Top Gun
To call 1986’s Top Gun “formative” to my upbringing would be reductive. As a little boy growing up in rural Kansas, I was inclined to seek out movies that would teach an impressionable kid like me how to act (or at least dress) like more of a grown-up. I put this collection together in anticipation of the release of Top Gun: Maverick and my deep appreciation of the original film's historic importance to the evolution of the home video market, complete with a classic brand partnership with Diet Pepsi.
