CowboyTodd41 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Well everyone, it's blockbuster season once again and I think it's time we have a thread about everyone's favorite aviation films, good or bad or Iron Eagle III. So go ahead and post your favorites, I'll start! The Hunters - 1958 Great aerial action scenes of MiG Alley with real F-86's and F-84's posing as MiG-15's. The love story is pretty ham fisted, but that's what fast forward is for. Also Robert Wagner as beat generation lingo spouting fighter pilot always cracks me up. "Coo, coo dadio!" Trailer via YouTube
firehawkordy Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Not too much aviation but Dr. Strangelove. Slim Pickens riding that H-bomb at the end, classic! Edited May 13, 2011 by firehawkordy
Spinners Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 The Dambusters - wonderful stuff! Must watch it to commemorate the 68th anniversary this month. Après moi le Deluge.
Slartibartfast Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Must admit on Sunday to recover from Saturday I watched :- Battle of Britain The Blue Max Flight of the Intruder The Great Escape (Okay only a little flying but hey)...
+JediMaster Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 The Final Countdown...Tomcats splashing Zeros FTW!
Capitaine Vengeur Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Memphis Belle and Tora Tora Tora. And Michael Bay's Pearl Harbour, of course. No, just joking.
+daddyairplanes Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 what no Hot Shots? that movie is winning! seriously though if we're including DVD sets gotta find me a copy of old Baa Baa Black Sheep. Otherwise I'll agree with Memphis Belle and maybe By Dawns Early Light.
