Born on the Fourth of July

Throwback Sundays this week is featured today, Memorial Day, as we remember Oliver Stone's Born on the Fourth of July. This film features what is arguably Tom Cruise's greatest performance.

For the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert said, "BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY is one of those films that steps correctly in the opening moments and then never steps wrongly. Nothing Tom Cruise has done will prepare you for what he has done in BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY."

For Rolling Stone Magazine, Peter Travers wrote, "Tom Cruise gives an astounding, deeply felt performance. Together Oliver Stone and Tom Cruise do more than show what happened to Ron Kovic. Their fervent, consistently gripping film shows why it still urgently matters."
