I think you might be thinking of "Eyes Wide Shut" which Cruise was also in.
While I'm not a Tom Cruise fan at all, I really liked the story of "Vanilla Sky". It was originally a Spanish film called "Abre los Ojos". Great story with a great soundtrack... Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Todd Rundgren, Sigor Ros, REM, The Beach Boys, The Chemical Brothers, etc.
The Jeff Buckley tune fits perfectly in the movie. If you haven't seen it I recommend it.

That's "Vanilla Sky" D-Hop.
You can watch it more than once and see different things. The director, Cameron Crowe, said he wanted to make it like the cover of the Sgt Pepper album. To where the audience can see different things and maybe even different meanings with each viewing. It works for me. I've enjoyed it many times.

For those who hold their top recording artists' opinions in high regard, check this out. It is from Wikipedia so take it for what it's worth. This is in reference to Jeff Buckley's album, Grace.
Grace won appreciation from a host of revered musicians, including members of Buckley's biggest influence, Led Zeppelin.[79] Jimmy Page considered Grace close to being his "favorite album of the decade".[80] Robert Plant was also complimentary.[81] Others who had influenced Buckley's music lauded him:[82] Bob Dylan named Buckley "one of the great songwriters of this decade",[81] and, in an interview with Village Voice, David Bowie named Grace as one of the ten albums he would take with him to a desert island.[83] The album eventually went on to feature in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003, appearing at #303.[84]
I couldn't care less of what any of these guys say, but some do.

Interesting info, and thanks Sugar.
I just read how he died. tragic, and doesn't seem too fair happening to a guy seemingly so well liked.
Downloading "Grace" right now.
My opinion about other's opinions, is that it initiates my begining interest, then it's up to me.......
Guy seems (seemed) like a pretty cool dude, though, no doubt.

I used to work with the guy who was charged with the murder of Tim Buckley up until about September of last year. He was actually my assistant for a few years until the company went under. From what he told me he was a big time drug dealer back in the 60's/70's and Tim Buckley's good friend. He said he basically left some heroin on a table which Buckley ended up OD'ing on, later dropped to manslaughter and time served if i remember correctly. Interesting guy, before I met him was previously a college professor at UCLA and one of the worlds foremost ethnomusicologists specializing in native american music. Traveled the reservations and recorded a lot of rare native american music. Also wrote several college text books on the subject. He told me a lot of crazy stories about his life in the 1960-1970's era. Anyway I digress...I miss that company.

Talk about degrees of separation. I've yet to investigate much into Tim Buckley or why/how he died. His music doesn't interest me much. That's a pretty crazy story, though.
DenHop, the album, "Grace" was one of those life-changing albums for me. I was twenty-one and still very impressionable. I heard him on some random college station and called the station up to find out who they had just played. Many of my older friends couldn't get into his music, they called him, whiny. I don't talk to these friends anymore. If they don't get the sheer greatness that is his music, they don't deserve to be my friend. Elitist? Maybe. I hope you like his stuff.

I downloaded late last night a cover done by the Cocteau Twins of a Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren-This Mortal Coil"
I hadn't known details of Buckley Sr's passing.
Don't know much more than that about it. Dropped about 70 various new songs in the computer, but haven't gone through it yet.
You guys that know about the Buckley clan, know anything about it?
.....(or the circumstances)
