I just watched Rainman last night for the first time in decades and loved it. I commented that Tom Cruise was an incredible actor way back then and CUTE!!! I would love to see scenes where one or both of them cracked up so much that they had to stop and do retakes!

He was his Brother, he just wanted to be his guardian so he can get his dads money. I’m happy he learned to love him and realized his brother was a caring person.

I think your blooper was in the second segment, the empty picture frames say, “Media here”

I’m sorry, but the scene when Tom and his girlfriend were making love and Dustin was outside the door and he mimics their sounds! 😆

It goes to show you, people with disabilities can do things none of us can do!😊
