The High and the Mighty (1954) and Flight of the Phoenix (1965) are personal favorites.

The original “Flight of the Phoenix” should be in the top 5.

“13 Hours by Air” (1936) is an old favorite.

What about “Spirit of St. Louis” (1957), even though Jimmy Stewart was WAY too old to be playing Lindbergh?

Top Gun with its homosexual overtones is not better than Airplane!

They are used to provide lift to the aircraft, but there’s no time to talk about that now.

Guy who made the list must have a drinking problem. :)

All kidding aside, I quote Airplane! more than any other movie I've ever seen. Just thinking of it makes me smile.
