Best year for films..... 1986?
Watched Aliens last night, and it seems so many classic films were made in 1986 - definately in a golden year in film making! Some of the highlights being;
- Aliens
- Platoon
- Top Gun
- Crocodile Dundee
- Ferris Buellers Day Off
- Flight of the Navigator (for anyone who remembers!)
Probably other good ones Ive not mentioned too - cant think of another year which had so many good films!

Oh, and missing from your list is Blue Velvet - one of the best films ever made, a cinematic masterpiece. The antithesis of Top Gun in fact!

Top Gun may well be crap in many ways but I still have fond memories, your opinion of a film stays with you and depends on what stage of life/frame of mind you were in when you saw it, sometimes you arent actually thinking fondly of the film, just your memory of it and whatever was going on at the time. Thats why Ghostbusters holds good memories whilst Gremlins didnt, it mainly centered around trying to get my mits on some breasts, didnt manage during Gremlins but I did during Ghostbusters, it was another couple of years before I actually got to slime her though.

Top Gun is a film masterpiece......its Don and Jerry saying you can stick your poncy Blue Velvet crap because what puts people in cinemas is jets/motorbikes/attractive people on screen and cool one liners.
Going to the movies is about being entertain...about escaping to somewhere else.......Top Gun sold a zillion Ray Bans, a few GPZ900Rs, god knows how many Berlin tracks and invented more one liners than Brucey (not to mention recruitment into the Navy).
The only people who didnt like it are geeks that knew they'd never have the bike, the chick or the shades (geeks like tarantino before anyone trips off on the homo thing!)

as to why that didnt get an Oscar?
