FMM: Top Gun

When the film "Top Gun" debuted in 1986, a lot of kids - including myself - suddenly dreamed of becoming pilots. 

Tom Cruise's portrayal of Maverick, as well as Val Kilmer's role as Iceman, made flying so cool that everyone wanted to fly a fighter jet. I remember being glued to the screen when we watched this in the cinema. 

Aside from the action and flying scenes, another memorable part of this film is the soundtrack. "Top Gun" featured such unforgettable songs as "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, "Take my breath away" by Berlin, and the song that became the "harana song du jour", this classic by the Righteous Brothers.

   

I just realized that it's Top Gun's 25th anniversary this year. Maybe they'll come up with a silver edition sometime soon.
