Top Gun (12A)

★★★ There is no denying the quality and entertainment value of the flying sequences, which effortlessly blend mile-high footage with state-of-the-art modelwork. But the rivalry between Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, and Cruise's tempestuous affair with Kelly McGillis, are pure bunk. ~ Radio Times.

The 1986 Tom Cruise classic movie in which students at the United States Navy's elite fighter weapons school compete to be best in the class.

★★★★★ "Top Gun" is the type of movie that turns the screen into an altar. Kneeling before its slick façade of 1980s magnificence, you are in the shadow of a film that has defined the modern day action blockbuster. ~ BBC.

★★★★ Not exactly a cinema classic but it has not only become a cultural icon but remains infinitely rewatchable. ~ Empire.
