While The Right Stuff was a movie about the early days of the space program, the Mercury program, nearly the first half of the movie was about the Air Force test pilots during the early days of jet aircraft, especially focusing on Chuck Yeager and his breaking of the sound barrier.

Top Gun #1? Pish!

The Right Stuff deserves to be on that list, if not very high up on that list.

I is among my favorite movies of all time; in my top ten favorite movies. Although I will say that Airplane! is one of my favorite comedy movies, right up there with Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Monty Python And The Holy Grail and Bringing Up Baby.

I haven’t seen “Airplane!” in a long time. I just pulled it up on Netflix; my teenagers will love it.
