Two *OLD* Aviation Movies

Anyone mention the 1930 Howard Hughs movie "Hells Angels"? The effort to make this movie was part of the Leonardo Decaprio movie "Aviator". The story line is pretty iffy but the air to air camera work, not to mention the flying models is wonderful - especially so for the time period the movie was made. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020960/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_9. Unsure how to stream that.

Another good one from the era is the 1927 "Wings" staring a young Gary Cooper and the "It Girl" Clara Bow. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018578/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2. Available on Amazon and YouTube for a fee.

What are your favorite Aviation based movies?
A couple of mine are Jimmy Stewart in the original Flight of the Phoenix.
Another, made more recently, is Tom Cruise in Made In America, if you haven't seen this its well worth a watch, lotta good flying in there.
Top Gun, of course, is on this list too. Motorcycles, Fighters, smoking HOT women, what more is there to life?
What are some of your favorites?

Birds of Prey, and Deadly Encounters (great helicopter films, as far as films go).

Dark Blue World, a Sony production, Czech pilots flying for the RAF in Spitfires. Great air to air shots, poetic.

Bloody foreigners. Untold Battle of Britain. A documentary on a similar topic:

Snake Pitkin's "Escape From New York"? l think, not exactly an aviation movie but a scene landing a Grob on a roof top.

633 Squadron if you like the sound of twin Merlins on a Mosquito.
