TCP - Top Gun

It's Retro Movies, would be the theme for this week's TCP edition. Lots of movies back in the 80's that was totally hit. Hence, they may look and sound gay from acting to the effects but it was the coolest back then. Tom Cruise was so cool in the 80s and of course so was this movie. Top Gun is my pick for Retro Movies. The macho students of an elite US Flying school for advanced fighter pilots compete to be best in the class, and one romances the teacher.


Top Gun is a 1986 American action film directed by Tony Scott under Paramount Pictures company and was inspired by the article "Top Guns" written by Ehud Yonay for California Magazine. View the full synopsis of the movie or watch the full trailer and fall in love with young Tom Cruise.
