Top Gun: Maverik was downright fantastic. It was refreshing to see Hollywood not fumble the legacy of an absolute classic.

"Sleepaway Camp" (1983)
Haven't watched this flick since I watched it in a movie theater in its initial run.
The claim to fame of this movie is the "twist" at the end... At the time it was stunning.
Today it would be considered much less so.
The movie is incredibly "dated". It screams "1980's" more than just about any other horror film I've watched from that era.
In 1983 I probably would have given it a 6.0 based on the twist.
Today, I'm not so generous– 4.5/10.

I just watched this
are you messing with everyone?
that has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen, it was so awful it was hilarious, I cant believe it ever got made. The budget had to be about 100 bucks given how pathetic the acting was.
it did give me several lulz, so there's that
I cant believe I watched the whole thing just to see the ender you teased, you got me

He gave it a 4.5, which may be the lowest rating I've seen him give any movie. Lol

LOL!
I didn't mean to "get" you.
I can tell you at the time it was released it created quite the up-roar.

True.
There are many recent movies I've found on Tubi that are worse than "Sleepaway Camp" where I don't get through the first 20 minutes.
As a side note, the original movie spawned 4 sequels and there's talk about rebooting the original!

I can certainly imagine that last seen did, it was the horror version of The Crying Game
the acting was hilariously bad so that kept me somewhat interested

Love her, but the trailer didn't look good. Could be they didn't use the best parts of the movie for the trailer, like they usually do.

It is out there for sure. If you watch it, give it time to start cooking. My wife looked at me sideways the first 15 minutes, but she loved it after it was over.

I just recently discovered Tubi. Seems like a pretty cool app so far, though I haven't had time to really dive into it yet.

Went for the full Top Gun: Maverick treatment tonight. Dinner at Applebee's, and AMC full recliner leather seats.
The jet scenes, and there are many, are very intense. There are many heroic actions in this movie. There were emotional moments, and, many belly laughs as well. One scene in particular that was emotional, was the scene at a funeral, where a folded American flag, and a salute with rifles were presented.
The memorable music for me, was the Kenny Loggins song "Danger Zone," David Bowie's "Let's Dance," and The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again."
"Don't think ... Use The Force Pete!!"
