Over 250 aviation films!?

While reminiscing on aviation themed movies (thanks to the thread started
by Jay Honeck's film-night post), I came across this article published in
the March 2006 issue of Flying Magazine, which attempts to list the best
(and worse) aviation movies:

"The Envelope, Please." by By Tom Benenson:

More interesting to me was his link to the list of over 250 (or 350)
aviation themed movies compiled by Professor Susan Nicosia of Daniel
Webster College:

Nice list - though I wouldn't classify some of the films as aviation-
themed. And I count about 268 entries - not sure where Tom Benenson got a
count over 350. But it's a great memory jogger - even though I've seen
only a tiny fraction of the films listed. Scanning down the list, these
are the ones that I like enough to recommend to others who I think
might like good aviation-themed movies:

"Airplane!"
"Always"
"Apollo 13"[*]
"Best Years of Our Lives"[*]
"The Dam Busters"
"Dark Star"[*]
"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
"The Flight of the Phoenix" (1965 version)
"No Highway in the Sky"
"The Right Stuff"
"The Rocketeer"
"The Spirit of St. Louis"
"Spitfire"
"Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines"
"Twelve O'clock High"
"2001: A Space Odyssey"[*]

Not on that list, but one I'd recommend:
"Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow"
[*] - I don't see how these are considered aviation-themed movies. But they
were on the list and I'd recommend them.
