Quote from: Shamrock Shore on April 02, 2025, 05:46:53 AMHad it tough last few years.

I remember seeing Top Secret in 1984 and almost getting sick in the cinema with the laughter. Airplane/Naked Gun humour. Which I love.

Feck Top Gun shite.

RIP

Top Secret one of the most criminally underated comedy spoofs(unknown maybe a better description). Still regularly quoted when a few of us are together.

RIP Val

He was outstanding in Tombstone RIP

Quote from: gerrykeegan on April 02, 2025, 08:21:12 AMI watched Top Gun with a buddy three times in a row in the green cinema in Dublin in 1998. You could pay 2 quid and stay and watch the film as many times as you wanted. We wanted to perfect that scene you've lost that loving feeling. We had no success with it. Rip Great actor.

Once you realise that Top Gun is seen as the most homoerotic film ever made (young men in their white uniforms and bare chested beach volley ball) the above post sounds like you are trying to come out of the closet.

I've no idea what that scene is about , but that post is a bit suspect all right

Blokes sings song to hot girl in the bar. All bar joins in with the chorus. Hot girl loves the song. Blokes beds hot girl. (Or that was the purpose of their plan)
What's gay about that?

The premise of the movie was the conflict within Maverick. Whether to go straight and chase the girl, or stay with the men and play for the other team.

Brilliant in that movie, his best ever performance IMO

Always thought he was a good actor. Big fan of him from Willow as Madmartigan.

He was indeed. Apparently asked for his deathbed to be filled with ice which he laid on. Not only to shake more in the performance but to create a pain.

As for top Gun most if not all Tom Cruise films are the same.

That's hilarious.

I was always a bit jealous of Val because he was married to woof Joanne woof Whalley woof woof! But the years have not been as kind to her as they have been to me.

Quentin Tarantino famously described Top Gun as a gay movie.

One of the earliest quotes in the movie is when Commander Stinger says to Maverick "Id like to bust your butt but I can't"
One of the last quotes in the movie is when Iceman says to Maverick " You can ride my tail anytime"

And let's not go to the scene when they are all in the changing room wearing only towels. 😜

I don't mind one way or the other. I'm just trying to get Gerry Keegan to come to terms with why he likes the film so much and why he spent an afternoon with his pal in a dark Dublin cinema watching it over and over again.

Fond of free movies!!

Ah I remember the days of bunking into the pictures! One lad paid in, he opens the side door and we all piled in! No PlayStations in those days!
