Top Gun (1986). As students at the United States Navy's elite fighter weapons school compete to be best in the class, one daring young pilot learns a few things from a civilian instructor that are not taught in the classroom.

It was such a weird thing to watch this back-to-back with Clint Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge. Released the same year, and both nominated at the 59th Academy Awards, they touch on similar themes of sun-soaked masculinity and patriotism, but it's infinitely more palatable (and successful as a propaganda tool) in Top Gun. I feel like that's a testament not only to the charisma of its star-studded cast, but also to Tony Scott's direction which leans into the fun and the fantasy at practically every turn. It's not really my vibe, but I get it, y'know? 7/10.

Top Gun: Maverick Is What The Big Screen Was Built For.

It’s very rare that you see something reminding you just how powerful big screen entertainment can be at its absolute best. EEAAO already gave us one in 2022. I certainly did not expect a second. Much less for it to be a sequel to a 5/10 original.

The original Top Gun is a perfect example of a film that will go down to a certain established audience ( mostly dads) as an undeniable classic. Others will see it as a concentrated blast of 80s machismo. The hilariously obvious homoeroticism on display is the only thing that can ever be considered timeless. Yet 36 years after the original’s release Tom Cruise for all his shenanigans is one of…

Top Gun (1986)

While Top Gun can, at times, lean towards the formulaic, and feel like a bit of a glorified recruitment video, I found it irresistible. Filled with incredible aerial shots, charismatic actors, a dynamite soundtrack, iconic lines, and memorable characters, it’s no wonder the film has become iconic.

Naval aviator Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) flies an F-14A Tomcat along with his co-pilot Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards). When they suddenly find themselves at the head of their class, they're allowed to attend "Top Gun" the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School - a place where the best of the best learn to hone their skills and become the finest combat pilots in the world. There, Maverick struggles with his family’s legacy and finds himself a rival in top student Tom “Iceman” Kasansky (Val Kilmer). The instructors admire Maverick's aerial skills but aren't impressed by his reckless behavior, his hot-shot attitude and affinity for rule-breaking. Lucky for him, he catches the eye of Charlotte “Charlie” Blackwood (Kelly McGillis), a civilian contractor serving as an instructor at Top Gun.

Most men who call Top Gun their favorite movie are probably doing so for Tom Cruise or the action/training scenes. Cruise has been in so many movies now it’s easy to forget that he didn’t start off as a star; he earned his status in movies like this. The then-24-year-old is effortlessly cool and endlessly charismatic. Even when he’s making sort-of-lame attempts at picking up Charlie, he’s a winner in your book. The shots of him in his patch-covered leather jacket with those shades, riding his motorcycle make you go “I want that”. You like him so much the ace pilot thing is merely the cherry on top of the sundae. Flying is in his blood and you know it’s just a matter of time before everyone else figures it out. You’re happily positioning yourself so you can tell them all “I told you so!”

Is this a realistic portrayal of men preparing for war? I’d argue that it actually is; at least in a pre-combat sense. Each scene of the pilots hanging out on the beach playing volleyball or talking about their scores in the locker rooms shows us that carefree period before reality sets in and you have to consider what being engaged in aerial combat actually means.

In a way, it’s so masculine it becomes homoerotic, or maybe it’s the other way around. Either way, "romantic" is a good way to describe the film. Not only for the way director Tony Scott loves the planes, or for the way he longingly shoots these people as they train, but for the relationship between Maverick and Charlie. So what if you know it’s only a matter of time before they kiss? The important thing is that when you see them on-screen together, you can’t wait for them to become romantically involved. Cruise and McGillis have excellent chemistry and their first date will have you all sorts of steamy afterwards. Good thing we have those training scenes in between for you to cool off!

Top Gun may be a light-as-air fantasy but that’s ok. The soundtrack is excellent, as iconic as every other aspect of the film. The footage of these high-tech flying machines weaving through the air, dipping, and dodging so they can get their sights on their targets - or get away from them - is enthralling. You forget about everything outside of the film thanks to the editing by Billy Weber and Chris Lebenzon. The thought that this was all carefully staged for a shot never crosses your mind as it’s playing.

When I first saw Top Gun, I enjoyed it. I understood its appeal. I’m not sure what’s changed since then because this time? I loved it. Maybe time has made me appreciate the love scenes between the leads, or I have a greater understanding of how difficult a film this must’ve been to shoot, or my taste has evolved. Whatever the reason, Top Gun holds up. (On Blu-ray, June 8, 2022)

'Top Gun: Maverick' Was Well Worth the Wait

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Was Well Worth the Wait

Movies take a long time to make and bring to the silver screen, but this one took forever to debut thanks to the pandemic and a superstar’s strong desire to ensure it DID NOT debut on streaming. This is also a sequel which comes to us 36 years after the original, and that one was a classic 1980’s flick. Can you make a sequel to an 80’s classic in another decade where things have changed ever so…
