I think we are running out of movies.
One correction "The Flight of the Phoenix" the first one in 1965 with Mr. James Stewart, yes sir. The 2004 remake was lame.
Talk about a real pilot, James Stewart, real actor, yep, they don't make them like that anymore and I am not that old. I was barely born when the original was made.

Plus all the great movies! Hummmmm Take that TC and JT.
I guess one criteria of GOOD aviation movies is will it stand the test of time. I think, although Wiz of O was great move, I would say, hey it could just be me, but flying houses and monkey's might not quite get a nod in the aviation genre. Hey I could be wrong. Probably just me.

Bullet with Steve McQueen, of course a classic, but flying Mustang?

well OK.
