Tom Cruise is phenomenal. He gives a nice show, but he really can play pool. This is my favorite scene from the movie. Starring - Tom Cruise as Vincent and Paul Newman as Fast Eddie Felson. Songs: Eric Clapton - "It's In The Way That You Use It" & Warren Zevon - "Werewolves of London".

She said, "Any day away from George Roy Hill was a good one." /IMdB/
