Must have aviation movies

What are some "must have" movies that have an aviation theme in them? I
want to get a collection together and I was wanting some input from the
group.

Thanks

I don't know if it qualifies as an 'aviation movie' but I like "Always"
with Richard Dreyfuss

The A26 Tanker59 used in the movie is sitting on the field here in
Billings, next to its sister A26. Both for sale.

I like "The War Lover" with Steve McQueen.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

I was a pilot in one of the birds that taxied out of the parking area.

They told us to 'burn rubber' so it wouldn't take as many minutes on
screen and I blew all the Mechs and loose items away leaving (

Anything for Hollywood.

Didn't even have one of the principals in the bird, just one of my
regular students and we went on and completed his training mission.

They gave us a pre view of film before release and you never heard
such hooting and hollering the way it was cut.
