Classic film with loads of extras - Top Gun review by Martin J from Portsmouth
It is worth seeing "Top Gear" in DVD or Blu-Ray with the cool soundtrack with some of the all-time best songs from the 1980's. There are over three hours on the making of, marketing and music videos. The special effects still look good today and the film is well made and has some good character development and romance. The film is feel good propaganda sometimes but does not get too heavy and shows the real problems the pilots face in training and combat. I would recommend this film even to people who have seen it a few times already, like I had.

One of the best action films - Top Gun review by Martin J from Portsmouth
I would recommend seeing "Top Gun" again on disk as this film has some of the coolest tunes from the era and there are plenty of extras on the disk with over three hours of making of specials. The special effects still look good today and the film has a great story that shows the problems faced by the elite academy of pilots that want to make the "Top Gun". This is set against a real human interest subtext with a romance developing for the main characters while they face crashes and air combat operation challenges. I would recommend seeing "Top Gear" for the action and romance with the sound track typical of the 1980's.

A Film Of the 80s. It Still Entertains Though - Top Gun review by GI
With a best selling soundtrack album alongside its blockbuster box office Top Gun remains a favourite for many people. It's certainly a key film of the 80s and cemented Tom Cruise's trajectory as a major star for years to follow. It is a highly entertaining piece of pop art really with macho posturing and a really overt gay subtext, which I can't help think was director Tony Scott's sly dig at the flag waving conservative politics of the narrative. Cruise plays Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, a talented US Navy fighter pilot who has a penchance for rule breaking. He and his partner 'Goose' (Anthony Edwards) earn themselves a place at the navy's elite fighter training school known as Top Gun, but a tragic accident during the course forces Maverick to reconsider his future. There's a cheesy romance thrown into the mix for good measure and the flying scenes are spectacular even more so if seen on a big cinema screen. The bookending combat scenes are exciting and the added comedy makes the film highly quotable. However it's a film of its time but the cast is really good with Val Kilmer as Cruise' rival, Tom Skerritt, Michael Ironside, Kelly McGillis and an early role for Meg Ryan and Tim Robbins. It remains a neat piece of Hollywood hokum and benefits from seeing on a big cinema screen to allow all it's glory to really shine.
