[+hgbn 91]

I was able to find the Tomcats splashing the zeros in the movie:

Flight of the Intruder

Memphis Belle

I liked the first Airplane movie, Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack were classic!!! William Shatner annoyed the hell out of me in Part II

12 O'Clock High.

Well, he was supposed to.

 

"Sir, this device has lights blinking out of sequence."

"Well, get them to blink IN sequence and then report back to me!"

 

As for Top Gun, that scene basically was put there for the women watching the film. Tony Scott mentioned something like the guys were gonna go for the planes and drag their women along, so he gave them something to watch. Also, TG really is simply the 2nd biggest chick flick ever made (after Titanic) made up to look like an action film with its fighter scenes.

[+littlesmoke 64]

"The Arrow"

 

btw does "The Right Stuff" count as an Airplane movie?

 

also I just watched 007's Thunderball - the Avro Vulcan has a big part

[Syrinx 13]

Flight of the Intruder does it for me.

 

Battle of Britain.

 

633 Squadron...all teary eyed now. They all got shot down..."you can't kill a squadron" said Harry Andrews. Let me get the tissues.

 

Firefox wasn't bad. A bit far fetched but still not bad.

 

12 o'clock high is a classic.

 

I liked the Bridges at Toko-Ri, think that's right. I think they flew Panthers.

 

That's my 10p worth (about 20 cents) !

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

Why, Airplane! of course.

 

Airplane(or flying high)...? Surely you can't be serious??

 

Golly!

If you're gonna mention James Bond movies then at least do it right - start with "You Only Live Twice" ( "Little Nelly" FTW!!! ) , and end with "Tomorrow Never Dies" ( "L-39 Albatross" Action! ) . The Vulcan of "Thunderball" has no more significance (maybe even less) than the Antonov of "Die Another Day"...

 

As for plane movies, heck, there's Stealth, The Final Countdown, Top Gun, Tora Tora Tora, Battle of Britain, Firefox, and others that I haven't seen but would like to see...

Stealth! Lol just kidding.

 

I'd have to go with Top Gun in honor of our fallen comrades, the Tomcats.

[Russkie Raider 0]

Sky Pilots cause the acting was so bad. :P

[Longestpants 1]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned "30 Seconds Over Tokyo". That was one of the best! :yes:

[Spinners 15,985]

The Dambusters.

[PIGHUNTA69 0]

"The Arrow"

Oh yeah, i don't know how i forgot about The Right Stuff. That movie was really good.

[TheChief2000 0]

A few weeks ago the Military Channel showed a movie called "The War Lover." It starred Steve McQueen as a B-17 pilot. I thought it was pretty good.

 

Gotta love "Midway."

 

There aren't actually all that many airplanes in it, but I like the P-51s attacking the Japanese airfield in "Empire of the Sun."

Firefox

The Right Stuff (it counts)

Memphis Bell

Tuskegee Airmen

Flight of the Intruder

Topgun (just for childhood nostalgia sake)

 

 

Does Airplane count?

[Syrinx 13]

The Dambusters.

 

Of course ! A true classic. This one should reside in any self respecting aircraft enthusiasts DVD collection.

[gumpy 7]

Flying LeatherNecks,Flying Tigers.Both with the Duke!

[ironroad 218]

"Eh baby, gimmie a side of dat proter.."

"What?"

"It's ok miss I speak Jive."

 

Humm...ok

 

I won't bring documentaries into this...so I will stick with Hollywood.

 

Top Gun not because the terminology was real, the squadrons (VA-25 Flying F-14s!), but because the flight scenes were all original and done specifically for that movie.

 

Flight of the Intruder

 

The Final Countdown (if you want to see the golden Age of Naval aviation you got it)

 

Airplane

 

The Memphis Belle (although B-24s are better!!!)

 

The Battle of Britain

 

The Tuskegee Airmen

 

*13 Days gets and honorable mention for the RF-8 scene.

[WarlordATF 1]

Everyone hated Iron Eagle, But anyone alive when it came out will tell you it was the publics first good look at the F-16. It made it an overnight household name much like Topgun and Flight of the Intruder did for the Tomcat and A-6. It had some good footage of the early Viper and yes it was 90% fiction,but that 10% made you watch the rest of the crap.

 

I Hated Part 2, Phantoms as Migs?? The great pilot of part 1 is killed in the first few minutes.Lame. But i watched it to see the Aircraft.

 

Good Movies for me were...

 

Tora Tora Tora, You an tell those stunt pilots enjoyed there work.

 

The Right Stuff, The Ultimate Test Pilot Story.

 

Blue Max-Best WW1 Movie made So Far.

 

Flight of the Intruder, Great Story and Shots of the Aircraft.

 

Blue Thunder, Loved that chopper,Twisted Story.

 

Iron Eagles(all),Top Gun,Firebirds,Flyboys, for the aircraft,fast forward alot.
