Of course it’s a little more surprising to hear that someone hasn’t seen Top Gun than it is to hear that they haven’t seen Cocktail, but Cocktail was still a pretty big movie back in the 80s when it came out just like most Tom Cruise movies were back in the 80s and 90s. It was fairly popular, and I guess that I just expect anyone who likes Tom Cruise to have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of those movies that’s been referenced so many times, in so many contexts, I feel like I’ve already seen it. So by this point, I’m curious to see if I can enjoy this decades-later sequel armed with only what I’ve absorbed through cultural osmosis. I did that with Creed (that was my first “Rocky” movie), and I still understood probably 90% of the references, and I completely loved the movie.

Phaseknox Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I grew up in the 80s, so that’s part of why I’m a big fan of 80s movies and music. I know that a lot of you are younger, so I can understand why 80s stuff wouldn’t have the same appeal to you. I admittedly haven’t watched a lot of 80s movies in a while, so it’s likely that I would find many of them to be cheesy now. Or maybe I would still like them due to nostalgia. Who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Don’t worry @SuperSpreader I too haven’t seen Top Gun or Cocktail. I have heard the soundtrack for Cocktail on repeat from my sisters room years and years ago. So no desire really to see it, but I have at least I’ve tried to watch Top Gun. Receiver crapped out on me 1st attempt and yesterday (to watch out of boredom) it was listed on CBS. I also get the Buffalo feed and they sadly were covering the shooting instead.

TheLeon Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Just to dig myself an even deeper hole, looking at his IMDB, the only 80's Cruise movie I've actually seen is Rain Main. I've seen nearly everything from A Few Good Men on, but just never got around to the earlier stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was even reviewed as such back when it came out. I like Days of Thunder but it doesn't hold a candle to Top Gun. Tony Scot basically repeated himself with it almost beat for beat. What's interesting is how influential both movies were on gaming particularly Sega. Top Gun definitely inspired After Burner and Days of Thunder pretty much led to Daytona USA. Both Sega arcade hits that pushed their home consoles. On 5/14/2022 at 3:42 PM, Kal-El814 said: Cocktail is... not good. At all.

Bloodporne Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sign me up for "Cocktail sucks". I like literally every other one of the 80s Cruise movies mentioned here more. Also, I haven't followed Maverick at all and just assumed it was some shitty cash grab I guess because I cannot believe how damn good the reviews are, jesus.

Joseph Kosinki directed it and he made the underrated Tom Cruise movie Oblivion. I remember Cruise was really impressed with him. I've heard it's good from folks who've seen it, but supposedly it's 75 to 80% close ups. I wonder if it has anything to do with scheduling or Covid.

TheLeon Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 It’s funny that since this was held for so long, Kosinski’s next movie comes out less than a month later on Netflix (Spiderhead). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
