Tom Cruise is also, simply, “Tom Cruise,” the only notable show business scion left to throw his body into mind-numbing danger to prove that it can be done, to show a younger generation that this is what movies can be, what superstars can do. In Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to Tony Scott’s 1986 original, Cruise is Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a man trapped in the past, refusing to advance his career as resolutely as he refuses to do much of anything besides continue to prove he’s the greatest pilot in the world-a title the film never forgets to remind the audience that Maverick earned long ago-and mourn his best friend, Goose (Anthony Edwards), who died 35 years ago in an accident for which Maverick still feels responsible. Not quite four years since Mission: Impossible-Fallout and much of Tom Cruise’s purpose remains the same-if it hasn’t exactly grown in religious fervor.

That’s just the way of the distribution world. Funnily enough, many of our picks for the top of that yearly list are streaming service exclusives, so don’t be surprised to find some older (yet still incredible) films still lingering. Several of these films appear on our list of the Best Movies of 2022. We limited it to new VOD movies available to rent for less than $10. We searched through the offerings of all of the above to bring you the Best Movies On Demand, though no one service offers them all. The competition for on-demand movies has grown in recent years beyond cable companies like Time-Warner, Charter, Cox Fios and Xfinity to online video-on-demand companies like FandangoNow and internet giants Amazon, Apple and Google.
