Top Gun (1986)

A glaring omission in my Cruise catalog and while I knew it was going to be cheesy and very 80s, it was still amazing how much of it actually is. In many ways it is laughingly ridiculous at times, but with that fantastic soundtrack and how committed everyone is to the style and tone, you just become swept up and go with it. As I am more of car person and not that much into fighter jets or dogfighting, I was slightly more into Days of Thunder which is basically the same story, but the technical marvels of all the aerial scenes are truly amazingly well made.


Rating: 3.5
