My 5 Favorite Tom Cruise Throwback Roles [VIDEO]

I can't believe Tom Cruise turns 52 today! He's gone a little off the reservation in recent years, but he seems to get better looking with each year! So I thought it would be Throwback Thursday appropriate to share my favorite Tom Cruise movie roles from the 80's and 90's!

1
As Brian Flanagan in 'Cocktail'
What can I say, I'm a sucker for bartenders with skills.
2
As Daniel Caffey in 'A Few Good Men'
Oh contraire Jack Nicholson, I CAN handle the truth...that Tom Cruise fills out a military uniform like nobody's business!
3
As Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell in Top Gun
I feel the need, the need for Tom Cruise to play half-naked volleyball on cue. Oh right, he flew a plane in this too right?
4
As Steve Randle in 'The Outsiders'
I could sit and watch Tom shove chocolate cake is his mouth all day. And as a Greaser who played a greasy mechanic? Tan and sweaty? Sign me up.
5
As Ethan Hunt in 'Mission: Impossible'
He's my kind of spy.
