Crossword Genius

Films with a boring end Tom Cruise shot (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

documentaries

'films' is the definition.
(documentary is a kind of film)

'a boring end tom cruise shot' is the wordplay.
'boring' is an insertion indicator (to bore something can mean to drill into it).
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'end'+'tom'+'cruise'='endtomcruise'
'endtomcruise' is an anagram of 'documentries'.
'a' inserted within 'documentries' is 'DOCUMENTARIES'.

'with' is the link.

(Another definition for documentaries that I've seen is " Factual programmes".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
