This early ’80s staple — just out in a 25th-anniversary-edition DVD — made Tom Cruise. It’s essentially one gigantic male-fantasy flick: when Cruise’s parents leave town, he drives fast cars and sleeps with a beautiful prostitute. Sadly for most of its male audience, the closest they got to reliving the film was by dancing around in their underwear, possibly singing Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock n’ Roll. No one did it better than this guy, though.
