I want to stock up on some aviation themed videos. Would anyone want to
volunteer their top five aviation movies? Mine a

1. Top Gun.
2. Angels One 5.
3. Memphis Bell.
4. Air America.
5. The Blue Max.

Most aviation related movies have a war theme but there must be
interesting non military movies or documentaries with realistic flying
action.



Are there no good German ones ?
If they could make a superb submarine epic like 'Das Boot' they must have
had the potential to make some good aviation stuff.

Good point Jim. I am sure the German film makers of the era had the
capability and talent. Just that during the war any film had to be
propaganda and afterwards there was neither the money nor the inclination.
Now would be a good time but props (aircraft) are very scarce, so model
aircraft and CGI may be the only option.
