  3. Rain Man

  7. Minority Report
  8. A Few Good Men

  10. Far and Away

Thomas Cruise Mapother (IV) was born on 3 July 1962 in Syracuse, New York. He initially wanted to become a priest but when he became an actor it became clear that acting was his calling. He had his debut in Endless Love (1981) and got his big break with a lead role in Risky Business (1983).

Even thou many people think that this Scientology obsessed man has lost the plot, Tom Cruise remains once of Hollywood’s most talented and successful actors. This luck son of a top gun is married to Katie Holmes with who he shares a child.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you have a few of his movies in your DVD collection.

Cameron_Crowe_director_film_picture
Cameron Crowe was born on 13 July 1957 in Palm Springs, California. As a teenager he wrote of articles for Rolling Stone Magazine. He wrote the screenplay for Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), which marked the beginning of his career.

He directed as well as wrote the screenplays for six of his films. His feature directorial debut was the indie hit Say Anything (1989), which was well received by critics. Say Anything starred John Cusack.

His next film was Singles (1992) which feautured the then not yet famous band Pearl Jam.

His most famous film is Jerry Maguire (1996) – about a sports agent who decides to leave his job and go it alone – and starred Tom Cruise. Cruise later starred in his film Vanilla Sky (2001).

In his semi-autobiographical film Almost Famous (2000) a teenage boy hangs out with a band and writes articles for Rolling Stone Magazine. Almost Famous earned Crowe the Best Original Screen play Academy Award. The film starred Kate Hudson, Billy Cudrup and Jason Lee. Jason Lee also had a supporting role in Vanilla Sky.

His 2005 film Elizabeth Town, about a failing designer who’s on the brink of committing suicide but then receives a phone call that he has to go to his father’s funeral, received mixed reviews and starred Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom.

Cameron Crowe is a great writer/ director that still manages to make character-driven offbeat yet popular films. I have not seen a film of his that I didn’t like. He is probably my favourite filmmaker and I would definitely add more of his movies to my collection next time I buy DVDs.
