This week’s Flashback Feature: Top Gun

top-gun-poster06The sounds of F-14 Tomcats roaring through the sky. That’s all I remember from this film, honestly. As a kid, I was in love with jets and airplanes and all things that took flight and hence watched this film at least three times theatrically as my father and I shared the interest in flying machines. And I don’t remember jack shit other than the jets. No names of characters, didn’t give a shit about Tom Cruise, Nick Rivers, the guy from ER (spoiler alert) who dies, NOTHING. Of course as time progressed and pop culture became my thing, all that stuff was entrenched much later. Never got around to watching it again since then but look forward to checking it out again. As you know by now, the movie begins at 9pm at Edwards Theater in Riverpark and tickets are $5 and if you need a refresher on WTF this little plane movie is about, check out the trailer after the break.
