Every Tom Cruise Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
15. Tropic Thunder (2008)
Deciding the play the role of morally bankrupt studio executive Les Grossman in Ben Stiller's controversial and wonderfully over-the-top comedy was a genius career move for Cruise, who was required to wear a fatsuit and prosthetics for the role.
Unrecognisable and clearly loving every second of his time on-screen, Cruise is boisterous, intimidating, vulgar and hysterical to the point of tears.
His co-stars (including an Oscar-nominated Robert Downey Jr) are all excellent and the film is - though not to everyone's tastes - extremely off-the-wall hilarious, but Cruise effortlessly steals the show with his violent over-the-phone threats and his final dance to Flo Rida's "Low."
