Thought I'd throw this around, post your Favourite top 5.
This is a great way to find out about new movies or ones you have missed. Mine are : 1. The Battle of Britain 2. The Blue Max 3. Bat*21 (Awesome Flight Footage from the 02 Cessna) 4. Midway 5. Air America (Flight Scenes are pretty) |
i would ad Aces High and Flight of the Intruder.

Memphis Belle is in there for me. At times it gave a really good feel for bomber combat.

how i could forgett this ?! :D
to ad another one for the Bomber crews : Twelve O'Clock High and The Dambusters |
The Tuskegee Airman (1995) is one I forgot too. There are some GREAT combat scenes in there along with an important story. The fire scene is....well, you have to see it.

Battle of Britain
Dark blue world Flight of the Intruder Memphis Belle Tuskegee Airman |
oowh yeah I forgot about flight of the intruder, that IS a good film with great flight footage.
Here's one and I dread to mention this one but from what I remember it had good flight scenes...... Always |
Not a World War 2 film, but how about including Top Gun
|
I liked "Les Chevaliers du Ciel" (Sky Fighters) for super flight sceenes with Mirages... a bit a la Top Gun but a bit better... imho.

I still watch it when it is on though :). If we can expand it to a series, along with injecting a whole lot of Hollywood, I would put in Ba Ba Blacksheep (or Blacksheep Squadron). In defense of this totally historically inaccurate series/movie, the Corsair is a beautiful bird and they used a lot of WWII footage along with some restored American and Japanese aircraft. That series is what got me into WWII aircraft so even though it's not accurate, it has a special place in my heart. Splitter |
