Collateral should be way higher. Best performance of his career and it's not even close.
Agree, the grey hair Vincent is so underrated
Fallout at number one is correct. That bathroom fight alone.
Honestly a list with 4 Mission Impossible movies... ok we get it
Edge of Tomorrow deserved a sequel so badly
Magnolia is the one people forget. He should have won the Oscar for that.
Top Gun Maverick > Top Gun and I'll die on that hill
the original Top Gun hasn't aged that well tbh, the volleyball scene lol
where is Eyes Wide Shut??
