Top Gun (1986)

Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer both fly fighter planes and hate each other. Tom Cruise has sex with some woman in a bed while music plays, and later he flies his plane upside down. I think there's a bar fight, and I assume Tom Cruise gets "grounded" but then ends up saving the day in some kind of combat situation and thereby redeeming himself, although to be honest I really might just be remembering the plot of the 1991 parody film Hot Shots! Oh, and Tom Cruise has a cool nickname like "Topper." (No, wait, that is from Hot Shots! What's his nickname, then? "Tucker"? "Tiger"? "Tugboat"? Something with a T.*)

This movie's a bit of a sausage fest, as I recall.

* "Maverick." I was close.

  1. Total sausage fest. Can't believe you don't remember the volleyball scene. YouTube that.
