[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for all the replies. I think we will go forward with seeing both the original and the sequel. I completely forgot there was part 2, so I assumed DS was talking about the original Top Gun.

I saw the movie when I was very young and cannot recall anything inappropriate. But, as my kids start watching some of the older movies I get surprised by my vague warm and fuzzy memories vs. the actual content that might be considered inappropriate today :-D

Also, I am from Europe originally and come from a family with very relaxed attitude towards movies and TV content. I am not talking about porn here :-), but seeing two grown ups getting romantically involved in a non-gross way, only ever brought thoughts like “are they getting married?” 😂. My friends watched similar stuff. After watching Top Gun, everyone was just wishing to become a pilot.

Things are now different both in the US and Europe, so I follow common sense media and similar recommendations. I was surprised about their warnings about language and “romantic” content, hence my question here.

Like I said,  my DS is fascinated with planes and pilots and I don’t think he will care about brief kissing here and there. Curse words are something else, but I will just emphasize the usual that not everything we hear should be repeated. [/quote]

If it wasn’t inappropriate before it’s not today.  11yr olds are either in MS or on their way.  Trust me, they will hear worse there.[/quote]
