Must have aviation movies

"Zero Hour". Ya gotta watch that BEFORE you watch "Airplane".
"Airplane"
takes it's entire plot from "Zero Hour"...including big chunks of the
exact
dialog. Makes "Airplane" even funnier after you see the "original".
Trust me!

Can't find that one anywhere.


The High and the Mighty...if you can find it, too.

If you look, there's a few copies on VHS that show up on E-bay every now and
then. I got one a year or so ago (was about $80!). Crappy quality, looks
like a copy of a copy of a bootleg. But, since I was born after it was last
shown to the public, that was my only chance to see it...

Now, if anyone can find a copy of Zero Hour... I hear that the studio that
mad Airplane! bought the rights to that movie before they released it. Kind
sucks to keep a classic like that under lock and key for petty reasons like
that... It would almost be better to relase the two together I would
think...

Well, I can't find the reference to it now, but on some board I was
on, someone mentioned that Turner Classic Movies runs Zero Hour every
once in a blue moon. So, set your TiVo for 'Zero Hour', in the movie
category, and you might get lucky.

Never saw the movie - is Stephen Coonts Flight of the Intruder any good? I
like his books - seems like they would make good movies. Also, some of John
Nance's books seem like natural movie fodder.

I liked it, but it had so many places that lagged enough to put you to
sleep...

Personally, I like FOTI. They stayed truer to that book than any of the Tom
Clancy stories which were made into movies.

I walked out on Hunt For Red October. Like Sean Connery, but they shelved
too much of the original for my liking.

"The daring men in their flying crates" is too close to the title of a
completely different movie. What was wrong with "Der Große Waldo Pfeffer"
anyway?
