I'm sure this has been done somewhere and sometime, but I thought I'd give it a shot...
What is your favorite airplane movie?
Mine are:
The Bridges at Toko-Ri
12 O'Clock High
Airplane!
Honorable Mention goes to:
Apocalypse Now
Blackhawk Down
Flight of the Intruder
BTW, the Internet Movie Database lists a 'Movie' called "Uncrating and Assembly of the P-47 Thunderbolt Airplane" I would love to get ahold of that one!

You forgot 'Battle of Britain'
I voted for Airplane as the entire movie is based on one. The next movie id pick would be The Bridges at Toko-Ri. I like the flight scenes in 13 Days and Tears of the Sun, they're quite impressive

Yes, those F-18 clips gave me chills! The words going through my mind when the loads were dropped were: "Behold airpower!"

Mine by far is 12 O'Clock High. I don't know why but I think one reason is the cast is great-especially Gregory Peck.

Some others are that get honorable mention:
Empire of the Sun
Bat 21
Memphis Belle
Anything Spielberg touches is gold, but I consider 'Empire of the Sun' one of his best works. Especially with that P-51 fly-by.
Bat 21 has some fantastic footage, and Gene Hackman is practically a god...

Some of the flight sequences in Pearl Harbour were ok, but most of the story line was rubbish imo

Why Airplane of course! But I love the P-40 flying sequences in 1941, and where oh where is TopGun?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Rex Kramer: "Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes."
Ted Striker: "Surely you can't be serious. "
Rumack: "Yes I am serious...and don't call me Shirley. "
Rumack: "You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital. "
Elaine Dickinson: "A hospital? What is it?"
Rumack: It's a big building with a lot of sick people, but that's not important right now. "

Like Ozzy said, wheres Top Gun?
If someone with multiple personality disorder threatens suicide, is it a hostage situation?
