Top Gun -

Quotes List "I feel the need, the need for speed."

Top Gun is one of those movies I've sort of seen before but never sat down and watched all the way through. It's very well made with good performances, however the characters and script are pretty thin, good effort is made, but Maverick's actions are often unmotivated or just melodramatic lacking focus.

The soundtrack is so damn good though. Danger Zone, Take My Breath Away, You've lost that lovin feeling, Great Balls of Fire. Some great stuff there, Take my Breath Away is still, considering the last dances I went to, the slow dance song of choice twenty years later, shame it's not on the Songs list.

Cheesy, yes, effective--well just watch this flick with your girl.
