How about a movie where a Naval Officer makes a well known bet with his best friend that he can assault a girl in the bathroom or at least on the premises? And an entire bar full of other military men support and help him?
Top Gun


Thank you

Top Gun
She's questioning an assault.



I have never seen Top Gun.

So I was asking for the movie.
That's a surprise.

You were like 15 when it came out and the biggest blockbuster of the summer.

WTF.

So, despite growing up in the 80s, somehow I never saw 16 Candles, so based off this thread, I decided I should watch it... It definitely does not hold up. Unlike Blazing Saddles, which is very racist, but done in an anti racist way, 16 Candles is very rapey, but it's done in a pro-rape kind of way. Besides the whole part where Jake tells Anthony Michael Hall that he can rape his girlfriend, and later AMH actually does rape her. And not only that, but the girl seems to actually like it and decides to date him. You've also got AMH forcing himself in Molly Ringwald on multiple occasions.

Beyond AMH, Jake, who I guess is supposed to be the good guy, had no interest in Samantha until he found a note where she said she'd have sex with him.

Samantha sister also clearly got married while under the influence, which probably makes their marriage not valid. Also, it likely means her new husband started off the marriage by raping his wife on their wedding night.

Let's talk about the grandparents. First, Samantha's grandmother assaults her in the hall way by forcibly feeling her. What kind of sick grandparents talk about their grand daughter getting her boobs? Also, how do they have a foreign exchange student? They are clearly way to old. I'm fairly certain they only brought him over to be slave labor and do all the difficult manual work they are too old to do.

Lastly, who gets married in their sister's birthday?

The whole movie is seriously f'd up.

"So you're the one?"

Oops, that's one of a thousand Top Gun quotes you won't get until you see the movie about 100 times.

Seriously, you should watch it just because it's part of American culture. It was big enough to have a sequel 35 years later that "saved the cinema" according to Steven Spielberg.

I saw "King Solomon's Mines" the other day for the first time, and I was pretty amazed it was made in the 80's.

Yeah but the asian teens loved the new "Donger!" nickname they all got.

I love thinking about Sixteen Candles because it then leads my brain into thinking about how great Better Off Dead is.

Didn't say we didn't have public libraries.

Said I couldn't get there because of my family life.

Please stop.
Not seeing Top Gun is not a big deal.
I just asked a question
