1986 Directed by Tony Scott
For Lieutenant Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell and his friend and co-pilot Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw, being accepted into an elite training school for fighter pilots is a dream come true. But a tragedy, as well as personal demons, will threaten Pete's dreams of becoming an ace pilot.
As Sid (Quentin Tarantino) in Sleep With Me says in one glorious monologue: "Top Gun is fucking great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots..... It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the fucking line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways......
Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go…
The 80s’ hottest film is Top Gun, this movie has everything. Pre-Scientology Tom Cruise, homoeroticism, take my breath away, fighter pilots, seductive karaoke, gratuitous male objectification, playing with the boys, pornstaches, aviator sunglasses, orange tanned skin, danger zone four times, innuendos in every piece of dialogue— this isn’t something they made! this is some professional like, this shit is in different areas!
i'll be honest i don't really know what this movie is about because every time i watch it i'm doing something else but when i hear the music from the beach volleyball scene i look up so fast my neck almost snaps
I was really missin’ shirtless volleyball games with the boys 😰
If Top Gun: Maverick doesn’t have a shirtless ultimate frisbee scene or something, then what was even the point of a sequel?

Fuck it, i know the movie has it's flaw, but i fucking loved it. One of the most 80s movies ever.
This was a first time watch for me and I really enjoyed this movie. Tom Cruise shines as Maverick a wreckless but intelligent pilot chosen for the top gun program where a group of 10 men compete for the title of “Top Gun”. The soundtrack and love story in this movie are great along with all the alpha male bullshit going on in the top fun program. Definitely a fun watch.
Tom Cruise.
Actual fighter jets.
Unintentiinal(?) homoeroticism.
Berlin's "Take My Breath Away".
If Top Gun didn't have these 4 things, it'd be a lot easier to call it out as the style-over-substance Navy recruitment ad that is. But this movie's pure, unfiltered 80s-ness is hard to pass up if I haven't lost that lovin' feeling.
A great movie! With a solid performance from Tom Cruise as the sexy, rebellious, yet kind-hearted Maverick.
