After two-plus pandemic years of empty movie theaters, Top Gun: Maverick is proving that blockbusters are officially back. Its only been out for a month, but its already one of the biggest movies of the year, grossing more than $400 million at the box office so far. In fact, the only movie thats come out in these pandemic times thats made more money is Spider-Man: No Way Home.

But there are people who liked Top Gun and there are people who freaking loved it. You know who the latter are. They walk into a room humming the anthem from the original soundtrack. Theyve told you (more than once) that Tom Cruise doesnt use a stunt double. If you were to pull up their Google search history, it would include terms like how much is a F-18 and Miles Teller workout.

Alas, we cant all be Maverick. But you can still make the Top Gun fan in your life feel pretty fly. How? Head to Target and surprise them with one of these gifts.

The original movie
If your "Top Gun" fan leans old school, theres a good chance they have a DVD player hidden in their closet (if its not already hooked up.) With this copy of the original 1986 movie, they can get their fix until Maverick is released on DVD in August.

Ok, so Halloween is still months away, but its a good idea to secure this baby early because the "flight suit" version of this costume has already sold out. And hey, if you want to bust it out before then, well, go for it.
