Every Tom Cruise Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

It's easy to love Ridley Scott's eccentric high fantasy classic Legend. It's charming, nostalgic and sports a performance unlike any other from the legendary Tim Curry, and it's one of the many early-to-mid-80s films that helped cement Tom Cruise as a bona fide star.

Though it's fair to say Cruise isn't able to hold a candle to his more experienced co-stars (Curry and Mia Sara among them), there's nonetheless a certain amount of innocent charm and likability in his performance that keeps him from falling completely flat.

All told, Legend is a strange, silly, over-the-top but lovable little film, and an important stepping stone in Cruise's intriguing career.
