Top Gun Movie House & our Oceanside Christmas fun

[@pamelaattrux336]

Cool you guys do the greatest things together so interesting thanks so much to see and do

[@jerrysullivan8424]

Thank you for sharing it Oceanside looks nothing like it did when I was a young Marine station there back in 1975, I took my whole family there in 2000 it had changed so much that I did not know it. Semper Fi to all of the Marines who are watching this. I am sure that they will enjoy it also.

[@festerhairball6588]

It brought back to the fall of 1990 while stationed at camp Pendelton for a short while. I too loved this episode..... Semper Fi devil dog 👍

[@joecervantes4637]

This is my favorite channel to watch on early mornings.

[@jbenziggy]

Awesome! Thanks! That’s a true compliment that we value!

when I was in boot camp in San Diego my company commander told me a section of the road we were marching on was used in the chase scene when cruise chased Kelly Mcgillis in the movie

Good for all 3 of you. Excellent report 🙂

[@martindriver6026]

Nice fun video. The music even got the attention of my cat.😄

[@jared1870]

What a fun Christmas. So good to see Sarah again (wait, is this a History Hunter episdoe?) I agree that it was a shame that they moved the Top Gun house and it does look out of place surrounded by a hotel, but it sounds like the alternative was complete demolition so I guess the better alternative is to survive in a different location. Thanks for the great video.

[@stargater2892]

Enjoyed this epi. Nice to see something positive and fun.

[@pamelakern2849]

I really enjoyed this video!! Thankyou for sharing your Christmas with us . Beautiful Beautiful California 🥰🥰

Nice catch with the Seagull at the ending shot. It looked very professional. Good job.

Home sweet home I moved from there to the east coast after 28 years they were the best years of my life 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

California's best days are over, I think at times. The state is beautiful but is being wrecked by state leadership. It's sad to watch.

[@LadiCady]

Thanks for sharing this video. I moved from the So. California coast 3 years ago and really miss the ocean. Love History Hunters. Always look forward to new videos.

Glad you enjoyed it, Carol! You must be too far away now to drive to it?

Thank goodness the Top Gun cottage was moved rather than demolished! It will make a perfect ice cream parlor.

[@Donnasuemcguire]

I was blessed to live in Oceanside in 2009-2011. That was the best time and I love Oceanside so much! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place. I moved to Bonsall, Then Fallbrook and Ramona. There is so many historical things to learn in this area. Your son Loves it there and I’ve never seen him happier in all the other places he has been on history hunters. I love that you guys get to experience San Diego! La Jolla is so cool for wildlife. One of my favorite places to go.

[@jamesminear2336]

I love the ocean... never been to Oceanside but just about anywhere on the California coast beautiful! Interesting Christmas!!👍👍

Thank you very much for watching, James. Much appreciated. You’ll have to check out Oceanside one day.

[@DALEf4u]

I had an aunt and uncle that lived in San Marcos for many years off of the 78. Passed by Oceanside many times and never knew any history there other than there’s a lot of Marines from Camp Pendleton in the area. It was a wet and cold Christmas here and glad you got to spend it with you son.

[@oldermusiclover]

I too had and aunt and uncle who lived there grew up in Ramona up the hill from there

[@mikejautosandstuff3349]

[@jackthoreson3009]

Sorry I missed you guys. I live in Oceanside, and was around the peir about the same time you were. The harbor is a special place for me, as my dad built that light house., and worked on the village as well. He passed away in 1978. When I was 4 years old, he took me up to the balcony before it was opened to the public. Speciall memories. Thanks for nor bringing up a certain tv show that is filmed here, as I think it brings a worse image to our community. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Happy New Year.

[@jbenziggy]

Oh wow! Small world! We really liked it there and are already talking about going back. And as far as the TV show that we didn’t mention, I’m not sure that I’m aware of it. Lol

[@janetceniza8091]

The Pelican probably wanted either a dollar or a fish for Sarah to pet him. Nice way to celebrate a few days. I am in Everett, Wash. and we were buried in snow while you were basking in sun. Some folks have it all. Fun time together.

[@jbenziggy]

Snow is nice too is you’re warm inside with hot coffee or hot chocolate!

[@debsmith1956]

Looks like gin I will take your white Christmas more than mine. It 22 degrees today. Thank you again. Happy 87th Birthday Elvis..

[@edwinsalau150]

Brought back many, many memories. When first I saw Oceanside ,California it was in 1960. The last time was in 1968. The first real Mexican food I ever had was in Oceanside ,California. The first cruise liner I was on. We started our journey up the road at camp Pendleton. There were 34 Total Pacific cruises. Oceanside did not look the same as it does today. If the bus terminals could talk! If the restaurants and taverns could bring back those that passed through!I remember many; sadly!

[@davepalmerton2429]

10 inches of snow here, so the ocean looks pretty good.

[@jbenziggy]

Yikes! Where do you guys live to have snow? (I always like to hear where our viewers are from). Thanks very much for watching and giving us your feedback!

My mom rented a garage-turned-studio apt in La Jolla. We spent the summer there and swam at the childrens pool and shores often. Spent teen years surfing Black’s and in Oceanside. Great episode. The sea wall is looking a little rough these days.

[@jbenziggy]

Yeah the ocean will destroy manmade things and the shoreline given enough time. I understand that there is a battle between the seals and humans using that beach. But what human in his right mind would use the beach this time of year? LOL

[@Corgis175]

Great Christmas location. Oceanside also has a mission.

[@johnshaft5613]

Great video guys! Like you, I too am fascinated by movie filming sites, but it's really unfortunate they had to move it. The location is a good part of the appeal, and the film house, moved a half mile away, restored, and turned into and ice cream parlor takes away a huge percentage of the interest. I guess it is better than having it destroyed, but only a little bit better. "Top Gun" was a strange movie. When it came out I was 24, and I thought it was one of the coolest films ever made. Now when I see clips from it, I absolutely cringe. So hokey. I guess that goes with growing older.

[@Idahoguy10157]

Lived in San Diego and Escondido for ten years. Oceanside being next to Camp Pendleton the bars used to be a rough place to go if you weren’t a Marine

[@thesolidsnakealpha]

What a beautiful restoration of an iconic movie house. I agree with you though, Jeff..its a shame it had to be relocated. Top Gun is one of my favourite films and I'm over the moon you visited Oceanside. God bless you Jeff, happy new year🙏
