Vanilla Sky
Directed by Cameron Crowe
David Aames has it all: wealth, good looks and gorgeous women on his arm. But just as he begins falling for the warmhearted Sofia, his face is horribly disfigured in a car accident. That's just the beginning of his troubles as the lines between illusion and reality, between life and death, are blurred. From TMDB

60 of 212 · most liked firstDecided to revisit Alejandro Amenábar's 1997 film OPEN YOUR EYES (Abre los ojos), a profound thriller about identity, trauma, and ego. Spectacular performances from Penélope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega. One of my favorite Spanish films. It is a million times better than VANILLA SKY. 🎥 #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →i started watching Vanilla Sky last night on a whim and tbh my main question is... *why* is this movie?
negative · AI labelView post →Interesting! Vanilla Sky is a pretty gripping paranoid thriller that makes you question reality. Tom Cruise is really great. Add more great cast, creepy mask, and playful direction, and you have a really good movie. Could have been tighter though. Still, really good. #FilmSky #MovieSky
positive · AI labelView post →I still hope I'm just in the movie "Vanilla Sky" and none of this is real.
neutral · AI labelView post →Mid movies with an interesting premise. That's the point of OP's post. Scarface, Omega Man, The Bird Cage, Thomas Crown Affair, Ocean's 11, Fist Full of Dollars, Vanilla Sky, Wizard of Oz, The Bourne Identity: all remakes. Arguably, the new Dune movies might be considered remakes of a relatively mid original movie, though the new ones are far more tied to the book. So taking the 1993 mid kids' movie *Rookie of the Year* and adapting it to a modem take where the lead is 19 and plays soccer for…
neutral · AI labelView post →i really like Vanilla Sky it was a great movie
positive · AI labelView post →What's a movie you refused to watch because you assumed it wouldn't be interesting enough for you, but ended up watching anyway and thought damn, that was amazing? For me it was A.I. Artificial Intelligence and Vanilla Sky.

neutral · AI labelView post →I have never seen Vanilla Sky because they shut down twenty blocks around Times Square and made me miss a Broadway show to film a scene of Tom Hanks running through the empty streets.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's podcast prep rewatch: I kinda wish there was a version where Tom Cruise wears the 'Vanilla Sky' mask for the whole movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →If loving the movie Vanilla Sky is wrong, then send me to slightly dumb movie prison, and I hope they’re playing Vanilla Sky in the TV room.
positive · AI labelView post →DIGGER: Tom Cruise Leads With His Chin in this mashup of ASTEROID CITY & VANILLA SKY. He's great, and the film is great but, as they say, not for all audiences! While we're at it, more of you should've went to see AMERICAN MADE, too! New review: tremblesighwonder.com/2026/10/11/7...
positive · AI labelView post →Finally opened and watched my 4K copy of Vanilla Sky. This is my all time favorite non-Star Wars film, without contest. It’s special in a way I struggle to explain. It’s been exactly 10 years since my last viewing and every time I watch it it takes my breath away. Simply remarkable. #PhysicalMedia

neutral · AI labelView post →This man talked thru 2 hours & 16 minutes of Vanilla Sky at Loews pentagon city mall. TBF, it’s a terrible movie. maybe? Idk. So while I may be biased bc I’m sure his random pontificating about popcorn salinity is hell’s elevator music, I’d also dearly like him to shut up about political strategy.

neutral · AI labelView post →Re: Vanilla Sky. What an odd duck of a movie. Still enjoyed it, though. All involved are in the zone. Tech support! See also: Kurt Russell for the win! 8 mustaches outta 10.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Vanilla Sky for the first time. A movie that confronts the existential horror: what if Tom Cruise had to be slightly ugly?
negative · AI labelView post →Little Murders! Cotton Comes to Harlem! Across 110th Street! The Gang of Four! Naked Acts! Showgirls (again)! Also Vanilla Sky but I don't think that's a real movie, it's an elaborate cinephile in-joke nobody will just let go.
neutral · AI labelView post →@fangoria.bsky.social told me about this movie summer of 99, probably the same issue that had an article on Deep Blue Sea This was the same filmmaker who created the story for Vanilla Sky (and cast Penelope Cruz first) and made Uber creepy The Others with Nicole “amc” Kidman #moviesky #horrorsky
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't remember what prompted it, but I looked up the synopsis of the film "Vanilla Sky", and I'm ???????? Why did I think it was about U.S. teens navigating life amid peak Cold War geopolitical tensions? What movie was that, then?

neutral · AI labelView post →Back on the Marquee, this time investigating VANILLA SKY --- a film with which I've had a rocky courtship but, thanks to viewing it through the lens of its toxic relationships, am beginning to see its virtues again, 2001-style. Thanks as always to @jasondashbailey.bsky.social for the opportunity!
neutral · AI labelView post →Thoroughly loved Tony Gilroy’s #Behemoth. Pedro Pascal delivers a beautiful, internalized performance that ranks among his best work on film yet. Olivia Wilde eats up every morsel of screen time, channeling a little Cameron Diaz in “Vanilla Sky.” But the true star is the film’s music.

neutral · AI labelView post →Gotta include Vanilla Sky (great title/bad movie)
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight's film was Vanilla Sky. Feel somewhat ambivalent about it, not convincing enough except for Tom Cruise being an entitled jerk at the beginning.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy Letterboxd Friday- 2 days late! Way past time to post your Last 4 Watched 📲 This week- the film Vanilla Sky rips off, Siegel makes the closest thing to an Arthur Hailey novel he could & Lithgow & Rush play with dolls. Lastly, Ogilvy swings an ax, Beacham cradles a demon & Cushing stares on!
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching: Vanilla Sky (2001) Perhaps my favorite Tom Cruise movie to hate watch. He’s at peak insufferable.
negative · AI labelView post →ok so, I watched Vanilla Sky maybe a month ago and I don't really like it but lol it randomly comes back to me like, I can't believe that movie happened kinda vibe. And now I'm finding out it was a remake of another movie called Abre los Ojos ?? this is wild
negative · AI labelView post →If there's ever a reboot of the Running Man film, it should get Tom Cruise for the lead role; ☝️🤣-that dude is always running...in one film or another. •Mission Impossible(s) •Minority Report •The Mummy •even in Vanilla Sky . Is there a film he was in where he DIDN'T have a scene of him Running?
neutral · AI labelView post →You can’t have it both ways. In the movie Vanilla Sky, Tom Cruise was dating a crazy girl and then he met this nice girl that he really connected with. The next day, he got in the car with the crazy girl and she drove him off a bridge. His sprit guide told him “Consequences, it’s the little things”.
