Thought some of you would like this.

... During filming, director Tony Scott wanted to shoot aircraft landing and taking off, back-lit by the sun. During one particular filming sequence, the ship's commanding officer changed the ship's course, thus changing the light. When Scott asked if they could continue on their previous course and speed, he was informed by the commander that it cost $25,000 to turn the ship, and to continue on course. Scott wrote the carrier's captain a $25,000 check so that the ship could be turned and he could continue shooting for another five minutes -- and then he bounced the check.

If there is a better movie I haven't seen it...

Top Gun lags behind Point Break, tying for second with Tombstone.

With that said, most people wouldn't catch 90% of that list. How many non-Naval Aviators know what freaking gauges are in the backseat? Stall recovery or NATOPS procedures for the F-14? Airplane guys and scale modelers.

My wife had never seen Point Break, we watched it last night. It is a good movie, but it isn't Top Gun.

If there's another movie with better (non-CGI) aerial cinematography than Top Gun, I'd love to hear about it.

The scene where the young man comes to the house to take the daughter on a date....is a fathers dream

It is terrible, but if you want to watch it, it is on Netflix.

Bad Boys 2 is probably the best documentary about my life that there is.

Top Gun is the absolute shit.

The only thing better than the movie is the soundtrack.

Point of Hilarity:

Naval Strike Air Warfare Center aka the real "Top Gun" is out of NAS Fallon.... next door to me.

Every Navy birthday?

Top Gun for free, base theater.

Top Gun is the absolute shit.

The only thing better than the movie is the soundtrack.

Giorgio Moroder, Faltermeyer, Stevens et al were brought together by the gods do the Top Gun soundtrack.

I didn't realize how long ago 'Top Gun' came out, turns out it was released six years before I was even born , and its 30th anniversary is next year :-".
