Good, great, or shitty?

I know there are inconsistencies throughout, but dammit I like this movie.

Yes, I'm tanked and watching it now.

Cheesy, unrealistic, great action.  I think it's a great movie.  A classic.

"MiG-28s!  No one's been this close before."

For me it's one of those movies that was AWESOME when I first saw it...now it's only awesome if I'm toasted...


ETA...so it's awesome

They need a remake.  Real Mig's this time since you can buy them at Wal-Mart.

Cheesy 80s style......I've seen it about 50 times.


Yee-ha, Jesters dead!

Would be awesome if editied down to about 45 minutes. Also they could have killed Goose in a much more realistic way than hitting the canopy during ejection.

ETA voted Op is a homo, but only cause you made it an option.

Like I said it was unrealistic.

There is nothing better than self deprecating humor in my book.

The opening credits on the flight deck, the ACM scenes with the Skyhawks. Getting their asses chewed by the CAG ( You screw this up and you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong). Everything else was a big Navy homofest.

Cold War kick ass movie.  Great recruiting tool for the Navy.  Played out in references.

A+++++

(unsure if OP is gay, but best alternative-to-pie spurious vote option I've seen to date...)

Brilliant analysis. However, I think the last line was "You can be my wingman anytime..." Although, the meaning is clear.

The movie awesome... Interestingly the only thing gay in the film is the woman. She's a nutty lesbian and no one knew because they were only looking at the guys. lol

Well, I had to vote that you are a homo since it was an option

Now for the answer.  I loved it back in the day, but I watched it recently, and its pretty damn corny.  5/10

I still vividly remember watching "Top Gun" in the theater back in 1986 when I was 7. It had a huge effect on me. No, I didn't grow up to become a naval aviator, but it did spark a life-long fascination with all things military.



My friends say it is chock full of homosexual innuendo. If it is, it went way over my head in 1986, and even today I can't really see it (for the most part).

I was six when I first saw it in the theater. Fuck the haters. LOL.

Given the Tarantino analysis, the "danger zone" overtones from the soundtrack have a whole new meaning.

I think I was 20 is when it first came out. I do remember it becoming such a phenom, that they started setting recruiting tables outside of some theaters .

Actually there were a couple of Tomcat crew that were killed that way.  When the F-14 got into a flat spin, the canopy when jettisoned just hung over the aircraft, and the pilot and RIO ejected right into it.

I guess the jury is out on the OP, but the movie was full of gay.

I mean, c'mon, they killed off the only demonstrable heterosexual character in the whole movie.

But the greeks were historically gay.   A big difference.  Frankly I don't see how Sparta survived for as long as it did, what with all the buckfucking in ancient greek culture.
