What Parents Need to Know
About Top Gun
Parents need to know that this blockbuster thriller is chock-full of narrow escapes, chases, and battles -- just what teens love to see. But parents beware: This film shows some violent deaths, chiefly the death of a main character, which make it too violent for most tweens. Teens will love the cool ambiance and the exhilarating action sequences. There's one graphic-for-its-time sex scene, though no nudity, and in one iconic scene there are quite a few naked male torsos on a beach volleyball court. Winning is the most important thing to all the pilots, who try to intimidate one another with plenty of posturing and banter. While sexism is quite noticeable, two strong female characters help keep some of the objectification in check.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether they believe the moral of the story: "There are no points for second place." Is winning all that matters? What would you jeopardize to win? Do you think it was right for Charlie to pursue a romantic relationship with Maverick?

Awesome movie!
This movie is absolutely incredible. Great theme song and anthem. IT also shows the characters feelings very well. Some violence and mild cussing, but nothing major.

One of My Favorite Movies...
I realize that many people don't like this movie. That's fine, but it is still great to me. I've even heard people say it's everything that was bad about the eighties. Don't be fooled. With it's rock and roll, aerial combat, and the underlying message about competitiveness, it shows me what's cool about the 80's.
