Unless you remembered to mark your F-14 Tomcat calendar, it could've easily slipped your mind that this spring marks the 25th anniversary of the best acting-is-easier-in-a-cockpit movie of all time: Top Gun.
To take everyone's breath away all over again, AMC Theatres across the country are holding special screenings of the fighter-pilot film, which made a generation want to imitate envelope-pushing jet jockeys Maverick and Iceman, this Saturday and Monday. But really, it's been hard to miss the gearhead favorite: In the past quarter century, it's been name-checked and referenced more than the Bible.
To mark this momentous occasion and hold over true fans until Jerry Bruckheimer decides to rake in a butt-load of cash with a sequel, here are some of the best Top Gun cultural references of the last 25 years. Grab your aviators and enjoy.
