Here is a great exchange between Iceman (that call sign is ...read the complete Top Gun movie review at MovieFreak.com (Greg Malmborg)

Noisy, slick, and shallow, Tony Scott's MTV-like actioner became emblematic of 1980s blockbusters, reflecting in its macho bravado and cheap elitism the mood of the Reagan era; in the process, it also made Tom Cruise the biggest star of his generation ...read the complete Top Gun movie review at EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)
