Hey I just watched Fly boys, UGH, so, what are the top 5 Aviation films of all time?
What are the top five aviation movies? My criteria; the aircraft used are (look) believable for the time period of the movie. The flight scenes look real, the movie has a decent story line. oh, and a lack of crappy plot lines, that lend nothing to the movie, and distract from the most important parts i. e. cool air-to-air shots of the aircraft! Here are my top five; 1. Rudy, has nothing to do with flying, and everything to do with Notre Dame 2. Flying Leathernecks, great actual combat footage, decent story, F6F hellcat and F4U corsair air-to-air footage (oh and MARINE pilots! Semper Fi!) 3. Memphis Belle,B-17's, P-51's, Me-109, Combat footage, excellent Aerial footage,decent story, ok acting. 4. Battle of Britian, forget the story and acting, Spitfires! Hurricanes!, He-111's, Me-109' s(although the German A/C were actually Spanish) 5. The Blue Max, George Peppard at his most evil, GREAT air to air action, with actual period replicas! Did I mention Rudy

The Blue Max The great Waldo Pepper State of Division. Remember the Nazi tank chasing the Warhawk across the African desert. Birds of Prey, The movie with the radio helicopter guy chasing the bank robbers in their own helicopter? And ofcourse, Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines

by far the two most realistic air combat movies made were: "tora tora tora" and "battle of britain". "633 squadron" is also right up there. unfortunately, can't think of any good ones that involve modern aircraft. (top gun's ok, but too mushy)

1. 12 O'Clock High 2. Strategic Air Command 3. Gathering of Eagles 4. Top Gun 5. Afterburn Ret. USAF SNCO

I have to say The Aviator is up there... about Howard Hughes... and Hell's Angels, Howard Hughes' movie... Dont leave out Airplane, while not realistic, its comedy makes up for it...
