Top 5 Aviation Movies

[Reggie Mental]

The Great Waldo Pepper.

Probably the best film about aviation pioneers and superbly and sympathetically acted.

The Aviator

Howard Hughes made air travel comfortable and affordable. He also designed and flew some great aeroplanes, but pork barrel politics and nepotism saw his designs sidelined.

By Dawn's Early Light.

A B52 bomber crew decide not to carry out their assigned mission and turn off a first strike nuclear war before it turns into an all-out exchange. Flawed by the 2 main leads Powers Boothe and Rebecca DeMornay, who were simply...Wooden.

A few more in no particular prefence,

Strategic Air Command
Always
Catch 22 (especially when Milo bombs his own base, because 'it's good for business')
Dr Strangelove
