Rain Man 11Tom Cruise and his autistic brother Dustin Hoffman work out the odds of winning four Oscars for Rain Man

He had us at "hello" in Jerry Maguire, but Cruise is in control for an entire week on Modern Greats in a line-up that includes Rain Man, Far And Away and the exceptional Born On The Fourth Of July. With Jack Nicholson directing and starring in Chinatown follow-up The Two Jakes, Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek on a murder spree in Terrence Malick's Badlands, and Hannibal Lector savouring The Silence Of The Lambs, it seems we've cornered the market in both killer smiles and just plain killers.
