Yea, above movies have nothing to do with aviation, just good olé non-PC movies they couldn’t even make in today’s environment.

Aviation related:

-Twelve o’clock High
-Strategic Air Command
-The High and the Mighty
-Airport ‘75 (UPS actually owned that 747 before it was mothballed)

Anyone remember “Those magnificent men in their flying machines?” Used to watch that movie all the time when I was a kid.

Flyboys is one of my favorites that I think is very underrated. Although, I kinda like some romantic movies every now and then. Same with Pearl Harbor.
