What I knew about Top Gun before watching it on tv last night (non-exhaustive of course, but these are the main points really):
1. Tom Cruise, fighter pilot, Val Kilmer, antagonist.
2. "Take My Breath Away" (good).
3. 80s (see previous).
4. Famously homoerotic topless volleyball scene.
So, really I hardly needed to watch it at all cos it turns out that was all I needed to know. An additional highlight, closely related to #3 above - the hyper-dramatically hazy San Diego, California sunset palm tree shots.
