@kaighintze Well…well…Someone in this world agrees with me? What are the odds of that? I’m sorry but I’ve just never “got” the affinity for Mr. Cruise.
At least the flying sequences were semi-realistic?
Do you have any idea what it’s like trying to sit through a movie with one of those people? One of those people who has a great deal of knowledge about a certain subject or have lived the life?
“Why is he sweating while he’s in CIC? It’s always freezing in there.”
Buzzing the tower, “Uh yeah, no. Do you have any idea how fast you’d get grounded for pulling a stunt like that? After the rug dance in front of the skipper, you’d get FNAEB’d in a heartbeat.”
“Hush, darling. It’s just a movie. Oh, look! They’re playing volleyball. How come you never played volleyball? I would’ve gone to those games.”
Watching a period western or historical film with lots of firearms is just as bad. Thank God it’s just 13 minutes to Judge Wapner and The People’s Court.
So… 32 years old today is the is the youngest a person could be and still be alive at time of release…add 8 years to that because it wasn’t a movie for little kids… So…basically, the “youngest” you could be now to have enjoyed that movie (when it was released) as a kid is currently 40 years old.
Somehow, I don’t trust my math because I’m under 40 and remember it from when I was a kid… I didn’t watch it in the theater, however… probably took 5 years to get a VHS copy…so…subtract 5 years and the “youngest” you could be now and still enjoyed this movie as a kid is 35 years old. Any younger than that and there is no way you would have enjoyed it as a kid because that movie is lame sauce and has no fidget spinners in it.

/giphy I love top gun!
Er, loved it as an adult.
@pooflady Me too, you whippersnappers.
@pooflady Yeah, it came out in 1986. I was in my 30’s…
The movie was OK, worth watching once.
A little too homoerotic for my tastes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
@ThatsHeadly haha… I see what you did there.

That’s a negative, Ghostrider! jk, I loved it.
@mtb002 the pattern is full
You left out “No, because it didn’t exist when I was a kid.”
I mean, OK, if we assume that a person in his early twenties is still a kid, then, yes, I enjoyed it.
Ah, back in the days when Tom Cruise knew how to portray a character. Too bad he forgot how to act after the one good movie

My favorite scene is the one where Mav opens the fridge and takes out some of his batteries, so that they can be in the danger zone.
Hey. Old farts get left out of everything. Thanks, meh.
Another “old fart” here! What is the average age of the looky loos on this site anyway?

Top Gun is my mostest favoritist movie in the whole world.
When it came out in 3D, I drove to Omaha (from Des Moines) because that was the closest IMAX theater that was showing it.
The only IMAX Des Moines has is a dome IMAX, which is horrid for watching movies, but they still use it for that.
Top Gun as a movie was good, the sound track though was what made that movie.
At least they let Goose live in Revenge of the Nerds.
I have even been to some of the places in the movie in San Diego. (But the sound track was missing.)
I liked the movie a lot, but I absolutely loved the NES game.

@capguncowboy I could never get the hang of refueling…

It didn’t exist when I was a kid. It existed when my kids were kids, lol. The movie was ok… no great shakes.
I wasn’t a kid…
My first kiss was after watching Top Gun with a lovely young lady. Happy VD everyone!
@jerry559 Yes. Happy Venereal Disease, everyone!
@jerry559 @medz woohoo for VDs!
The best comment I heard about the movie was “Great eye sex”.
This about says it about this movie… Warning, spoiler.
I loved Top Gun as an adult you agest bastard.
“As a kid”? What the fuck? What the hell’s wrong with you?

@medz ehh, I enjoyed it as a kid and as an adult. Well… if you can call 29 adult…
Here’s my favorite top gun reference
The movie is called Sleep with Me with Meg Tilley and Eric Stoltz and Craig Scheffer. The movie isn’t terrible, but that’s certainly the highlight.
@mtb002
Oh, shit, I forgot to mark this NSFW for language.
I turn 32 in two months and I still haven’t seen Top Gun.
The only reason to see it is because you’re 12 and it just came out, so you missed the window
No it didn’t come out until I was an adult, and twinky Tom had nothing on Kirby Grant and Sid Melton
What about Top Gun 2 !?!
