Cinematic Crowns 2 Must-See Films for Classic Movie Day If you’re looking for something to do on the third Friday of May, it’s the perfect time to sit back and enjoy the magic of cinema. May 16 is National Classic Movie Day. Depending on your age and taste in films, an old classic movie could be either “Casablanca” or “Cars.” But for me, someone who grew up in the 1980s, two movies immediately stand out as true American classics that never get old and are worth checking out — In high school, I was fascinated by the world of aviation and even considered becoming a pilot. Naturally, I loved “Top Gun” when I saw it in 1986. Tom Cruise’s Maverick was the perfect character for the teenage boys in the audience — cocky, confident, and ready for high-stakes adventures. The competition and eventual friendship between Maverick and his nemesis, Iceman (played by Val Kilmer), is still riveting. Of course, you can’t go wrong with the movie soundtrack, as Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” was one of that summer's big songs. With its PG rating, “Top Gun” is a family-friendly film that still holds up — just remember that the death of one of the movie’s main characters during its second half may be too much for some younger viewers to handle. ‘Phone Home’ for Family Fun Family entertainment has taken many forms over the years, but 1982’s “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” is still the gold standard for child-friendly film fare with heart. I’ll never forget seeing it in the theater as a child and being amazed by the storyline and visuals. Audiences worldwide genuinely sympathized with the stranded alien — aka E.T. — as he befriended a human family and attempted to “phone home” to his planet and be rescued. Although a few potential moments in the film may be upsetting for little ones — mainly when it appears that E.T. may have passed away just before the film’s climactic conclusion — there’s plenty of wholesome fun to be had. Oh, and at the risk of spoiling a 43-year-old movie, everything works out fine for our little brown friend in the end. whether for the first time or the 50th. An Amazing Airborne Adventure
