They named him the greatest movie star of all time.In other words, they were smoking crack.
He will be remembered for being in Top Gun and maybe A Few Good Men.
His "serious" roles have aged pretty poorly - including Rain Man and Born On The Fourth Of July.
Mentioning his name in the same breath as Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant or Orson Welles is a joke, let alone claiming he was better than all of them.

He was very good in the movie with Jamie Foxx, I can't remember the name. They were both excellent. I think that was the only time I'd ever really seen him in anything, he played a hit man.

You should change your moniker to fastasleep.
Tom Cruise is surely one of the greats.
Color of Money with Paul Newman, Collateral with Foxx and Pinkett...the list goes on.
