What's your favorite Aviation Movie?

:)

I'm conducting a little informal poll here to see what are the favorite "Flying" movies of the membership. It can be either a film whose central plot revolves around flying or one with a Memorable flying sequence.

Personally pne of my top faves has to be "Those Magnifecent Men in their flying machines." with all those great pioneering aircraft and a dialouge sequence that sums up the feeling of myself and others. In it Robert Morely as Lord Rawston is talking to his future son in law Richard:

Richard: " The problem is finding the time for married life Sir.."
Rawlston: "What do you mean?"
Richard "Well, I'm soldiering all day and I'm pretty busy in the evenings too. Monday I dine in, Tuesdays card night at Whites, Wedsday I play snooker with the Adjudent, Thursday, err, well we like to end up at Romano's, that only leaves Friday."
Rawston: "Yes, but what about the wekend?"
Richard: "That's flying Sir, It's the only time I've got..."

In the eyes of a clown like myself, " Those Magnificent Men " is a fine movie to pass a couple of hours, but in the interest of fine flying sequences, Bruno Stachel does an admirable job of early " wind in the wires" piloting in The Blue Max .................

The original Airport. I believe it was just called "Airport".

George Kennedy and his love for the old 707 was great.

And I seem to remember it was "technically accurate" with some great outdoor scenes.
