Top Gun still exists in the minds of everyone who has seen it. It is an idea as well as a performance. And you don't need to consume any particular encoding of the performance to continue to either enjoy or hate it. Art is weird like that.

Top Gun won't exist, just people's memories of Top Gun.

And memory is fallible. It changes over time. People will all remember the movie differently.

The memory of Top Gun != Top Gun.
