8 of 1001 Top Gun

"Top Gun" is a good film. Good acting, good soundtrack, yet I don't think it belongs on this list. Yes it was the film that shot Tom Cruise into the stratosphere of "big celebrities" but I just don't understand why I must see this film before I die.

It's about flying and regaining your courage to fly after a traumatic event. Loss and Love are the two emotions this film runs on. Losing a friend, and falling in love.

Good fight sequences in the F-15's and Tom Cruise is very believable as a flying ace. I just don't need to sit and rewatch this one again.

Interesting choice from this book, of which I disagree in that I don't think not seeing "Top Gun" is a crime. Either you're a fan of Tom's or you're not. That's just my two cents, take it or leave it.

-A-
