Rain Man (1988)

Tom Cruise was completely convincing as a slick lying arrogant yuppie grubbing for money, abducting his autistic-savant brother and holding him hostage, demanding half his late father's three million dollar estate. His character arc, where he becomes a nice guy at the end, wasn't convincing at all. I don't know if we were supposed to feel some terrible injustice was done in the end, because that wasn't my feeling.

I couldn't understand why Tom Cruise thought he should get any part of his father's estate when he hadn't spoken to him since he was a teenager. Also didn't understand how he got rich and successful after cutting himself off from his father at that stage of life.

In Rain Man, Tom Cruise has inherited his father's custom 1948 Buick Roadmaster convertible which he and his brother take on a cross country road trip. It might make a double feature with Macon County Line, set in 1953. about a couple of degenerates traveling in their 1948 Chrysler Town and Country convertible. The car was only five years old but needed a new fuel pump which I would imagine was a more realistic portrayal of automotive reliability of the era.
