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.

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.
Well hello flyboy! This gay classic has it all: towel-clad locker room scenes, beach volley ball, tight uniforms, more locker room scenes, well-oiled muscular pretty boys preening and pouting, tragic love, karaoke, Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise. As a previous reviewer has already said, it makes you want to join the Airforce. Rent this, dim the lights, lock the door, have a box of tissues ready and have yourself a good time boy!!

The actress tells Elle magazine, "Tom has great taste. He usually likes everything, but sometimes I'll walk out and he'll say, 'I think that dress might be... Read more
