• The Top Ten Tom Cruise Movies

  
  Tom Cruise gets hated on a lot for being a pretty boy and a weirdo (if you've never actually researched Scientology, then please do before you make judgement that he is not crazy). He still gets some of the best roles and does more than a decent job at them. He is an Oscar worthy actor given the right roles, but he just makes too many blockbuster summer flicks to build a serious portfolio to have him go home with a statue., At least as a consolation he gets to go home with Katie Holmes. 1. Top GunA classic that belongs in anyone DVD collection. The scenes of the fight simulations, as well as the real thing, are way cool even the 100th time you watch it. Kelly McGillis is a bonafide 80s hottie and brings out one of the best serenades in movie history with "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". Tom is incredible as Maverick, who lives up to his name as a lone wolf chasing the ghost of his father.2. Mission Impossible 1Tom does a great job bringing suspense and sophistication to an old favorite. Honestly, I think the movie was better than the television series, I guess the budget was a lot bigger too. To shows that he could be a perfect James bond, if only he were British.3. Rain ManA great story line coupled with stellar performances from both Tom and Dustin Hoffman make for ne of the most referenced movies in pop culture, even today (see the Hangover). You really feel the tension and personal struggle that Tom has with his relationships and with his own morality. A complete shame he wasn't even Oscar nominated for this performance.4. Days Of ThunderYou could almost call this movie Top Gun 2: Fighting with Cars. The racing scenes have you on the edge of your seat and Tom portrays the young up and coming NASCAR to a tee. Nicole Kidman stars opposite and together they steam up the screen, obviously there on screen attraction was real as they later married.5. CocktailAnother movie where Tom plays an up and comer in the game trying to work his way to the top. Here you see him as he makes his climb, falls from grace, and in the end endures. What a performance.6. The Color of MoneyIt's easy to be overshadowed by the ubber-talented Paul Newman, but Tom more than holds his own in this follow up to "The Hustler". Again, Tom as the up and comer has to struggle with harnessing his amazing talent and fiery emotion. The story is great, the acting is even better. 7. Risky BusinessHis breakout role where he famously slides across the floor in his socks, tell me that can't be considered as one of the Top Ten mose memorable movie moments. Even as a young actor he should his range and ability to mesmerize the audience.8. The Last SamuraiPersonally not a huge fan of the movie itself, although there were certain aspects of the warrior culture that was interesting. The love story was pretty bad, compared with other movies. Tom holds his own and is pretty convincing as he tries to infultrate a closed society. The only other movie that compares is "Dances With Wolves" where Kevin Costner was nominated for Best Actor.9. A Few Good MenThis ensemble cast delivers a suspenseful movie with all kinds of pshycological mind games that keeps your head spinning. One of the best lines ever come from this movie, "I want the truth!"; "You can't handle the truth!!!".10. Born On The 4th Of JulyThe aftermath of 'nam wasn't the same after this movie. Tom does such an excellent job as a Vet who has to cope with a world were nobody cares about him. Funny, things haven't really changed in many ways.To vote for your favorite or add your own click the link ->

• The Top Ten Junk Foods

  
  This is in order of my favorite junk foods, not how bad or good they are for you.

  1. DoritosThe best massed produced tortilla chip available, comes in a variety of addictive flavors or now combination of flavors. It is incredible how easy it is to eat an entire bag in one sitting.

  2. Ho HosNot only is it fun to eat, it is fun to say. Chocolate on the outside, creamy filling on the inside, happiness all around.

  

  3. CheetosCrispy, airy, and cheesy, basically the perfect snack. Only downside is that your fingers turn orange, good side is that it tastes so good when you lick it off. Chester Cheetah is also one the of the best mascots for a food, eat your hear out Tony the Tiger.

  

  4. TwinkiesSoft spongy goodness filled with a sweet cream is the recipe for a satisfying snack in any season.  Try to look at the picture without your mouth watering.

  

  5. Ice CreamSweet, creamy, cold, and smooth; Ice Cream is a classic that is sure to be a highly sought treat till the end of time. There are endless flavors to choose from and is perfect on those hot summer days.

  

  6. Hostess CupcakesAs you can see, Hostess is the Tiger Woods of cake snacks (#4 is also a Hostess product). The cupcake has the same secret ingredient filling, but is wrapped in a delightful chocolate cake, topped off with a chocolate coating and signature swirl. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.

  

  6. FritosArguably the best food product made from cord, fritos have a nice crunchy texture and salty corn taste. Their shape lends to easy dipping, which is good because they go great with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, 7-layer dip, and just about anything else you can stick a chip into.

  

  7. Chocolate Fudge BrowniesBiting one of these takes you away to chocolate heaven.  I still can't decide which part of it is better, but it doesn't really matter because together it is a sure fire way to spark fireworks in your mouth.

  

  9. French Fries

  Fried food is inherently good, but the king of them all is the French Fry. Hot, crispy goodness from the first one to the last. They also have quite a variety, everyone has their favorite, but even the worst are still pretty darn good.

  

  10. Taco Bell TacosTaco Bell makes a mean Taco, which is obvious since they are the most popular taco shop in the world. Whether your enjoy the crispy crunch of the hard taco shell, or the soft tortilla wrapping, it's impossible to deny the pleasure of biting into one.

• The Top Ten 80's Sitcoms

  
  

  1. Doogie HowserEveryone wanted to be a boy genius saving lives and living the dream. Who could forget all the endearing coming of age moments with sidekick Vinny Delfino. From the intro music to the final computer diary entry, this sitcom was packed with 80's TV glory.2. Full House

  The opening credits made you want to go to San Francisco to take in the Golden Gate Bridge and the Painted Sisters.  The Full House Family made you want to stay there forever. Hilarious family hijinks, Olsen twins, Uncle Jesse, and of course the anchor Bob Saget: enough said.3. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

  Will Smith basically played himself, a cool street-wise kid who is transplanted into Bel-Air. This show really highlighted his talent and brought hip-hop into maintstream TV.4. Growing Pains

  Alan Thicke leads this family through some great story lines and Kirk Cameron's performance in 80s legend. What ever happened to anybody in this cast?5. Silver Spoons

  As a kid, you always wanted to be Ricky Schroeder, what a sweet life. Indoor train sets were all the rage. Yet another 80s sitcom that Alfonso Rivera was in, he's gold.6. Different Strokes

  What you talkin' 'bout Willis?7. Charles In Charge

  Scott Baio was on top of the world being the live in nanny. He made being a male nanny cool somehow.

  8. Alf

  How could you not be entertained with a smart mouthed furry alien? If aliens were like Alf, we'd have nothing to fear.9. Out Of This World

  The ability to freeze time, c'mon, best idea ever. Don't tell me you never tried to put your fingers together in an opportune moment.10. Cheers

  Looking back, I wish every bar was like Cheers.  I know some funny people, but not like this crew of wisecrackers.
