Summary

Top Gun: Maverick deserves Best Picture. That's the fiery take from a subway rider who remembers walking out of the theater ready to fight someone because "movies are back." The moviegoing experience hit different. Popcorn in hand, feeling transported to the '90s again, this wasn't some film you leave thinking "I don't know." Zero hesitation. The passion runs so deep that if another theater next door had been playing it again, they would've walked straight in for round two. Kareem captures that rare moment when someone's so convinced by their opinion that every word lands with total certainty.

So what's your take? The best picture should have been Top Gun. This is very specific.

Can you tell me when you went to Top Gun and that in screen? Sorry, can I swear? Came down and you had popcorn in your hand.

That was a movie experience. I felt like we were in the '90s again. I would have fought someone after.

Like, movies are back. This is a real movie. Top Gun Maverick.

You know when you leave a movie, you're like, "Oh, I don't know. I didn't..." There was no. I don't know.

I walked out. I would have. If there was another movie theater adjacent to it showing Top Gun again, I would have walked right into it.
