It's bad form to follow up one's own post, but I thought I would
mention that the first film (Airport) ends with a PAR approach. It
might be worth it to rent and fast-forward just to see that. I've
practiced one in my life with a very bored controller at Travis AFB,
if I remember correctly, but it went like the movie, except the
controller gave me relative turns (left 5 degree, right 5 degrees)
not bearings (left to 285) like in the movie.

I've never figured out why the pilots ask for a PAR approach in that
movie.

Because you're an idiot, that's why.
