Rain Man: A Timeless Tom Cruise Classic?

[@chosen_remnant]

Just watched Rainman on Tubi TV for about my 100th time since the 80s. It never gets old and the acting always amazes. Timeless classic.

[@trinaq]

Shame that Tom Cruise still hasn't won an Oscar yet. He was really credible as Charlie, and it's one of the strongest performances of his career so far.

[@jamesmorant1406]

He should have won for collateral

[@joemoody2626]

​@@jamesmorant1406 I second this statement collateral was amazing

[@jamesmorant1406]

@@joemoody2626 He was amazing in that movie

[@MrBoyYankee]

Born on the 4th of July, Collateral, Magnolia, Last Samurai, Tropic Thunder.

Rain Man is one of my favourite movies and a very underrated performance by Tom Cruise - who at the time was overshadowed by the showy performance by co - star Dustin Hoffman.

[@007Julie]

I saw this movie in theaters when I was 10 years old, I went with my grandma and aunt then I begged my mom to take me to see it again a week later. This movie’s so important to me, Rain Man took the love I had for films and cranked it to 11. A classic of classics.

[@rogermazuca4582]

For me the iconic Tom Cruise scene is him and Raymond coming down the escalators in those oh so shiny suits 👀

[@filmbuff2777]

I have Asperger's Syndrome & was a year old when Rain Man was released. Mum told me she was recommended this movie & helped her understand my problems when I was really little.

[@9114utube]

Cruise is solid actor: my faves include Color of Money, Eyes Wide Shut, The Firm, Rain Man w some legendary costars in some films. Watch again and you'll notice in some films he starts out somewhat a despised character but eventually transitions to a hero towards end of films. Very underrated 🌟

[@mysteriousstars122]

*Tom Cruise is always brilliant*

[@andrewattenboroughtwothumb4697]

One of my favourite movies always watch it every year and now in 4K

[@MatSpeedle]

I only watched Rain Main tonight for the first time and as an 80's kid I'm honestly ashamed it took me this long. I think 80's Tom is the best version of Tom. No big flashy stunts and sprints. Just acting and nailing it.

[@tomhahnl1927]

Great movie, I loved it! Tom Cruise was definitely robbed of an nomination!

[@heathmcrigsby]

The Rain Man score is magnificent. Could be thrown into any Simcity game

[@joelgreenlee9421]

Not a huge Cruise fan but I love what he did in this film. This is also my favorite film he did

[@bartfrere7716]

Chris Bumbray I always enjoy your well narrated revisited originals. They are truly a joy to watch and I always learn something new. Keep up the good work!

[@wstine79]

This movie definitely made Tom Cruise a better actor. Definitely a great performance.

[@billwenham]

In the words of Raymond: Definitely. Definitely.

[@robertfindley921]

Tom Cruise filmography: World's greatest fighter pilot World's greatest racecar driver World's greatest pool player World's greatest bar tender World's greatest military police officer World's greatest spy World's greatest fighter pilot (again)

[@gx12]

A personal favourite.

[@RC19786]

just rewatched this classic early this year, great performances and Cruise was underrated...movie and the score never gets old, another great vid by Chris B.

[@mackinblack]

Cruise's best role was as Lestat in Interview with a Vampire.

[@VegasDiz]

This movie was just plain cool, the soundtrack was a big part , cinematography also

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Steven Spielberg said he could have directed both Rain Man and Big, but couldn’t make them because he promised George Lucas he would make Indiana Jones 3. As iconic as this and Big are, I always wondered how they would have turned out if Spielberg directed

[@Serai3]

Well, Cruise blew it, because Spielberg has sworn he'll never work with him again.

[@spextrekid9410]

interestingly both movies about kids in adult bodies.

[@funnycatvideos5490]

yeah because Indiana Jones three was nothing to write home about

[@scottbarkley496]

BARRY just referenced RAIN MAN .. That's Legacy right there

[@trinaq]

I remember that "The Simpsons" parodied this movie during a casino scene, and it took me years to properly understand the reference! 😂

[@Omar-wq9dz]

The Hangover too

[@CornishCreamtea07]

Me too, and it wasn't the only time a reference confused me.

[@maverickslb80]

Cruise should have won an Oscar for this role. And he ewas robbed from other Oscars for Born on the 4th of July, Collatreral, The Last Samurai and Jerry Maguire.

[@Hogtownboy1]

i remember going to the theater and was shocked at Cruise range. i have always though most critics hated Cruise as he remind them as the guy on the high school that bullied them.

[@CornishCreamtea07]

Cruise sure got to apprentice under some big names back in the 80s and early 90s: Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duval, Gene Hackman and Jack Nicholson.

[@alba4203]

Quanti film senza tempo ❤❤❤

[@atwunz]

Who would imagine then that this guy is going to be the superstar of 21st century?

[@jamesgarrett8833]

I always wonder in Rain Man, Tom Cruise character, Charlie Babbitt, he always wearing a suit without a tie. So I always wondered if that style of wardrobe was intention on the filmmakers part for Charlie Babbitt character?

[@hueyiroquois3839]

Clarification: counting cards is legal, but it's also legal for the casinos to stop you from playing if you win too much.

[@Surja672]

I agree

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

Academy Award Winner for Best Actor! - Dustin Hoffman! 😎👊✊ An Awesome Performance By Both Actors. 👍👌 Also Best Picture Oscar And Best Director! 🍁♈🍁

[@SynthMusicWorld]

Thanks for touching on the point that this film did some harm to the autism community, a group that I'm a part of. To this day in Hollywood autistic characters still demonstrate some of the traits Hoffman displayed, although it has improved quite a bit. When I watch a TV show I pretty much know instantly when they're about to introduce an autistic character by the way they act, and I always groan to my wife. I'm not going to lie, though: sometimes I wish I had gotten savant traits in music or math. I did pick up writing fairly easily and intuitively in school, but I'm not sure if that's in the same league.

[@Elora445]

I know the feeling - I'm autistic, too. Not a savant either, but I picked up reading at age four. Hollywood has never been and will probably never be all that good at writing autistic people. My favorite autistic characters in series and movies are probably characters that are not actually described as autistic (see: Bones), but that are behaving in very autistic ways. Sometimes it makes me roll my eyes, but sometimes they really nail it. Wish they truly nailed it a lot more often. But sadly, savants seem to be the more interesting side of the spectrum that people want to see.

[@SynthMusicWorld]

@@Elora445 yeah, I was reading at a really young age, too.

[@jliller]

I think it depends on how strictly you define "savant." (The term is often used to refer to someone with exceptional skill in one specific field, not only those with Savant Syndrome.) People with ASD are more likely to have either dyslexia or hyperlexia and either dyscalculia or hypercalculia. If Raymond has hypercalculia and his special interest is numbers then it seems kind of plausible, if exaggerated for the film.

[@Elora445]

@@jliller Yeah, it depends on where your dysfunctions lie, how high your IQ is and so on. I think what people think of savants only rarely fit with the actual savant syndrome. Also, not all autistic people have one special interest. I have always hated that part. I have not simply one special interest - if one doesn't count knowledge itself as a special interest. Seems unnecessarily rigid to specify it like that. I think it's hard to specify what Raymond might have had or not had. He's more of a stereotype of what people think autistic people is like.

[@Floydx0]

Loved the Rain man scene in BARRY last episode.

[@KrisBryant99]

This looks like someone's uncle who went out and made a great masterpiece.

[@jimcameron1234]

2023 on 4K UHD!

[@jamesmorant1406]

Great movie yes Dustin Hoffman was amazing but we can't ignore Tom Cruise performance either he deserved an Oscar nomination

[@ferociousgumby]

Sometimes I'll watch a movie years later and realize I missed a great performance because it was upstaged by a big star. The Way We Were is a case in point. Robert Redford was amazing in it and had a much more challenging role than Barbra Streisand. He played an unsympathetic character with weak morals, and did it believably by underplaying it. Now when I see it, Barbra stamps and screams, while Redford's character just "is" - which is what it's all about.

[@ferociousgumby]

Why the question mark?

[@BuckarooBanzai84]

Being on the spectrum myself, I still have a mixed relationship with this movie. But I wholeheartedly agree that it's one of the best examples of both actor's talents. =)

[@only257]

Never seen this movie my family member did they said it was a good movie😊

[@flyguy7825]

I'm not the all-time classic movies in my opinion. Rain Man was just a movie that's timeless.

[@dondevice8182]

FUN FACT: I saw this movie for the first time on a flight to Europe and thought it was ridiculous- they cut out alll the “plane crash” tzlk, do I kept asking myself, “Is Cruise the one with mental problems? Why don’t they just take an fling plane!”

[@Nicholaus13]

Speaking of some of these names... im one of the few that loves/loved I ❤ Huckabees. What do you guys think of that one?

[@diettea]

Get to the summary my homework is due at 11:59..

[@Mayor_Of_Eureka17]

Definitely good movie.

Card counting isn't illegal, but it will get you kicked out of a casino if they catch you because you're bad for business.

[@teppeiando]

Timeless Dustin Hoffman classic

[@EclecticDD]

"Abducts," from the psychiatric facility.

[@barbiquearea]

Isn't counting cards not illegal so long as you don't have anyone helping you with the counting?

He needs to get out of Scientology *fast.* I was in it for three years, and I know what I'm talking about.

Not a fan of Tom Cruise but I thought he was great in Collateral & good in Eyes Wide Shut

[@calvindusava5912]

Your Rainman?😓

[@ivanildopereira3181]

A good, but way overrated movie. Still, you're right: Cruise's performance is very good and overlooked.

[@miketran4289]

Rain Man isn't a Cruise movie, It's a Hoffman movie

[@davidarndt4699]

Rain man was not very realistic. They promoted the stereotype that autistics are all really good at Math. We are NOT all Math prodigies. I have Asperger’s and I can’t do Math to save my life! I hate it. I have never met an autistic who is extremely good at Math. Some are good at basic Math, but, not anything higher than Pre-Algebra. Most of them that I know can’t do advanced Algebra or Calculus. I don’t act anything like Rain Man at all. Check out the movie: “Please Stand By”. It is a very realistic Autism movie. Much more realistic than Rain Man. It is from 2017 or 18. Staring: Dakota Fanning. They had several autistic people on the set, while they filmed it and the Director was also autistic. That helped a lot to make it more realistic. The autistics on set could tell them if something is not realistic in their experience. The Director really did good to, because he is autistic and he understands it. The only thing that could have made the movie better is if they had used an autistic actor.

[@johnphantom]

No, Rain Man is not a Tom Cruise movie, it is a real actor's movie, it is a Dustin Hoffman movie.

[@superjumpbros64]

Mm
