I forgot to mention that next weeks “Catch-Up Movie Night” will be none other than Top Gun. This is another one that Kristin hasn’t seen, but will soon understand why I say some of the things that I say. You know why I chose that one don’t you? Because I feel the need… the need for speed. And on top of that after Karate Kid II there’s really no point in following that series. Am I right? This is before Tom Cruise got all weird and freaky and was king of the 80’s. A king who showed us all a new awesome way to “high five”.
So get out there and rent Top Gun and hop on the highway to the danger zone. Then we can talk about how awesome it is.

I know this is totally not on topic but I was wondering what kind of camera you had.
It’s a Nikon D40X. And it’s almost as awesome as Top Gun. See how I tied that in?
nice…taking Kristin to the “Danger Zone”
more off-topic goodness - Brody, I find it hard to believe that you only have 1 Feedburner subscriber. You probably just signed up for it, right? Well, I just switched to your Feedburner feed to get the ball rolling.
Great movie. Has she seen, Day of Thunder?
i refuse to watch anything that has tom cruise in it … regardless of if it is top gun or not.
excellent choice… top gun is classy!
top gun is an amazing film!! i just watched it last week….
“The need for speed” is cool, so is ” kick the tires and light the fires” And I agree with Jeff. If the Tom Cruise didn’t do such cool movies I wouldn’t see them either. Face it mission impossible would be cool even if Keunu Reeves did it.
Cooldad. Yeah I just added that thing yesterday and I don’t even really know what it means. I just saw that Carlos had it and I wanted one.
My wife and I are laughing at your movie catch up stuff - awesome! And you’ve picked one of the most quotable “guy” movies of all time . . . Here’s the question - when you watch it, can you try to figure out whether or not the “hard deck” is something they’re supposed to stay above or below - we always wonder about the wording they use . . .
“Slider (sniff) you stink”
“crash and burn huh mav?”
“it’s time to budge the tower!”
“hey mav…you don’t have the number of that truck driving school still do yah?”
“he is 100%, prime time in love with you!”
such a goooooood movie.
Great movie choice! I agree with some people on here, saying Tom Cruise is in some sweet movies or else, I wouldn’t really care for watching anything with him in it. And Mission Impossible I don’t think would have been as cool with Keanu Reeves in it, haha, sorry.
For a change in normal motives, I think the next time I plan on getting a girl to notice me, maybe I’ll tell her she has lost that loving feeling haha. I love that part.
Great choice Brody.
“That’s right…Iceman (teeth clinch)…I am dangerous”!
And btw, you stay above the “hard deck”.
Actually after thinking about, I think the teeth clinch comes after “I am dangerous”.
Can anyone confirm?
I also love “Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash”!
This is great Brody!
Are you going to fast forward throught the ‘volleyball’ scene? That just makes me feel weird.
She’ll cry….
Carole: God, he loved flying with you Maverick. But he would’ve done it anyway… without you. He’d have hated it, but he would’ve done it.
sniff sniff
I LOVE this movie. One of my favorites of all time. I gotta watch it again. And about Karate Kid: (sorry about the late comment. I’m playing catch up) I think I had a mega crush on Ralph Macchio. Then I saw him live in the musical “How to Succeed in Business” and my crush dissipated on the spot. He’s only cool when he’s single and bare handedly chopping ice blocks in half.
I don’t know Brody, you might lose Kristin to Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer in the volleyball scene. yum, yum
There are so many good lines from this movie…why stop with danger zone and need for speed:
-”You don’t have time to think up there. If you think, you’re dead.”
-”Talk to me Goose”
-”The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room”
-”The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.”
-”Requesting permission for flyby.”
“That’s a negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full.”
-”You! You are still dangerous. You can be my wingman any time.” - “No - you can be mine”
Man I love that movie
I was in Publix one day last year when an entire frat walked in in the classic white t-shirt/blue jeans/aviators and began to serenade one of the female cashiers with “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling.” One guy did the lead, and the whole frat backed him up with harmonies and everything. It was pretty impressive haha.
I have a friend who is on UF’s synchronized swimming team, and their routine last year was to a Top Gun soundtrack medley.
It’s a classic.
I hope Kristin likes this one!!
such a great movie. the quote i love the most is when stinger(bald headed officer) is threatening Maverick.
stinger - “And if you screw up just this much, you’ll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!”
maverick - “yes sir”
that’s classic.
excellent choice for a catch-up flick! I’ve gotta wonder, though… What rock was Kristin hiding under in the 80’s?
btw– i love volleyball and i always dig that pose that Slider does — he’s a beast!
“Yee-haw, Jester’s dead!”
