"Was there a better film from the 80's
Folks tell me your top films to top Top Gun "
Without going away from the US military I would have to say you can take your pick from:
Platoon
Good Morning Vietnam
Full Metal Jacket
or stepping away slightly from the 'How great is the USA' type film you could have:
Born on the 4th of July
The Killing Fields
If you want action adventure/ sifi, take your pick from:
Raider of The Lost Ark (all 3)
Terminator
Blade Runner
Aliens
Labyrinth
Batman
Diehard
If you want comedy there is always:
Spinal Tap
Beetlejuice
Caddyshack
Then in the horror section (not my fave) so only 1 here:
Poltergeist
Of course you could pick family fave E.T.
I would suggest all the above 80's films are much better than Top Gun.

I cringe if I have to watch Top Gun now... 
Being a bit of (well, a LOT of) a cinema snob, my all time favourite film is from the mid 80's, but most people reading this will never have heard of it.
Heimat. German film by Edgar Reitz - 16 hours long and all subtitled! |
