Aviation Movies?

Any movie suggestions that might entain the fly-in crowd would be
great. I know the choice of aviation movies is limited and I don't
think we want to show Top Gun or Independance Day, again...

I really was really entertained (in an MST3000 kind of way) by Flight
Command (1940).

(same link as above ....wait for it)

I liked Flight Command because it was so bad - the acting, the lines, the
blocking, the characters, the plot. However, the flying scenes and hangar
scenes were very, very fun. Sometimes at functions like yours 'talk back to
the screen' movies are a hoot. This would be a great movie for that!!


For an older audience 10 and up...

Empire of the Sun (1987)

If I could present only three Spielberg movies for a film class to study,
this would be one of them. All of Spielberg's strengths ...and *other*
Spielberg traits, are seen in this film. It's Spielberg at his most
Spielbergishness. Good ...and bad (which is still pretty good :-)
