A Note To The Grandchildren
Without question, one of the best gift suggestions this holiday season for almost anyone with any interest in aviation, the military, great music, is the Blu-Ray Top Gun with special features. I bought it at Target, I think for $15.99. (More on pricing of DVDs at Target later, perhaps). But if you are fortunate to live near a Target store, I recommend Target over Amazon. And that doesn't happen often -- a recommendation of brick and mortar over Amazon. Right now, it looks like the Blu-Ray version over at Amazon is priced at $28.46, but there are so many versions, I may have them mixed up. And maybe I didn't pay $16 at Target, but I'm pretty cheap and I doubt I would have paid much more.
It's an incredible DVD. I assume everyone has seen the movie. I bought it for the "Blu-Ray" and the special features.
Some years ago when there was a debate between Blu-Ray and whatever was competing against it, I remember journaling that I knew Blu-Ray was going to win that battle, unlike Sony Betamax which lost a similar battle a decade earlier.
One of the advantages of Blu-Ray is the incredible amount of storage available. And the Top Gun Blu-Ray certainly took advantage of all that storage. I think the 6-part documentary on the making of Top Gun was about two hours long, and all original. That documentary alone was worth the price of the DVD.
And there must be six more hours of more material to go through; I don't know. This is the first time I've seen the Blu-Ray version and I will spend this next week viewing bits and pieces.
