Some people will now forever remember Tom Cruise from those Scientology vids, but I choose to cement my memory in the not-so-fictional version from Magnolia. Your moment of nostalgic zen: Lying Under Pressure and Respect The Cock.
I'll be cementing my memories from his role in The Outsiders.

Magnolia actually got pretty tepid reviews. It was perceived as "trying too much," and, I suppose, it did. But I loved it for that. It's also why I liked Southland Tales this year.

Wow, those are dead ringers for the Scientology video.
Creepy.
