Top Gun

Top Gun is a 1986 American action drama film directed by Tony Scott and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, with distribution by Paramount Pictures. The screenplay was written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr., and was inspired by an article titled “Top Guns”, written by Ehud Yonay and published in California magazine three years earlier. It stars Tom Cruise as Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a young naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. He and his radar intercept officer, Lieutenant (junior grade) Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards), are given the chance to train at the United States Navy‘s Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) at Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California. Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer and Tom Skerritt also appear in supporting roles.
The Top Gun soundtrack is one of the most popular soundtracks to date, reaching 9× Platinum certification and No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for five non-consecutive weeks in the summer and fall of 1986. Harold Faltermeyer, who previously worked with both Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson on Beverly Hills Cop, was sent the script of Top Gun by Bruckheimer before filming began. Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock worked on numerous songs including the Oscar-winning “Take My Breath Away“. Kenny Loggins performed two songs on the soundtrack, “Playing with the Boys“, and “Danger Zone“. Berlin recorded the song “Take My Breath Away”, which would later win numerous awards, sending the band to international acclaim. After the release of Loggins’s single “Danger Zone”, sales of the album exploded, selling 7 million in the United States alone. On the re-release of the soundtrack in 2000, two songs that had been omitted from the original album (and had been released many years before the film was made), “Great Balls of Fire” by Jerry Lee Lewis and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” by The Righteous Brothers, were added. The soundtrack also includes “Top Gun Anthem” and “Memories” by Faltermeyer, with Steve Stevens also performing on the former. Source: Wikipedia

That was a good movie. I haven’t watched it in years, though.
Wishing you a lovely Wednesday <3
I’ve not seen it in years either. It’s action packed. Hugs, my friend. 🙂
Love the soundtrack, but never saw the film- shocking, huh? Thanks for hosting. Have a wonderful day. XO
Not shocking. It’s not for everyone. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Ellen. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Good movie! I do like Top Gun Maverick better though.
I’ve not seen that one. I need to fix that. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
That was a great movie.
It sure was and I loved the music. 🙂
We are huge Top Gun Maverick fans and the music. My mind will be humming that tune today. I will watch that movie anytime I see it listed.
We like Mission Impossible too.
Hugs to humans and their Feline bosses
Cecilia
You’ll be humming some great music today. Thank you for all the hugs to us and the feline bosses. Love and hugs. 🙂
Believe it or not, I have never seen that movie all the way through. The soundtrack is really great, though!
The soundtrack is most amazing. 🙂
Kelly McGillis owned a bar in Key West, FL, and the bar was the wing of a jet.
I recall good food, and fabulous drinks there!
I didn’t know that. How cool. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
One of the classic films of my youth. The theme song is so super classic. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
I loved the movie and really loved the music. Thanks for linking up, Patrick. 🙂
Oh, Sandee, we just see that we were already in the linky, but we don’t know how to delete this new entree🙈 We’re sure we have seen Top Gun, but have to look in again, because we don’t remember what’s going on there. Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead to you, Zane and the kitties too🐾😽💞
I already deleted the second link. It’s so easy to put two in. I love the movie and all the great music. Double Pawkisses to the kitties and a big hug to you. 🙂
Great soundtrack! I haven’t seen the movie, but I do like Tom Cruise. I think he’s a better actor than he’s given credit for. Happy Wednesday, Sandee! Thanks for the linking opportunity.
Some really great music in the movie. Happy WW, Debbie. 🙂
Ok…true confession time. I have not seen this movie (though I have seen some excerpts/teasers) nor its sequel.
I enjoyed it very much. Lots of action. A hug to you and scritches to the pups. 🙂
a great film, that I loved!
It is a great film with some really great music. 🙂
I can always watch Tom Cruise LOL, great movie!
I can too. Happy WW. Scritches to the precious pups. 🙂
A great movie even though it made me cry (Goose.) And while everyone else was drooling over Tom Cruise, I was drooling over Tom Skerritt. I thought he was sooo handsome. I can’t believe he’s 91. – I added my link. 🙂 Big hugs. xoxo
That was a very sad part of the movie indeed. Big hugs, Karen. I love you. 🙂
Again a movie I know and I like it, even a little bit unnatural! Like all of this kind!
Happy WW, dear Sandee. Hugs and a beautiful week ahead! ❤️😘
And the music is amazing. Happy WW and rest of the week. Hugs, my friend. 🙂
A fabulous movie, there is nothing about this movie I don’t like. And the music was fantastic. I did not know that the soundtrack was 9 times platinum…I can see why. Amazing choice again Sandee. Happy Wordless Wednesday!
I agree with you, Suzette. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Hugs. 🙂

It’s one of my husband’s favorites, along with the new one.
I pray you and Mr. Zane have a great rest of the week, and scritches to the kitties.

Thank you. You, too. 🙂
one of the best movie soundtracks of all time!
I agree with you. Action packed with fabulous music. 🙂
I love that song, “You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling.” The Firm did a remake in the early 80s that I loved.
I also enjoyed “Great Balls of Fire” in this movie. My mom had that JLL album.
I’ve seen this movie and the sequel. Both were good!
I need to see the sequel. I’ve not seen it yet. I love the music too. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
