The High and the Mighty
Maybe this thread could be called 'good aviation movies.' Had a lazy Sunday afternoon to myself for a change and pulled out this old classic John Wayne film based on an Earnest K. Gann novel. Got the remastered DVD on my last trip down South (home entertainment takes on new meaning when living in a place with no other options!).
Really enjoyed the movie anyway and thought I would fish for more suggestions on good aviation movies to add to one's collection. Some of the others in my collection include:
- The Right Stuff
- Apollo 13
- Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines
- Flight of the Intruder
The High and the Mighty had some good special features including a little section on flying in the 50's which makes for interesting comparison to the industry now... What it must have been like to live through the golden years of aviation....!
