Default Aviation Movies - your top 5?

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.


1. Dambusters.
2. Battle of Britain. Try watching the DVD with the original Walton
full score and it's just not the same!

3. Strategic Air Command. Just for the B-36s and B-47s and having lived
next to RAF Brize Norton, getting past the guards and playing there as a
kid in SAC days. I love the honest scripting about the crewman whining
about being called up and preferring to run his own business.

4. 1000 Plane Raid. Highlights are the B-17 buzzing the airfield, no
CGI in that clip and a wingtip not far from the runway. Funny bit is
the Spitfire pilot in the dodgy bubble canopy. Memories of watching it
in Brize base's cinema and a B-47 revving up its engines just outside
the place so everyone leaning forward to listen better!

5. For Those In Peril - and other smaller films with various aircraft
clips in, such as the Walrus in this film.
