I wanted to be a fighter pilot so I have always been a Top Gun fan. Yeah the 80's one was one of those US military hype moves during the Regan years, but it was still a classic.

As for the new one... I think I have seen it now more than the original, lol. I love the flight scenes and how they were done. Gives me hella respect for the cast and crew that actually went up in the F-18s. It was extremely well made and, yeah, I liked the story. The dude that played Goose's son was a dead freaking ringer.

So yeah, I have to agree, excellent movie!
