Why not f-35 in top gun?
The jet is actually used in a higher altitude role, and it plays a part in working with unmanned systems too. The F-35 would take out air defenses at range, so the SAM sites we see in the film would likely get obliterated first by the F-35, before the Hornet's then came in to attack the main target.

Why is f-14 so loved?
The F-14 had the capability of destroying ANY opposing aircraft ANY where in the world. No other Cold War aircraft had the single mission capability to send two nuggets on a “standard” mission from the CV and trap two Aces a few hours later. The AIM-54 and the AWG-9 enabled incredible combat capability.
