Quentin Tarantino's vigorous assertion in Sleep with Me that this is the ultimate gay fantasy movie rather pulls the carpet from under the feet of those attempting to appraise this slavish tribute to flash fly boys and their hi-tech toys. There is no denying the quality and entertainment value of the flying sequences, which effortlessly blend mile-high footage with state-of-the-art modelwork, but the rivalry between Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, and Cruise's tempestuous affair with Kelly McGillis, are pure bunk. Yet, with the shameful exception of McGillis, all emerged with reputations enhanced, particularly director Tony Scott, who takes all the credit for preventing this mindless macho daydream from nose-diving.

Top Gun...Top Film
I can't believe i am the first person to be singing the praises of this film...it is an absolute classic and i can see no circumstances where it should be passed over.
A simple piece of advice...watch it, watch it now and you'll be quoting lines and siging up to be a fighter pilot before you know it.
There really is something for everyone, convince the missus it's a love story then sit back and enjoy the fighter pilot action.
Simply genius. -

A script outline has already been penned, but the project is largely dependant on the 46-year-old actor agreeing to reprise his role as ace pilot Maverick, reports the Sun. Given the recent success of other 1980s franchises such as Indiana Jones and Rocky, movie bosses are keen to for Cruise to resurrect his character some 22 years after the original. An insider...
