches everything, so I respect
his opinion on movies and TV shows. He sees everything.
He does like entertainment. You'll mentioned a movie and you'll
be like, oh, yeah, I saw that, and you'll be like, what,
how did you see that?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Now, Eddie, with your list, I sleep, I guess not
with your list? Is it all just personal opinion? Or
are you also taking into a fact box office success?
Does that matter to Eddie at all?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Listen, Sweetie, Oh this is sweet my top ten Tom.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's all again. If I was just doing what I
think are the best Tom Cruise movies of all time,
then I would take those things into account. But this
is my personal top ten Tom Cruise movies.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
So there could be a movie that people love but
you're burnt out because you time.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Or maybe I just have a different opinion. I don't know.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
So let's begin at number ten. Number ten came down
to three movies and I had to pick one to
make the final cut.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
It came down to Days of Thunder, fantastic racing movie.
Oh have you seen Days of Thunder? I have it, dude,
what I have? You're really eighties Tom nineteen ninety I believe. Okay,
so that's that's it was for me. Yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
It came down to Days of Thunder, Cocktail or All
the Right Moves those are all Those are all eighties
early to Those are all the early eighties Tom Cruise movies.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
All graties Tom. I really only know Top Gun and
Risky Business because my dad liked that movie. Dude, All
the right Moves you would really like because it's all
about football, small town Pennsylvania football. And then Cocktail, I mean,
come on, I mean the Hottest Bartender. He's unbelievable. It's wild,
you know. Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
As I sat there and tried to figure out, well,
which one do I enjoy the most? If I were
to say, all right, those three, I'm at Blockbuster, I'm
in I'm in the Tom Cruise section. I'm looking there,
and I go, I'm down to the three. Everything else
is rented.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh I hate that. I go look behind the box
every time. I'm gonna take what all the right moves?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Wow, taking all the right moves and so taking it
off the shelf, going to rent it.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Black Days of Thunder like Cocktail, but All the Right
Moves comes in as my number ten Tom Cruise movie.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm telling you need to watch. I gotta watch. Still
holds Up. Okay, still holds Up. You run into the
same problems trying to make the football team. You got
a jerk coach plank t Neilson, and then always you
only play a coach, I think, so that's all he does.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
And when you're the star player, there's always issues with girls,
you know.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
And he's of course, and you know he's he's trying to,
you know, be the first guy to get out of
that small town.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
He doesn't want to work on a factory. No, he
wants to go to college. Big coach. Screw the movie
you have? Oh yeah, many times? All the way it moves.
A great movie.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Wow, Here we go. Coming in as my number nine
Tom Cruise movie. This might be higher on other people's list,
but coming in at number nine, Edge of Tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Sorry as much as You is great. This is a
great movie. It's a good movie. Him and Emily Blunt's
great and every very good. We're phenomenal together. A groundhog
Day for futuristic futuristic movie. Ok, it's really good. It's
got like a weird sci fi following. It's He's really

(05:10):
good in it because he plays kind of like, uh,
not really a tough guy, and then he has to
learn how to train and stuff. It's really good. Yeah,
And it's got some twist and turns to it. There's
supposed to be a sequel that never came out. Think
of think of Tom's library of movies. I get it.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
The ones that are gonna be higher on the list
are just better. Heedge of the fact that it made
it in the top ten means it's good.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
All right, it's really good. I'll give you that. I
still would have it.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
You have it.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I still would have had it higher.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yes, Yeah, so number nine, Edge of Tomorrow coming in
as my number eight Tom Cruise movie. Sky will agree
with this one the firm. Ah, dude, great movie underrated.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah. Lots of times you read a book and then
you watch a movie and you go, oh, the book
was better.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
By the b No, this like it was really more
action Tom. Yeah, there's actually in there John Grisham novel.
I I don't read a ton, but this is one
of the books that I actually read. I actually read
The Firm. Yeah, and so when I saw the movie,
I was like, they did a really good job. And
it's a good movie. Yeah, it's it's intense the Firm,

(06:17):
not badomend it coming in at number eight, coming in
as my number seven Tom Cruise movie is a true classic.
It is risky business, come on, man, solid great movie,
solid filmic scene. Which one on the train the train, Yeah,

(06:38):
for sure, not the one where I thought I just
didn't want to say that because I get it. Rebecca
de Moe, remember the train bangs they do it on
the first of all, she's not a stripper, she's a hooker. Hooker. Sorry, sorry,
put some respect on that every morning. Sorry, thank you

(06:59):
very much. You could say that fit great movie. I
mean the highs the lows. That's unbelievable, Joel. Yes, of
course you have the sliding across full time rock and roll.
Great movie. Put Tom on the Map, really did really
put Tom on the map? All right? Coming in at
number six. I have a tie because.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
It's basically, I don't know what to do with this,
because I didn't know what to do. Listen, I didn't
know what to do with this. Okay, I I had to.
I wanted both of these movies in the top ten,
but I kind of feel like there we're in the
same realm here. I put two mission impossible movies together,

(07:44):
Rogue Nation and Gross Ghost Protocol. Really so both amazing,
but I liked them both for separate reasons. Now, Rogue Nation,
I think I liked a little bit more. That's that's
where we start to get into all kinds of crazy
start if.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, three is the one where it gets because two
is altrocious and one is just completely different. Three is
kind of where it starts to take off, and then
four it really takes off, and then five is better
and six is better.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
You know, this is when you start seeing the crazy stunts. Yeah,
like Tom climbing on the outside of the building, and
then you know he did the one when he's hanging
off playing and all that stuff. So I mean, he's unbelievable.
The guy is unbelievable. So they're both kind of the same.
That's why I put him together and they're both great.

(08:32):
They're both great. I don't care what you say.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Wow, this is an asterisk on Eddie's top ten Wikipeda.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
No, I also think. I don't care. I also think
fall is Fallout going to be in the top five
because that's my that's my favorite Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie. Again,
this is not your top ten list. Can I can
I get through this? All right? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Coming in as my number five Tom Cruise movie. Yes,
could be a little controversial. I don't think so. Top Gun, Maverick, Wow,
Top good, Maverick. Listen, it's hard to do a sequel.
It's hard to do a sequel. Well, it's hard to
do a sequel.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Well, twenty five years, thirty years past the fact of
the you know, the movie like a joke. So the
original Top Gun amazing, obviously, you wait so many years
to do a sequel that they'd been talked about for
so long, and then they come out with Maverick and
I'm like, man, that was really good. I know, so

(09:29):
I actually like Top Come Maverick better. That's crazy, that's
a crazy it's a childish remark. You're living in the moment.
I love it. Well, Brewster, come on, listen if you're
doing your top ten movies, and then I get why
I don't think yes ten movies.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Oh, you're probably right, top four, but yes, Top Gun
Maverick is great, fantastic job. But again number five, damn
on the list, coming in as number four. Tom Cruise
movie is Mission Impossible.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Fallout.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Fallout is the best out of all of them. It
is really good. I mean especially you know at the end,
anytime you get to the point of where you're cutting
a wire and it gets down to the zero.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Amazing. What they always cut the helicopter scenes that thee
is one said cut here as good as the helicopter
scene is at the end. The Henry Caville, who's great
as a villain. The new plane scene may have passed
it the two planes, but I think thoughts still a

(10:40):
better movie.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, Fallout amazing, deserves its own spot on the list. Wow, yes,
we are now in the top three category.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Here so many movies. It's crazy, it's crazy how many
movies Tom has made. I mean, he's as big as
it gets. Number three, Hey, number three, Jerry Jerry McGuire. Wow,
what a right turn, I mean, list, what a right

(11:10):
turn you give me? Football you give me Cuba Gooding Junior,
you give me a love story, You give me every
everything I could ask for. In Jerry McGuire, it is
great Renee when she was at her hottest, like like
when when she sees Tom coming back in for he

(11:31):
Sky is definitely in that book club. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
so annoying. Definitely, Oh yeah, without a doubt. Wow, that's
a great movie.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
I honestly, when we got to the top three and
you had it named it yet, I thought it wasn't
going to.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Make your rys. So it's phenomenal. It's phenomenal. What a movie.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yes, number three, Jerry McGuire coming in as my number two.
Tom Cruise movie is a few good men. Really absolutely
one of my all time favorite.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's a great movie. But I feel like Jack Nicholson
steals the show more than Tom. He's not in it
that much. No he's not, which is crazy, barely in it,
I think one best supporting actor and he had like
not a ton of screen time.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Amazing, But again Tom is the star of the movie.
Let's not forget you know, I mean he's the one
who had a question, Oh Colonel jess Up as you
called the couldrit yeah, I say, And he's phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Set him right up. Sorry, but great movie. Is Kevin
Bacon in that Yeah he's yeah, keeper suddling randomly in
that movie?

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Anyway, So yeah, great movie. I remember when I worked
at the video store back in the day. It would
be one I'd it on quite often. It's just so
good quite often.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
So how many times you think you've seen that movie?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
A lot? Really?

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Over twenty over twenty twenty times. Yeah, yeah, and it's
really good. Oh, it's obviously really good coming in number.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Two, I guess so, and you know it. You love.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It's my number one Tom Cruise movie of all time,
which didn't even make the top ten of that last
third list is the og Top Gun, Top Gun? What
else could it be? What else could it be? Yeah,
it's top Gun. Give me a break, mav iconic, I

(13:35):
kill you're a maverick. I'm a Maverick guy. I'm surprised.
Collateral with Jamie Fox here, he's phenomenal. That movie's okay,
that's a great I didn't even consider A Night and
Day with Cameron Dia, No.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Dude, I just looked up the Business Insiders list. Their
top three didn't even make your Top ten. They had Magnolia,
The Color of Money, and Born on the Fourth of July.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Wild, So those movies I can't say I enjoyed. What
about Minority Report?

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Minority Report almost made it. I haven't seen it so long, though,
maybe I have to go back and watch it. Magnolia
is great, but Tom is a piece of that movie,
so I don't know that that's a Tom Cruise movie.
He's in it, yeah, you know, he's got a big
part in it, but I don't know. I considered Magnolia,
Born on the fourth of July is too depressing. And

(14:25):
then what was Color Money? I'm not even a fan
of Oh really sorry?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Sorry? What the World's Top ten? It was good. The
Top twenty it was good but also disappointing at the
same time, like the ending, yeah, oh yeah, whatever, water
kills them. I was gonna sayileryears ago there, Tommy c
your a two star pass swing away with signs, Yeah,

(14:50):
you dummy? Involved water in Aliens, but that's Mel Gibson. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
