Cruises best 80s films imo are

1. Risky Business
2. Rain Man
3. Top Gun
 
Iceman > Lex Luthor

Man of steel.
 
both are fiction but top gun was more fiction.
 
Top gun is a far superior film. Man of steel was barely above average.
 
Top Gun looked really cool but had a shitty story full of plot holes, bad/ok acting and crappy bad guys.

Man Of Steel looked kinda cool but had a mediocre story, decent/good acting by some and decent/good bad guys.

Id rather re-watch Man Of Steel tbh. Top Gun was that post covid movie that everyone was dying for and still loves to gloss over. It was that nice shiny rock surrounded by turd. Nothing particulary special, but a gem considering its surroundings.

Top Gun came out in 1986...
 
MOS had some good scenes but was not a great film. Top Gun is iconic for a reason.
