Best Aviation Movie of All Time?
« on: January 20, 2011, 05:05:46 PM »
Wanna see what everyone's favorite aviation movies are?   Me personally Top Gun. Little lovey-dubby for me, but can't beat the fighter jets. Any recommendations for me would be great too!

The original Hot Shots is an excellent parody of Top Gun and other hokey Hollywood aviation movies.   :aok

"Strategic Air Command," with Jimmy Stewart, not Rock Hudson.  Good, accurate aviation sequences due to Mr. Stewart's real life flying experience.

"Battle of Britain" is also an oldie, but goodie.

Too many good ones to pick just one.
