So on May the 16th 2016 Top Gun the movie turned 30 this means I was only 2 years old when the movie was released which when I think about it is crazy but none the less it still stands on it’s own as a classic film.
For those of you who have not seen Top Gun let me give you a bit of background on the film itself it stars Tom Cruise as lose cannon fighter pilot Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell who has entered into flight school to try and be the best pilot there is. He brings with him some attitude that rubs the other pilots in the flight school the wrong way especially Val Kilmers character Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazanski who knows about Mavericks fathers past as a pilot and knows his error caused other pilots to lose there life.
The film also stars Mavericks wingman Nick ‘Goose’ Bradshaw played by Anthony Edwards and Mavericks love interest Charlie Blackwood played by Kelly McGillis who also turns out to be a flight instructor at the flight school. This film has it all in my book Action, Romance, Bromance, awesome quotes and to top it off an awesome soundtrack. Some of the great tunes you can find in this film include Kenny Loggins – Danger Zone, Berlin – Take my breath away and the Top Gun Anthem by Steve Stevens and Harold Faltermeyer you can give it a listen in full on Spotify.
As for the quotes in the film here are some of my favorites
1. Maverick:- “I feel the need…”
Goose:- “The need for speed!”
2. Stinger: “Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing. (Pause) What you should have done was land your plane! You don’t own that plane! The taxpayers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash!”
3. Carole: “Take me to bed or lose me forever.”
Goose: “Show me the way home, honey.”
4. Iceman: “You can be my wingman any time.”
Maverick: “Bullshit! You can be mine.”
5. Maverick, spotting Charlie for the first time: “She’s lost that loving feeling.”
6. Goose: “No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.”
Maverick: “Sorry, Goose, but it’s time to buzz the tower.”
7. Maverick, walking into a bar: “This is what I call a target-rich environment.”
8. Jester: “His fitness report says it all. Flies by the seat of his pants, totally unpredictable.”
Viper: “He got you, didn’t he?”
9. Charlie: “You’re not going to be happy unless you’re going Mach 2 with your hair on fire.”
10. Maverick: “You don’t have time to think up there. If you think, you’re dead.”
