macelena 1,070 Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Following the thread on Star Trek vs Star Wars, i thought of making a poll on this. There are a lot of films missing, but i guess that this random sample is good for getting an idea. If you prefer others, please let us know I would say that Flight of the Intruder and Battle for Britain get my votes. I´m sorry, 633 Squadron missing. Nobody is perfect Edited February 2, 2009 by macelena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+allenjb42 4,236 Posted February 2, 2009 Top Gun and BoB. But I love them all! Except Skyfighters, which I had to Google. Looks good but is it available on Region 2 DVD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also missed Behind the enemy lines. Not my day, just failed "Law Foolosophy" again. About BoB, i think that it´s the best aircraft film ever. It is not only about the planes, but also about how do pilots live, their fears and what motivates them to fight. Compare it with some other stuff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted February 2, 2009 Iron Eagle was for my like some kids have writen it... Topgun a great hollywood movie, Skyfighters has one of the best jetscenes in a movie. Intruder... I was addicted to this movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin_Hans 6 Posted February 2, 2009 I really love Mirage 2000s in Skyfighters. They are so beautiful. And,there a Russian film called Mirror wars is also good stuff for Russian Fighter fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremiah Weed 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Dr. Strangelove by far. I'd be down for some nuclear combat with Slim Pickens any day. "Well, boys, I reckon this is it — nuclear combat toe to toe with the Rooskies. Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something dog gone important is goin' on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin.' Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now let's get this thing on the hump — we got some flyin' to do." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted February 2, 2009 What about Starfighters, a horrid piece of dreck featuring no less than 45 mins of F-104s refueling? My pick was Memphis Belle, but I think Tora Tora Tora should've been in the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
column5 63 Posted February 2, 2009 Strategic Air Command should be on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viggen 644 Posted February 2, 2009 BOB, Dr. Stranglove, Strategic Air Command, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and 12 O'Clock High! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted February 2, 2009 BOB, Dr. Stranglove, Strategic Air Command, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and 12 O'Clock High! Yep. All of them should have appeared. But i´m sorry, forgot them. At least, i didn´t put Pearl Harbor in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted February 3, 2009 PH has some great battle scenes. It's worth watching about 45 mins of the film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stary 2,427 Posted February 3, 2009 PH? Pearl Harbor, limited only to flight sequences is ok. Also missing on the list are Dark Blue World and Behind Enemy Lines, quite a decent movies. But my vote goes to Bob and Flight of the Intruder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kct 5 Posted February 3, 2009 Air Force One was awesome for reasons other than planes though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bwild 5 Posted February 3, 2009 There should be a combined class for The final countdown, the Nimitz in WW2. The plot isn't the best around, but the planes more than make up for that. Tomcats, Intruders, Corsairs and a Crusader in high viz schemes, what more could you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kct 5 Posted February 3, 2009 And the actors having a good time? That is what making an enjoyable film should be about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted February 3, 2009 I would say that Flight of the Intruder and Battle for Britain get my votes. I´m sorry, 633 Squadron missing. Nobody is perfect Where's 633 Squadron, Dambusters, Mosquito Squadron... sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) I gotta say, sorry for the lots of film missing (i just got blank when i came to make the poll) and any mental retard or lag i may be showing in my posting. Next time i make this things,i will do it properly @ kct. the kind of films i think you mean should be discussed in the "Alotta Breast Thread" old C5 forum @ PACMAN. Mosquito is not , IMHO, more than a sequel to 633. I know there are films that i should have added, but i didn´t want to give too many options and i forgot some of the best, sorry again @ CA_stary, i just googled Dark Blue World. I remember it, and it was worthy. In fact, the "Repeat, please" scene is, together with "takatakata" the very best of BoB Edited February 3, 2009 by macelena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gr.Viper 131 Posted February 3, 2009 Aces High is missing from WWI films... Not that I'd vote for it (even though its flying scenes were re-used in Blackadder 4), but still. Count my voice for the Blue Max. Won't vote for post WW2 movies 'cause I haven't see half of them and don't remember the other half. Anyway I find documentaries a bit more facinating :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlielima 328 Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Bridges over To Ko Ri? Back in the 70s there was a movie about 2 SPAD drivers, one pilot was a black gentleman, in the Korean War where they had to shut down a tunnel with iron bombs. I wish I could find that one. :ph34r: CL Edited February 3, 2009 by charlielima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could have asked him, but now he is like when i told him "you know, granda & dad, i know we´ve been navy since Salamina, but i´m going air force" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+allenjb42 4,236 Posted February 4, 2009 By Dawn's Early Light was a great film. It was based on the book Trinity's Child by William Prochnau. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity's_Child I read it when it came out in 1983 and it scared the cr*p out of me!

+Brain32 265 Posted February 7, 2009 Just watching it now, paused to drink something and calm down the tension lol Thx for mentioning it, I watched it on VHS like 15 years ago so I can't remember a thing, like watching a new movie and it's great... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
