I am not a Tom Cruise fan, but thought it was a great movie.
On this day in history, May 16, 1986, Tom Cruise Cold War blockbuster 'Top Gun' jets across silver screen"Top Gun" was the top-grossing movie of 1986 by a wide margin. It made upstart 23-year-old actor Tom Cruise one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and produced a No. 1 soundtrack featuring top acts of the 1980s, including Kenny Loggins, Cheap Trick and Loverboy.
Kelly McGillis played Charlie, the blonde bombshell instructor at the Navy’s elite "Top Gun" flight school and, of course, Cruise’s love interest.
The movie was so popular – 46 million people in North America bought tickets that year – that it had a ripple effect on pop-culture that is still felt today. ..............
