This movie was a joy to watch. Similar to most other movies starring Tom Cruise, Top Gun has Cruise as a protagonist who has a fun personality, lives life dangerously, and knows how to take care of business when things get down and dirty.
Overall, the dogfights were fun to watch and I would recommend readers see this film at least once, especially if they're a fan of Tom Cruise.
On a different note, I didn't realize that the actress playing Charlie, Kelly McGillis, was also the leading actress in Witness (1985).
Instant Comments:
"Highway to the danger zone."
"You two are going to Top Gun."
"Keeping up foreign relations. You know. Giving him the bird." HAHA!
"You know, the finger." Ha!
"Slider." Takes a whiff. "You stink."
Hmm... on the one hand, textbook maneuvers are probably logical, but possibly well-studied and predictable.
"Take My Breath Away"
Oh wow, I didn't even notice that was Meg Ryan (Goose's wife)
"You. You're still dangerous... You can be my wingman anytime." "Bullshit... you can be mine."
