A legendary figure in Hollywood, Tom Cruise has entertained audiences on the big screen for over forty years. This summer, Cruise is set to receive one of the BFI’s highest honours: a BFI Fellowship.
The rare star who’s equally at home in both a high-octane action franchise like Mission Impossible and critically-acclaimed auteur films like Magnolia and Eyes Wide Shut. Cruise is also being deservedly recognised for his ‘dedication to reinventing cinematic spectacle and preserving the theatrical experience’ (BFI).
We’re dedicating a whole screen to Tom Cruise Day on May 18th - so join us for the ultimate Cruise movie marathon! Our Regal team have hand-picked four favourites to put back on the big screen: Top Gun, Rain Man, A Few Good Men & Jerry Maguire.
One of cinema’s most enduring courtroom dramas, Cruise is on fine form here as Lieutenant Kaffee, a junior military lawyer investigating two marines charged with the murder of a fellow recruit. Adapted from the Aaron Sorkin play of the same name, Cruise and co-star Demi Moore invigorate Sorkin’s trademark narrative twists and fast-paced dialogue, culminating in a fiery third-act showdown with Jack Nicholson’s Colonel Jessep. A Few Good Men was nominated for Best Picture at the 65th Academy Awards. - Levi
