Definitely a ton of honorable mentions too. He's made so many good movies... Dude is a megastar and has had an amazing career of great movies. Hard to pick the best 5.

1. The Last Samurai

2. Edge of Tomorrow

3. Rain Man

4. MI 3 (Phillip Seymore Hoffman being in this helped it a lot too)

5. War of the Worlds

Collateral
Magnolia
Color of Money
Eyes Wide Shut
Interview With The Vampire


I miss when he actually took on some creative risks/challenges. He's a very, very versatile actor and he's chosen to relegate himself solely to blockbuster franchise schlock. Not that the MI movies are bad, I just liked seeing him in a variety of roles in the past

I'd argue Vanilla Sky is his most underrated.

Top Gun

Risky Business

Rain Man

Collateral

Top Gun: Maverick

ETA: A Few Good Men should bump something - either Maverick or Rain Man drops to 6

Worst 5 movies

#1 Valkyrie (when he tried to take out Hitler)
#2 Cocktail (he had every man wanting to franchise the bar concept)
#3 Far and Away (Costner should have starred in this)
#4 Knight and Day (ended Diaz career)
#5 The Mummy (how dare he take over from Brendan Fraser)
