 Goodness gracious great balls of fire!! 8 of 12 people found this review helpful.
Top Gun is the ultimate 80s film!! its perfect for both sexes as the boys love watching the MIGS and the F14 planes in action, the girls love to see the boys in action! ( Girls-look out for volley ball scene)
A great cast including Val kilmer- 'Ice man', Kelly McGillis, 'charlie' and Mr Tom cruise himself!..who plays the arrogant fighter pilot 'Maverick' who struggles to be ' the best of the best' against his arch nemesis 'ice man'
Top gun is packed with plenty of action, comedy and its also one of the greatest love stories of all time which features the song 'Take my breath away'-(Berlin)
look out for the scene where Maverick and Goose sing, 'you've lost that loving feeling' to kelly mcgillis which is very entertaining to watch! Top gun is fun and such a fabulous film to add to your collection, i'd be surprised if it didnt have you saying,
"son your ego is writing cheques your body cant cash",
" Take me to bed and loose me forever"
" I feel the need for speed" and
"Talk to me Goose".
by the end of it and singing along to the songs. Its not just a fun film, but its also deep and meaningful, very moving as we see Maverick struggle to graduate his top gun class after a tragic accident. i wont say much more, i dont want to spoil the film but i can tell you it has a happy ending! :)

Tom Cruise stars as fighter pilot "Maverick" with his wingman "Goose" played by Anthony Edwards. Due to unexpected emotional turmoil, Maverick finds himself filling the shoes of one of the best and most renowned fighter pilots in the USA "Cougar" at the country's most prestigious fighter weapons academy "Top Gun".
There he displays ingenious ability to fly fighter jets, although due his unorthodox style and will to take risks is not appreciated by everyone, including Top Gun trophy arch-rival "Iceman" played by Val Kilmer and academy astro-physicist "Charlie" played by Kelly McGillis.
Maverick, who later falls in love with Charlie, encounters tragedy when it suddenly strikes during a routine war scenario where Maverick's plane malfunctions and falls into an uncontrollable flat spin. This results in Goose's death caused by hitting the canopy as he furiously trys to eject himself from the falling aircraft. Mavericks guilt takes a hold of him and consequently finds it difficult to sustain his blossoming relationship with Charlie and his growth and concentration as a fighter pilot.
At the last moment, in a last-ditch effort, Maverick is called into action in a real war encounter with Russian Mig fighter pilots. There he displays his innate flare, determination and thrilling flying manoeuvres to defeat the enemy almost single-handedly and become the solitary war hero. For his efforts, he is rewarded with the offer of being a Top Gun instructor. Finally he is reunited with Charlie as they realise that they cannot live their lives without one another.
The movie takes you on a rollercoaster journey giving feelings of happiness, sadness, romance, achievement and satisfaction as Pete Mitchell finally lays the ghosts of his father Duke Mitchell's death to bed.
The movie also includes the great and unmistakable soundtracks "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", "Danger Zone" and "Take My Breath Away" to boot.
