Rain Man is an unquestionable classic, and features one of the finest performances from one of filmdom's greatest actors. Hoffman is intriguing as Raymond Babbitt, the autistic man in middle age who is taken by his younger brother who he has never met (Cruise) so the brother can get what he feels he deserves from his father's will. The journey the two characters take, as well as Cruise's transformation from a cocky jerk into a man who genuinely care for his older brother, are a delight to watch. These are two actors in top form, and this movie is proof that two such performances can carry a work to greatness.
