Do you like flying movies?
Cloud Dancer
The Great Waldo Pepper
Those Magnificent Men and their flying Machines
The Great Santini (not much flying)
The Blue Max
The Bridges of Toko Ri
The McConnell Story
Airforce
Captains of the Clouds
Devil Dogs of the Air
The High and the Mighty
Island in the Sky
Tuskegee Airmen
War Lover
Red Flag: The Ultimate Game
How about these all time favs:
1. The Right Stuff
2. Strategic Air Command
3. Memphis Belle
4. Empire of the Sun (GREAT P-51 scenes towards the end)
5. Airport (the plausible one)
6. Airport __ (fill in the blank - less plausible to pure fantasy. BTS how does Joe Patroni go from being a lead TWA mechanic in the first Airport movie to flying the Concorde in the last edition? ) I digress...
7. Flight of the Phoenix (the original)
8. Spirit of St. Louis
And if you like space movies, check out:
1. Apollo 13
2. From the Earth to the Moon (fantastic HBO series)
3. Marooned
Check 'em out.
