Every Tom Cruise Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

If you want to pinpoint the moment Tom Cruise became a star, you need look no further than the scene in Risky Business where his character Joel dances around his parents' house to the song "Old Time Rock and Roll."

This was Cruise's big breakout moment, allowing him to dig deep into a character who is endearingly flawed, energetic, and boyishly charming, as he turns his family home into a brothel.

Certain aspects of the film's story haven't aged particularly well, but between Cruise's performance and the sheer brilliance of his iconic dance sequence, it's impossible not to love.
