For those who feel the need for speed and others who are looking to be completed, the Film Society of Lincoln Center will present a retrospective of the work of Tom Cruise this month, as well as a live talk with the star.

The talk will be held on Dec. 17 at the Rose Theater at the Time Warner Center and the actor will discuss his career with the New York Film Festival director of programming, Kent Jones. After the conversation there will be a screening of the coming thriller “Jack Reacher,” in which Mr. Cruise plays a character popularized by the Lee Child series of novels.

The rest of the eight-film retrospective will screen Dec. 18-20 and hits some of the major notes in Mr. Cruise's filmography, including “Risky Business,” “Top Gun” “Rain Man” and “Jerry Maguire.” But fans looking to see “Cocktail” on the big screen again will not get that opportunity here.

Tickets for the evening and for the films in the retrospective will be available through the Film Society at filmlinc.com.
