Is this the movie where the video game is basically a recruiting tool and when the kid wins he gets visited by beings from another planet who need him to be a pilot and save them?
Yes that is the movie

Love that scene. Dude is amazing, does all of his own stunts- most of which are insane. Tom Cruise is one of the most underrated actors period, with tons of underrated movies. The Last Samurai, Collateral, Edge of Tomorrow, Oblivion, and Jack Reacher- all slept on imo.

Tom Cruise is great.  He's just a pure entertainer who deeply understands his craft.  He was miscast in Reacher, but even so he did a credible job with it.

My favorite role of his might be Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder.

It's been a couple of years, it's in the honey dew jar
I have the DVD sitting on the DVD player right now. One of my all time favorite movies.

Exactly. As a brand new teenager in 1984, spending tons of time at the arcades, this was a dream scenario for me! :)

Yes that is the movie
Thanks, thought so.

Someone mentioned upthread that this movie was in heavy rotation on cable channels. I've probably seen it to dozen times cumulatively but I don't think I've ever seen more that about 1/2 an hour of it in any one sitting.

Fandango is one of my all-time favorites, and it's very underappreciated.  It's a coming of age story about a group of male college friends who are graduating (or, not) and starting to feel the pressures of the next phase, including potentially being drafted for Viet Nam, and one who is getting married.  So they decide to shirk all responsibility and take one last road trip, a celebration of "the privilege of youth."

It doesn't hurt that it's centered on 5 kids graduating from The University of Texas in 1971, and starts off in Austin and crosses through Texas into Mexico.  But its themes are universal.  It was exec-produced by Steven Spielberg and was one of the very first movies released under his Amblin Entertainment Studio label, directed by Kevin Reynolds,  and it features Kevin Costner in his first lead role, plus Judd Nelson, Sam Robards, and a young Suzy Amis.  It was also scored by Alan Silvestri.

It's really slow, a thinker, but has some fantastic bits.

I've got an idea we'll make a movie and he'll be the greatest race car driver. We'll make another movie and he'll be the greatest jet fighter. We'll make yet another one and he'll be the greatest trial attorney even tho he never tried a case previous,somebody get me a bucket

To Catch a Thief (1955) - IMDb

I liked this one a lot.  She was a great actress, and easy to look at.

I'm told the prince she married was gay, really gay, and she ended up depressed.

Never saw the soup nazi episode but heard it was funny. 

I have my doubts. 

Kramer was the only talent
