In celebration of Top Gun Maverick finally being released, lets rewatch the original over the next week and do our own version of The Rewatchables (have we ever done this?)

It's currently on Netflix and you have till May 27th

Also I strongly encourage everyone to actually watch the movie before answering the categories and not try to answer off memory.

Here are the categories:

Most Rewatchable scene

Best quote

What aged the best

What aged the worst

Dion waiters/heat check performance

Overacting award

Joey Pants "that guy" award

Picky nits

Unanswerable questions

Apex mountain

Who won the movie

I left off a few categories likes recasting couch and half assed internet research, but if you have good info on those, by all means share

Watched it last weekend with my sons who'd never seen it, and this made probably the 150th time I watched this movie since I was 16 in 1986, so let's go.

Most Rewatchable scene

Still love the Charlie reveal scene in the hangar and after the "Oh shite" moment Goose and Mav immediately start bragging about their Mig sighting. You get funny Goose, slick Maverick, Charlie is intrigued, the rest of the guys are jealous of his Mig sighting (even Ice Man though he tries not to show it) and then this...

- Iceman: You two really are cowboys.
- Maverick: What's your problem, Kazansky?
- Iceman: You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.
- Maverick: That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.

What aged the best

The chemistry between Goose and Mav. It's a shame that Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards never did anything else together. Still felt like an actual friendship.
