"This is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby"

[TheSportsPredictor]

That's a positive, Ghost Rider.

Top Gun roars back into theaters next weekend on its 25th anniversary.

No flyby near me, but perhaps near you.

**** jet pilots. That is all.

I was worried that this was a Tom Skerritt RIP thread.

SLIDER: Hey Goose, whose ass did you kiss to get in here?
GOOSE: The list is long, but distinguished.
SLIDER: Yeah, well so is my johnson.

Beautiful love story between a gay man and gay woman.

 

[doubledown68]

Oh, goody. Digitally remastered, not-so-subtle homoerotic undertones for everybody!

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Yeah, I don't think anyone can watch that love scene the same way again...

 

[Mizzougrad96]

No, there are three Os in "closeted homosexual"

Goose was the real star of the movie. Just as Morris Day was the real star of Purple Rain.

I was so in love with Tom Skerritt during the Top Gun-Space Camp days. Back off me!

I've never really watched "Top Gun."

Bits and pieces over the years on cable, but never the whole movie at one sitting.

Creosote? *Sniff* You stink.

When you think of Cruise and McGillis, it makes Kenny Loggins' "highway to the danger zone" lyric make a lot more sense.

The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

You're not missing much. It's amazing how poorly it holds up, IMO.

It has faded considerably.

At this point, I'd usually add something about it still being better than 95 percent of new movies, but people here sometimes start screaming if any assessment of modern film/TV is critical in the slightest fashion.

Ah, memories. My stepfather used to enjoy inviting friends over, firing up the Hi-Fi VHS and four Bose 901s with the sound of the F-15s blasting on the aircraft carrier.

That, much like the film, was a Cheap Trick.

I believe I've said this before, but as it turned out, Goose was the lucky one after eating the canopy upon his ejection. He didn't have to stick around for the rest of the movie.

When I saw the thread title I expected to read they were doing a remake so I guess this isn't as bad as it could have been.
