Celebrate Top Gun Day by streaming the classic — here are the cheapest places to find it
We’re still seven months from the release of Top Gun: Maverick, but you don’t have to wait that long to watch shirtless volleyball or hear Kenny Loggins. May 13th is Top Gun Day – think of Pirate Day. Only you can say to everyone, “Son, your ego is writing checks that your body cannot cash” instead of “Arrr”.
One of the advantages of Top Gun Day is to force your partner to see Top Gun with you. Undoubtedly, some of you still have your original copy of the film on LaserDisc, but if you need a place to watch it turns out that rental and purchase prices vary from streaming service to streaming service.
