In one of the loudest, dumbest, and sweatiest of all 80s action films, Tom Cruise stars as Maverick, a flying ace at Top Gun Naval Flying School. Directed by the great Tony Scott (THE HUNGER, TRUE ROMANCE, UNSTOPPABLE), TOP GUN was added to the National Film Registry in 2015 for kicking ass. The dogfights and aerial stunts are among the best ever filmed, and the Navy reported that recruitment went up 500% after the film’s release. With Val Kilmer, Tim Robbins, and Kelly McGillis.
