ceebeegeeFrom the Washington Post:
Top Gun is full of unintentional comedy, and, more hilariously, unacknowledged homoeroticism. I loved the move as a kid, but watched it again as an adult a couple of years ago and couldn't get over how incredibly gay the whole movie is, from beginning to end! Ripped, shirtless guys playing volleyball in tight jeans whilst slapping eachother on the butt? The locker-room confrontation between the Ice Man and Tom Cruise, where they seriously look like they're a moment away from kissing and starting a towel-snap-a-licious orgy? That coupled with the utter lameness of the jokes and plot devices (which I thought were "so cool" when I saw it as a kid) had me in stitches throughout the movie. I'm amazed that no one seemed to notice this stuff when the movie came out...of course, maybe they did, but I was nine, what did I know?
