I hate both of these movies

Tom Cruise the charmer, or Tom Cruise the macho man? Hmmmm...

I hate both of these movies, but since Cameron Crowe is a giant D-bag I choose Top Gun.

I gotta go with Top Gun here. If for no other reason than the Danger Zone motorcycle scene with a fist pump.

"Top Gun" remains the quintessential 80s movie to me. The rock soundtrack, the Reagan-era patriotism, the celebration of machismo...I just never thought the end of the movie ever really worked. It's too weak. "Jerry Maguire" takes entirely too long to get to its resolution, but it's still pretty enjoyable.

Show me the money. It had me at hello.

Eeeeewww. These are both on the same level of crap, but I'm not sure which is worse. It's been awhile since I watched Top Gun, so I don't remember much about it. Eh...I'll pick Jerry Maguire, but I don't think either one is above the other.

I feel the need...the need for speed!

Both really good films with a great lead performance from Tom Cruise. I'm gonna go with Jerry Maguire.

I enjoyed Top Gun ok, but it failed to live up to expectations. I thought Jerry had more heart and so it wins.
