Why Tom Cruise Is A Movie Star

OK, he's got charisma. Looks. He's a decent actor. Blah blah blah.

But, today at work, I needed to do a little research on Tommy and found something amazing.

Look at this list of directors he's worked with, in order from the start of his career:

• Francis Ford Coppola
• Curtis Hanson
• Ridley Scott
• Tony Scott
• Martin Scorcese
• Barry Levinson
• Oliver Stone
• Ron Howard
• Rob Reiner
• Sydney Pollack
• Neil Jordan
• Brian DePalma
• Cameron Crowe
• Stanley Kubrick
• Paul Thomas Anderson
• John Woo
• Steven Spielberg
• Michael Mann

Holy crap! Look at the list... throw in Ang Lee and he's worked with every director that matters over the past 25 years. OK, not Tarantino, but QT kind of sucks now anway.
