Top Gun (1986)

Most people only describe Top Gun as a movie that they've seen. They don't talk about the acting, or story, or direction. Just that they've seen it. If you're lucky, the person you're talking to might sing one of the songs. 

When I saw it, it seemed pretty average and predictable enough. It had general 80's style everything and seemed to be going nowhere new. Then, all of a sudden, Maverick's best buddy dies. He spirals into a wallow of sadness and his rival gets the top of the class. It's was completely unpredictable and totally amazed me. Bravo, Top Gun.
