Amazon.com essential video:
Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine. This designer action movie from 1986 would be all the more appalling were it not for the canny casting of good actors in dumb parts. Standouts include Anthony Edwards--who makes a nice impression as Cruise's average-Joe pal--and the relatively unknown Meg Ryan in a small but memorable appearance. --Tom Keogh

- Tom Cruise at his Best
If you own an hd dvd player this is a must have for your collection. Great movie! Great Price! If you have a surround system with a DTS mode, select Dolby 6.1 DTS and be prepared to be blown away.

- Awesome
I feel the need, the need for speed !
This is perhaps the most important line in the entire movie which was later used in other movies and games.
TOP GUN is by far the best movie around dogfighting and war planes in general.
Maverick ( Tom Cruise ) although he is still young in the acting business performs admirably and makes a character that will never be forgot.
TOP GUN got a face lift in the HD-DVD version , the entire film looks a lot better and the sound is crystal clear. ... Read More

- Details of Blu-ray Special Collector's Edition due out July 29th, 2008
Top Gun is the kind of movie that can really benefit from hi-def treatment, with thrilling fighter jet acrobatics and vast shots of earth, sea, sky, and much smaller but still big enough things like aircraft carriers. The filmmakers took great care to achieve realism in some of its technical aspects while letting the plot fly high in typical Hollywood manner. The result is not only a solid mainstream blockbuster, but even for many who flinch at its implausibilities and plot cliches it qualifies as a ... Read More

- An oldie, but...
I originally saw this in the theater, and when this movie first came out on VHS, I saw it on a neighbor's in-home theater system, and the sensation was beyond words (for the time).

Fast forward to DVD and today's theater technology, and this is still a great movie. But the addition of the second disk really makes this a great deal. The background of the film and the commentary from those Naval aviators who did the flying made this something I could not pass up.

I was lucky enough ... Read More

What is not good about " Top Gun" - crank up the sound and enjoy a bunch of cocky competent pilots race thorough the sky with their hair on fire.
