For the second hour of Oprah and TC, today's show celebrated Tom Cruise's 25 years starring in films since Risky Business in 1983. Today was a great day to enjoy the many entertaining and moving films that Tom has made that have had a huge impact in people's lives. Not only were a selection of clips shown from a collection of movies, but also remarks from some of his co-stars and friends.

One of my favorite Tom Cruise movies is Cocktail, simply because it's one of the first that I remember him in (I was 9), as well as All the Right Moves (he was a high school football player) and The Outsiders - which were shown regularly on TV growing up and solidified my affection for Tom Cruise the actor - I have never cared much about his personal life over the years - he is a really great actor. When Tom started dating Katie Holmes things got a little strange, since I was a year behind Katie in high school - but as weird as it was to see someone I went to school with on the cover of all the tabloids, the attention always seemed like such an invasion of privacy for them. I honestly hope these 2 Oprah episodes give people the glimpse of the real Tom they are seeking and give the rumors a break.
