I've gotten loads of flack (namely from my hubby) over the years for being a die-hard fan of the 80's flick, Top Gun. I know a lot of folks find it a little corny, but hey--that was Tom Cruise in his heyday, before the Scientology-Katie-Holmes-couch-jumping-phenomena took over. And Kelly McGillis never looked sexier, either. Mix in a little Anthony Edwards and a wily Meg Ryan, not to mention big, fast flying machines, and you've got a recipe for a great cult classic.
Evidently, I'm not the only one who thinks so. According to a story on NPR's "Morning Edition" today, a lot of Navy and Air Force pilots really like the movie, too; they think it's fairly realistic. Okay, maybe not the bedding your flight instructor part (or maybe so??) but definitely the cutthroat culture of flight school.
I've been putting off buying the collector's edition of that movie for years now, but maybe this is karma telling me to feed my desires. Already I'm imagining the famous beach volleyball scene. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
