Glad to see I'm not the only pilot who thinks Top Gun is silly.


I can't think of any of my aviator friends, Naval or otherwise, who
doesn't consider it a silly movie.

All movies are silly to some extent, but did the movie do what it set
out to do. Yep, in spades. A 2 hour advertisement for the Navy.
Absolutely the best photography and sound up to that point, I would love
to see that movie done in Dolby.

The DVD is available in Dolby. Complete with commentary saying
everyone knows it was a silly movie.

Are you saying the Navy paid to have that movie made?

IMHO, what "the movie set out to do" was to make a huge pile of money
for the producer, nothing else. It was purely a business enterprise.

I'm willing to learn otherwise.
