The Best and Worst Aviation Movies

a thread to discuss which movies you think are the best aviation movies and recommend to others, and which are the worst and should not waste time even watching them

lets start with the worst

Top Gun 1986
The movie aviation enthusiasts love to hate, full of inacuracies, F-5E’s called Mig-28 launching exocet missiles, the flury of idiots who see the movie and think the Mig-28 is real, this movie i can’t stand

The Red Baron 2008
More a tale of How he came to be, not much in the way of air action, very boring movie

Stealth
a UCAV that downloads music and thinks its the man, the only good part was the action with the SU-37 Terminators, otherwise highly boring

Iron Eagle 2
F-4 Phantoms called Mig-29, didnt even bother changing the Israeli camo, crap plot, crap movie

Movies i recommend

Flight of the Intruder 1990
Great movie about the A-6 intruders of the US Navy, Danny Glover as the Squadron Leader, great realistic action, aerial action with a Mig-19, getting shotdown and rescued by the Ch-53 covered by A-1 Skyraiders, all round awesome movie

Firefox 1980
Yes the Mig-31 Firefox doesnt exist, but a Mach 5 aircraft with thought control capabilities, infiltrating and stealing the plane, escaping the Soviet Union, landing on Polar Ice, great movie for its age, Clint Eastwood played it well, there is a sequal novel called Firefox Down which picks up where it left off, plane suffered damage in battle with second firefox, losing fuel it lands on ice lake in Finland, the breaks through ice and sinks to the bottom, Mitchel Gant (Clint Eastwood) is captured

There was an awesome french movie from 2005 about the Mirage 2000, think its called Sky Fighters

please recommend any movies or tell us about any not to go near
