Must have aviation movies

I guess the problem was that knowbody knows who Pepper is or was.
German people want to know what a movie is about from the title.
That's why they had to put in "Flieger"

I orderd it today under the title "Die tollkühnen Flieger".
Now that`s funny. Three different titles. One US and two German for one
movie.....

Anybody knows that movie with Robert redford about this Barnstorming
Period
before and after WWI?

I only know the German title "Die tollkühnen männer in Ihren fliegenden
Kisten"

"The daring men in their flying crates" is too close to the title of a
completely different movie. What was wrong with "Der Große Waldo Pfeffer"
anyway?

I didn't have the faintest idea who Waldo Pepper was, either. I went
to the film because it starred Robert Redford and some neat old
planes.

Isn't "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" is it?

I think you'r conflating two films. That would be Those Wonderful Men
in Their Flying Machines, second-rate at best.

The Robert Redford film would be The Great Waldo Pepper. Not bad!

The best thing about the not-yet-listed "Battle of Britain" is knowing that
they shot some of the scenes with models upside down, so that you couldn't
see them hanging from wires. Of course, it's easy to see the wires hanging
*down* from the bottoms of the planes.

Might also mention "The Spirit of St. Louis"

Almost every movie that somebody suggests will be panned by somebody else
because of 'inaccuracies.' Here is a list of all the movies that contain no
inaccuracies:

What are some "must have" movies that have an aviation theme in them? I
want to get a collection together and I was wanting some input from the
group.

Believe it or not, this thread has already been done to death. A few times.
