Airplane! It's also, imo, the best parody movie of all time. Leslie Nielsen is brilliant.

I've heard of Airplane!, but I've never watched it; I've never heard of either Twelve O'Clock High or Chain Lightning though.Airplane! It's also, imo, the best parody movie of all time. Leslie Nielsen is brilliant.
I saw this the other night. Pretty strange.
Chain Lightening with Humphrey Bogart
Based on your posts, I would suggest Chain Lightning or Twelve O’clock High from the latest posts. Nothing against the poster who mentioned Airplane but I don’t think it would be your preferred choice.I've heard of Airplane!, but I've never watched it; I've never heard of either Twelve O'Clock High or Chain Lightning though.
Thanks! You're right, I probably wouldn't enjoy Airplane!, as the humour wouldn't really be to my taste.Based on your posts, I would suggest Chain Lightning or Twelve O’clock High from the latest posts.

I've certainly heard of The Aviator, but I haven't watched it yet. I may very well watch it soon though!The Aviator (2004) is about a famous 1920s movie magnate named Howard Hughes, who had a tortured past who flew planes as well, and tried building the biggest plane at the time.
I highly recommend it. Watched it earlier this year.I've certainly heard of The Aviator, but I haven't watched it yet. I may very well watch it soon though!
I tried looking up "Top Dog", but although I found a number of films by that name, I couldn't find any that were aviation-related, so that may not have been the name. What else might the title have been?This was an awesome aviation war film. Thats the main star of it. An ace fighter pilot too! Cant remember the name of the film though, might have been something like 'Top Dog'

Thanks, I'll try that!Maybe, "On a wing and a woof"
I'll try searching for that video soon.Just found a great video on YouTube titled "Top 10 Aerial Combat Films" by Smashing UK Productions
Thanks! I've watched Pearl Harbor once, years ago, but I've never watched any of the other films you mentioned. If I wanted to find them, where would be the best place to look?Midway ... Dauntless Dive Bombers and Avenger Torpedo bombers, Japanese Zeros (or look alikes)
The Bridges at Toko-Ri ... Korea, F-86 Sabres and Mig-15s
Pearl Harbor or At Dawn We Slept ... Mostly Zeros and torpedo bombers.
Midway (Charlton Heston) may be on Netflix or you can buy from Amazon. The Pearl Harbor movie is titled, Tora, Tora, Tora. Sorry, I forgot that. Great movie though. Also Netflix or Amazon. At Dawn We Slept I listed as a movie, it's actually a book about Pearl Harbor. A good, detailed book if you're a reader.Thanks!

I've never watched Tora, Tora, Tora; there's another movie about Pearl Harbor which is called Pearl Harbor, and which I have watched:Midway (Charlton Heston) may be on Netflix or you can buy from Amazon.
