Under Siege v Top Gun

[Tooting Gull]

If you had to pick one of these two big-budget militaristic cheesefests to watch one more time, which would it be?

I always thought Top Gun was clear at the top of the genre, but having just watched 'Siege' again the other night, I'm not so sure. Possible categories for consideration include plot, villains, heros, sidekicks, effects, totty, best lines and acting (if detected).

can i have a really big satisfying dump instead?

 

[Icy Gull]

Any film with Steven Seagal in is gonna be the loser. He is almost as wooden as Jean Claude Van Damme.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Under Siege by a mile. How is this even regarded as contest?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its Top Gun for me.

 

[keaton]

I choose Red Dawn

 

[Easy 10]

Top Gun, by a MILE.

"You don't own that plane, the taxpayers do. Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash."

 

[Simster]

Top Gun.

With every scene featuring Cruise and McGillis strategically shot not to make him look about as tall as a 10 y/o schoolboy.

Absolutely wank film, mind.

 

[sten_super]

Under Seige for me.

 

[Marshy]

One for Under Seige here

 

[Chester Drawers]

Under siege ... especially when Geena Lee Nolan steps out of the cake....

[Tooting Gull]

Under siege ... especially when Geena Lee Nolan steps out of the cake....

Erika Eleniak, surely...

 

[Dr Q]

Top Gun, but Erika does add a certain something to Under Seige!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Under Siege for me.

Steven Seagul is a 6ft 4, 7th dan black belt in Aikido and can actually fight.

Tom Cruise is a pissant, mouthy dwarf.


Also Erika Eleniak got her tits out for Under Siege which is better than anything Kelly McGillis put out.

 

[Chester Drawers]

Erika Eleniak, surely...

Just making sure everyone is awake

 

[Giraffe]

Top Gun, as good as Under Siege is, Top Gun is better.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Top Gun, by a MILE.

"You don't own that plane, the taxpayers do. Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash."

The most homo-erotic movie of all TIME.

That may have been mentioned previously

 

[Tooting Gull]

I see someone has decided to make this a poll rather than a discussion. Any other moderator meddling expected? Change the films, perhaps?

 

[Marc]

Top Gun, purely for the FACT it gave birth to the all time greatest spoof film Hot Shots!
