Default The Worst Aviation Movie of All Time

If your crowd doesn't care about plot and just wants good flying
sequences, have you looked into the "Rolling in the Sky" series?


Ya know, it's a funny thing about "Movie Night". I tried showing some
of those niche videos (Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, SR-71, Thunderbolt
training films, etc.), and they were met with mild interest but also
an air of disappointment. I even tried showing them as part of a
double feature, but the Kiwi flight simulator has proven to be WAY too
popular.

When we show a Hollywood aviation film -- even a BAD one -- the crowd
seems more content. (And when I say "crowd" I mean anywhere from 8 to
40 people -- we're not talking a seething mass of humanity here.)
Those documentary-type videos are just not well received, for some
reason. (I really like them!)
