Ffs I was not expecting the emotional punch from this. Top Gun is my all time favourite film having watched it at age 11/12 and wanting to be Maverick. A dream denied by asthma alas. I'm watching Maverick with ds who has shown a sudden interest in planes. I'm a way behind I know. I didn't know there'd be so many references and clips and links to the original. I didn't pay much attention to all the hype when I came out. I bawl every time Goose smacks his head and did it again 35 years later about half an hour ago. Ds is concerned 😬
No film has ever stirred my blood like Top Gun but planes are in my soul.
I've not got to the end of Maverick yet so there might be more tears. My adrenaline is pumping.
Any other big fans of the original have a similar reaction? I know there'll be those saying it's shite but his I love it.
