Best plane movies?
Recently, I've seen the Air Force One documentary by national geographic. That, of course, made me think: "hmm... I remember there was a Harrison Ford movie about that plane", and so I watched Air Force One, the movie from 1997.
I liked it but then there are many plane movies out there that may be better. The question is, which ones. Let's find out. List your favorite plane movies. Here are my favorites: 1. Air Force One 2. Top gun 3. Stealth 4. Aviator 5. Tora! Tora! Tora! |

I work in an airport, so I have a natural aversion towards them, but there is 1 airplane movie I like:
Airplane! |
Die Hard 2
Flight Airplane Top Gun United 93 |
Re: Best plane movies?
Maybe not the best plane movie but has the best title:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...OAP_poster.jpg But speaking seriously, Best movies with planes are Dr. Strangelove (a large fraction of the movie occurs inside a plane): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ove1sheet-.jpg And all Miyazaki's animated masterpieces featuring planes such as Porco Rosso: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._Poster%29.jpg And Nausicaa (has a lot of flying machines that behave like planes): http://i.toynewsi.com/g/albums/Anime...news/mehve.jpg Though in none of these examples the whole movie occurs inside a plane. |

Re: Best plane movies?
Executive Decision is an underrated action movie about a hijacked plane.

Re: Best plane movies?
idk if they're the best.. but passenger 57 and red eye are two other plane movies
|
Another one that comes to mind which is ok is Flightplan with Jodie Foster and Peter Saasgard (or however you spell it).
|
Re: Best plane movies?
All of the above are good ones. Another was No Highway In The Sky, a James Stewart flick that came out about 1950 or so.
|
Re: Best plane movies?
I just thought of another one, but I forget the title. It was an English film with Jack Hawkins, about a test pilot who was demonstrating a plane for some prospective buyers, and has a problem with the plane where he cant land. It was an edge-of-your-seat thriller.

Re: Best plane movies?
Man in the Sky. I just remembered the Jack Hawkins film.
|
Re: Best plane movies?
There's many more. :)

Re: Best plane movies?
gotta love the old twilight zone with william shatner. there's something on the wing of the plane!! although i kept expecting him to turn to the camera and start talking about saving money by using priceline.com
|
Soul Plane.
just kidding. |
Re: Best plane movies?
I would go for Top Gun. Yeah, it was cheesy, but I dunno, it just doesn't get old to me.
Mainly because I had a crush on Mr.Cruise, I even set our wifi passkey to Maverick :-) P.S. Con Air is nice too! |
The Right Stuff had some good plane stuff in it too
|
I'll have to preach to the choir and say Flight, Con-Air, and Dr.Strangelove. I'll also throw in Fearless, The Aviator, and Flight Of The Phoenix (1965, haven't watched the 2004 film.)
There's also a few others I can think of that had great scenes with planes, like Bridesmaids, and The Dark Knight Rises.:yup: |
