THE NASHVILLE I Overshadowed by the Top Gun and Mission Impossible Tom Cruise, people don’t realize the reason he took off is because at his core he’s a tremendous actor. Believe it or not Cruise is the every man here; under pressure to hit unreal expectations, dying to feel something real, and trying to find who he is as an adult. Mix in…a myserious an exhilarating seduction-caper of a lifetime. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Pamela A I liked this movie when it was released, now not so much, Tom C is very cute, the movie bothers me, all his friends are not what I believe the character would have. His dress mannerisms etc. don’t fit with them. The plot turns a nice boy into a monster, why so many people like this evil plot and young boy being exploited is beyond sad! Not funny Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Matthew D Risky Business may be the greatest film of the 1980's. I find it so romantic and dreamy. Tom Cruise charges forth in this wild and fun coming of age comedy. Paul Brickman wrote and directed this very raunchy romance film with witty dialogue and lots of laughs. The direction is pretty cool as shot after shot impresses you with clever angles, panning shots, editing sequences, and creative use of lighting and surroundings. Risky Business is naughty, but not crude. It has a class and style that is totally its own. I think it is still worth a watch. Tom Cruise is excellent as the lead Joel. He is funny and relatable throughout. It is a humorous situation how he becomes an accidental pimp, but you are always intrigued by his reactions. Cruise gives his breakout performance in Risky Business and his acclaim is well deserved. He pulls off a much more mature role for his age. Rebecca de Mornay is gorgeous and seductive in Risky Business. She plays Lana with a playful teasing quality, while also portraying a sincere side. You really wonder who this girl is and hope she is for real. She is acting at a more mature level than girls her age as she steals the show in Risky Business in many scenes. You cannot take your eyes off her. Risky Business features an iconic soundtrack of 1980's classic rock music, but the real treat is Tangerine Dream's electronic score. I found myself humming along to Risky Business' theme. It absolutely captures the tense and uncertain tone of the movie. You never know what is going to happen next. I recommend Risky Business for any teenage guy and older. It is a coming of age narrative with lessons as well as laughs. Beautifully filmed to look at, but even more fun as you join Cruise's Joel on a joyous journey. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 A absolute classic.
