For some, Tom Cruise is just an actor. For others, he's Mister Hollywood. Tom Cruise is a bonafide movie star, with a genuine rags-to-riches origin story, a megawatt smile, and endless charisma. He has that "it" factor that is uncommon among the hundreds of potential actors that go to La La Land every year to make it big. Cruise has been starring in films for almost four decades, which you'd never know to look at him. In many ways, Tom Cruise (now in his 50's) just gets better with age.
From big hits in the '80s like Risky Business and Cocktail to '90s classics like Jerry Maguire, and unexpected success in the '00s with Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise keeps cranking out the surefire Hollywood hits. He's been the face of the Mission Impossible franchise, the Jack Reacher movies, and is soon to keep the Top Gun franchise alive and well in a sequel almost 30 years in the making. Here's the Wishlist of every Tom Cruise lover.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 6 FILM COLLECTION

MAVERICK G1 PILOT REPLICA JACKET
Feel the need for speed with this replica of the G1 pilot jacket worn by Tom Cruise in Top Gun. This is the same jacket worn by his character Maverick, the cocky flying ace whose recklessness makes him one of the craziest pilots in the Top Gun flying program, and also one of the best.
Maverick sports this rugged aviator jacket whenever he goes out on his motorcycle, and the same jacket can be seen in the trailer for Top Gun 2. This jacket is made from 100% genuine leather, is available in black or brown, and features screen accurate patches to the missions his father would have flown on before he disappeared.
THE TOM CRUISE COLLECTION
Next time you overhear someone erroneously claim that Tom Cruise is "just an action star" or incapable of playing a wide variety of characters, direct them to this Tom Cruise Collection. It's conveniently got five of his most intriguing films all in one place which showcase his range in the areas of drama, genre, and (yes) action.
Follow him as a daring fighter pilot in Top Gun, as an enigmatic police officer committed to preventing crimes before they happen in Minority Report, as a calm and collected hired gunman in Collateral, as a desperate man saving his child from alien invaders in War of the Worlds, and as a race-car driver in Days of Thunder.
EYES WIDE SHUT POSTER
When Eyes Wide Shut came out in 1999, no one was prepared for the sort of dizzying descent it would be into erotic debauchery. Well, no one that had ever seen a Stanley Kubrick film before. Regardless of your familiarity with the filmmaker, everyone knew who Tom Cruise was, and for him to be involved with this sort of film was titillating to say the least.
Capture the strong visual stylings of the film with this minimalist poster featuring the masks worn by Dr. Bill Hartford (Tom Cruise) and his wife Alice (Nicole Kidman) as they enveloped themselves in anonymity and joined a secret society devoted to feeding humanity's secret desires.
LEGEND
If you're a fan of fantasy films such as The Dark Crystal, The Labyrinth, and Willow, then you'll love this dream-like tale from director Ridley Scott. It features Tom Cruise as a forest dweller who has to battle the pure embodiment of evil (Tim Curry's Lord of Darkness), to save Princess Lily and prevent an ice-age from engulfing the world.
Full of spellbinding visuals, a fantastic synth soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, and surprisingly good acting from a very young Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and of course Tim Curry in some amazing prosthetics. This Bluray edition comes with featurettes, commentaries, concept art, and an alternate version never-before-released.
LIVE DIE REPEAT: EDGE OF TOMORROW
One of the criminally overlooked science-fiction films of the last several decades, Live Die Repeat (or more commonly known as Edge of Tomorrow) is a fantastically visceral addition to the genre and features a series of unique plot devices in its storyline.
William Cage (Cruise) has never been in battle, yet despite this he gets dropped into a suicide mission where he's killed instantly. He relives the same time-loop over and over, eventually gaining tactical advantage and, with the help of a fellow super soldier (Emily Blunt) finds a way to save humanity from alien invaders.
RISKY BUSINESS LICENSE PLATE
If there was a definitive moment that turned audiences on to the collective greatness that is Tom Cruise, it occurred in the '80s classic Risky Business. It takes place when Joel Goodsen's parents are out of town, and he plans to throw the most epic party his high school has ever seen (and possibly hook up with a hot chic).
Tom Cruise slid into the living room and into our hearts in a pair of boxers and Ray-Bans to Bob Seger's classic Old Time Rock N Roll and instantly became a legend. That is, until he crashed his dad's '79 Porsche 928, with a license plate that exactly matches this one!
