Top Gun (1986)
Starring: Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis Director: Tony Scott
Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility.
Top Gun
(DVD) The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time.
The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine.
This designer action movie from 1986 would be all the more appalling were it not for the canny casting of good actors in dumb parts. Standouts include Anthony
Edwards -- who makes a nice impression as Cruise's average - Joe pal --
and the relatively unknown Meg Ryan in a small but memorable appearance.
The DVD release has optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, optional French soundtrack, optional Spanish subtitles, and closed captioning.
