What are your favorite Aviation based movies?
A couple of mine are Jimmy Stewart in the original Flight of the Phoenix.
Another, made more recently, is Tom Cruise in Made In America, if you haven't seen this its well worth a watch, lotta good flying in there.
Top Gun, of course, is on this list too. Motorcycles, Fighters, smoking HOT women, what more is there to life?
What are some of your favorites?

633 Squadron if you like the sound of twin Merlins on a Mosquito.

I do, but my favourite Mosquito film or video it this one:

... shot from the cockpit of a rebuilt/restored FB version. This more than
anything else I've seen gives a feeling of what it is like to fly. I
think that airframe is in America - possibly in the late Paul Allen's
collection.

I do have another aviation-related recommendation, though this one is
100% animation and more magical-realism than actual history:
"The Wind Rises" by Hayao Miyazaki.

There is a movie with William Shattner about the Lady be Good.

Does the dialog have pregnant pauses and does Shatner screw the Bedouin
girl?
